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

Consider two vectors: A =3î – 2ĵ and B = î – 2 ĵ a) Use the component method to determine the magnitude and direction of vector C = Ã+B. b) Use the graphical method to determine the magnitude and direction of C .arrow_forwardBruce 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_forward

- Activity 1.12- Vector Problems I 1. The final push to the summit of Mt. Everest starts at Camp 3. Your displacement from Camp 3 to Camp 4 is 400- meter west, 600-meter south, and 100 meter up. From Camp 4 to the peak is 900-meter east, 200-meter south, and 200 meter up. a. What is the displacement vector from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? Give distances east/west, north/south and up/down from Camp 3 to the peak. b. What is the straight-line distance from Camp 3 to the peak of Mt. Everest? The straight-line distance is the distance if you drew a straight line from Camp 3 to Mt. Everest. 2. A spinning ball is falling straight downwards at 5 m/s bounces off the floor. Immediately after losing contact with the floor, the ball is moving at 4 m/s at 30° from vertical as shown. The ball is in contact with the floor for 0.15 a. Write the velocity vector of the ball just before the bounce in component vector form, ie, using unit vectors I and/or /. b.
