A 3.0-kg cart moving to the right with a speed of 1.0 m/s has a head-on collision with a 5.0-kg cart that is initially moving to

the left with a speed of 2.0 m/s. After the collision, the 3.0-kg cart is moving to the left with a speed of 1.0 m/s. What is the final velocity of the 5.0-kg cart?

Answer:

$v = 0.8 m/s$ towards left

Explanation:

As we know that there is no external force on the system of two cart so total momentum of the system is conserved

so we will say

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

now plug in all data into the above equation

$3(1) + 5(-2) = 3(-1) + 5 v$

here we assumed that left direction of motion is negative while right direction is positive

so we can solve it for speed v now

$3 - 10 = - 3 + 5 v$

$5 v = -4$

$v = -0.8 m/s$

A proposed space elevator would consist of a cable stretching from the earth's surface to a satellite, orbiting far in space, th

NISA [10]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to energy conservation. Here we will use the conservation between the potential gravitational energy and the kinetic energy to determine the velocity of this escape. The gravitational potential energy can be expressed as,

$PE= \frac{GMm}{d}$

The kinetic energy can be written as,

$KE= \frac{1}{2} mv^2$

Where,

$G = 6.67*10^{-11}m^3/kg\cdot s^2$ Gravitational Universal Constant

$m = 5.972*10^{24}kg$ Mass of Earth

$h = 56*10^6m$ Height

$r = 6.378*10^6m$ Radius of Earth

From the conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{GMm}{d}$

Rearranging to find the velocity,

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{d}} \rightarrow$ Escape velocity at a certain height from the earth

If the height of the satellite from the earth is h, then the total distance would be the radius of the earth and the eight,

$d = r+h$

$v = \sqrt{\frac{2Gm}{r+h}}$

Replacing the values we have that

$v = \frac{2(6.67*10^{-11})(5.972*10^{24})}{6.378*10^6+56*10^6}$

$v = 3.6km/s$

Therefore the escape velocity is 3.6km/s

A small smooth object slides from rest down a smooth inclined plane inclined at 30degrees horizontal.What is the acceleration do

asambeis [7]

The acceleration is given as:

a = g sin(30°) where g is the gravitational acceleration

For g = 10 m/s^2, we get

a = 10 sin(30°) = 10 * 1/2 = 5 m/s^2

a block of mass m slides along a frictionless track with speed vm. It collides with a stationary block of mass M. Find an expres

shusha [124]

Answer:

Part a) When collision is perfectly inelastic

$v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}$

Part b) When collision is perfectly elastic

$v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that collision is perfectly inelastic

so here we will have

$mv_m = (m + M)v$

so we have

$v = \frac{mv_m}{m + M}$

now we know that in order to complete the circle we will have

$v = \sqrt{5Rg}$

$\frac{mv_m}{m + M} = \sqrt{5Rg}$

now we have

$v_m = \frac{m + M}{m} \sqrt{5Rg}$

Part b)

Now we know that collision is perfectly elastic

so we will have

$v = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}$

now we have

$\sqrt{5Rg} = \frac{2mv_m}{m + M}$

$v_m = \frac{m + M}{2m}\sqrt{5Rg}$

AlekseyPX

Answer:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

Explanation:

The height of the wave is determined by the wind strength and fetch.

The more the strength and the more the fetch size the more will be the height of the wave.

Remember as the wave approaches the coast its wavelength decreases and the wave height increases, whereas when the wave goes away from the coast its wavelength increases and height decreases.
