A 0.050-kg lump of clay moving horizontally at 12 m/s strikes and sticks to a stationary 0.15-kg cart that can move on a frictio

nless air track. Determine the speed of the cart and clay after the collision.

Answer:

Explanation:

According to the parameters provided,

mass of the clay lump, m₁ = 0.05 kg

initial velocity of the lump, u₁ = 12 m/s

mass of the cart, m₂ = 0.15 kg

initial speed of the cart, u₂ = 0

As the clay adheres to the cart, we have an inelastic collision scenario. Let v represent the combined speed of both the cart and lump post-collision. Given that momentum is conserved, we have:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

v=\dfrac{0.05\ kg\times 12\ m/s+0}{0.05\ kg+0.15\ kg}

The resultant speed is v = 3 m/s.

Thus, the final speed of both cart and lump following the collision is 3 m/s. This concludes the solution.

The potential energy of a 40 kg cannon ball is 14000 J. How high was the cannon ball to have this much potential energy?
Keith_Richards [3271]
Potential energy is given by PE = mgh
It could possess that amount of potential energy if its height relative to a reference point is sufficiently large.

A kinesin that is transporting a secretory vesicle uses approximately 80 ATP molecules/s. Each ATP provides a kinesin molecule w
inna [3103]

Answer:

The force is  F = 8*10^{-12} \ N

Explanation:

According to the inquiry, we understand that

     The rate at which ATP molecules are utilized is R = 80 ATP/ s

       The energy yielded by a single ATP molecule is  E_{ATP} = 0.8 * 10^{-19} J

       The kinesin's velocity is  v = 800 nm/s = 800*10^{-9} m/s

The power generated by the ATP in one second can be expressed mathematically as

       P = E_{ATP} * R

After substituting the values

       P = 80 * 0.8*10^{-19 }

       P = 6.4 *10^{-18}J/s

Now this power can be represented mathematically as

       P = F * v

Where  F indicates the force exerted by the kinesin

Therefore

          F = \frac{P}{v}

after substituting input values

            F = \frac{6.4*0^{-18}}{800 *10^{-9}}

           F = 8*10^{-12} \ N

An ant travels 2.78 cm [W] and then turns and travels 6.25 cm [S 40 degrees E]. What is the ant's total displacement?
ValentinkaMS [3465]
The approximate answer is 6.84. Reasoning: (2.78^2 + 6.25^2)^(1/2) = 6.84 approx.

We fully submerge an irregular lump of material in a certain fluid. The fluid that would have been in the space now occupied by
Ostrovityanka [3204]

Answer:

the lump descends

Explanation:

The full articulation of the query is

Upon fully submerging a 3 kg lump of material in a certain fluid, the fluid that would have occupied the space now filled by the lump weighs 2 kg. (a) When released, does the lump float up, sink, or remain steady

(a)

F_{b} = Buoyant force acting upward on the lump

M = mass of irregular lump = 3 kg

m = mass of fluid displaced = 2 kg

The upward buoyant force on the lump is given by the weight of the displaced fluid, thus

F_{b} = mg = (2) (9.8) = 19.6 N

the weight of the irregular lump of material is represented as

W = mg\\W = (3) (9.8)\\W = 29.4 N

Given that the weight of the lump downward exceeds the upward buoyant force, the lump will indeed descend
