Use Newton's second law and the definition of acceleration to derive an equation for each cart relating the net force on the chart to the change in velocity of the cart
1. Is the quantity
For a constant net force, the quantity
2. Is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to cart A greater than, less than, or equal to the magnitude of the impulse imparted to cart B? Explain your reasoning.
3. Write an equation showing how the impulse imparted to cart A is related to the change in momentum vector of cart
This relationship is known as the impulse-momentum theorem.
4. Is the magnitude of the final momentum of cart

- The formula for the braking distance of a car is: 0.033612² μ d= where: .d v ● is the braking distance (in feet) is the initial velocity of the car (in miles per hour) is the coefficient of friction between the tires and the roadway At the scene of an accident, the driver tells a police officer he had been driving at 25 miles per hour when he slammed on his brakes and skidded off the road. If the road is covered in snow with a friction coefficient of μ = 0.25, how long should the skid marks be if the driver was really going 25 miles per hour? feet (Round to 1 decimal place.) d= The officer measures the skid marks and finds they are 147 feet long, which shows the driver was going faster than 25 miles per hour.

- Bruce begins 7 kilometers to the north of town and rides his bike along a straight trail which leads to a park 3km west of town. It takes him 20 minutes to cover this distance. Write a vector in component form that describes his ride while also finding the magnitude and direction of this vector. Also, find the component of Bruce's motion which is in the direction of SW using a unit vector that uses both forms of the dot product (algebraic and geometric), then write parametric equations expressing his motion with the town being represented by the origin and t=0 being his starting point. Using these equations, what is his position after 5 minutes? Then eliminate the parameter to get a rectangular equation for this linear path and verify algabraically amd graphically that this equation represents the line.arrow_forwardThe position-time graph that describes the motion of an object is given as in the figure below. if the values of a= 138.4m, b=227.5m and c=312.5m, Find the distance traveled by the object ( in units of m) over the time interval of [0, 40] s. x(m) a t(s) 10 30 40 Select one: O A. 263.2 OB. 401.6 OC. 490.7 OD. 678.4 O E. 540.0 20arrow_forward1. Kenny is climbing the stairs of his apartment building for exercise. Kenny weighs 83 kg. There are 8 steps in each flight and the height of a single step on the staircase is 11 inches. He climbs the flight of stairs in 3.4 seconds. a.) calculate the long-term rate at which stairs can be climbed considering the given information.(how long can be sustained in stair per second) b.) Why does Kenny descend stairs at a faster rate for a nearly unlimited time although very similar forces are exerted descending as they are ascending?(This points to a fundamentally different process for descending versus climbing stairs.)arrow_forward
