Question
Two rolling carts are moving toward each other at the same speed.
Cart 1 has a mass m1 =200g and Cart 2 has a mass m2 =400g.
Draw a velocity vector v → for each cart. Momentum p → is a vector defined as p → = m v →. Draw a momentum vector for each cart. Then add the two momentum vectors together to find the total momentum, vector P total =vector p1 + vector p2

- A rocket is propelled forward as very high speed gases are ejected out of its back. Which one of the following is the best explanation as to why the rocket is propelled forward? The high speed gases push on the rocket as they are ejected and propel it forward. B) The rocket is propelled forward because both energy and momentum must be conserved. The rocket is propelled forward due to the conservation of momentum. Because the gases are pushing against the air, the air propels the rocket forward.arrow_forwardTwo vehicles are approaching an intersection. One is a 2500 kgkg pickup traveling at 15.0 m/sm/s from east to west (the −x−x-direction), and the other is a 1600 kgkg sedan going from south to north (the +y+y-direction at 25.0 m/sm/s).

Its speed before the turn is 23.0 m/s and after the turn it is 27.6 m/s. Calculate the magnitude of the change in the car's momentum.arrow_forward6.3 PQ1 Newton's second law can be stated that the force is equal to the rate of change of momentum, F = d(mv)/dt. Tak- ing the derivative by parts yields F = m(dv) / (dt) + v(dm) / (dt). This does not correspond to F = ma. What is the source of the discrepancy? %3Darrow_forward
