A 4.0-kg cart moving due east at 9.0 m/s collides with a 3.0-kg cart moving due west. The carts stick together and come to rest after the collision. What was the initial speed of the 3.0-kg cart?

Answers

Answer 1

Since the carts stick together and come to rest after the collision, the initial speed of the 3.0-kg cart is 12 m/s.

Given the following data:

Mass of cart 1 = 4.0 kgVelocity of cart 1 = 9.0 m/sMass of cart 2 = 3.0 kg

To find the initial speed of the 3.0-kg cart, we would apply the law of conservation of momentum:

For a perfectly inelastic collision:

[tex]M_1V_1 - M_2V_2 = V_f(M_1 + M_2)[/tex]

When the carts stick together and come to rest after the collision, the final velocity is zero (0).

[tex]M_1V_1 - M_2V_2 = 0\\\\M_1V_1 = M_2V_2\\\\V_2 = \frac{M_1V_1}{M_2}[/tex]

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

[tex]V_2 = \frac{4(9)}{3}\\\\V_2 = \frac{36}{3}[/tex]

Initial speed = 12 m/s

I think you would multiply 20 × 4 and the answer would be 80 that the scientist counted the number of plants in each 4 sections after 20 days.

The number of plants per square foot will be; 48.

Given that scientist planted seeds in 4 sections of soil for an experiment. Not all of the seeds grew into plants. After 20 days, the scientist counted the number of plants in each of the 4 sections.

What is addition?

The addition is one of the mathematical operations. The addition of two numbers results in the total amount of the combined value.

The number of plants per square foot:

= (25 × 13) + (100 × 38) + (125 × 47) + (150 × 62) / (25 + 100 + 125 + 150)

= (325 + 3800 + 5875 + 9300) / 400

= 48.25

Thus, it was illustrated by the number of plants and size of sections.

Thus, the number of plants per square foot will be 48.

The difference between the highest and lowest single game point totals for the MIDDLE HALF of the data is ______ points less for Joe's data than Sam's data. Therefore, the MIDDLE HALF of Joe's single game point totals are less varied than Sam's.

Answers

Answer:

See Explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is incomplete, as the required data to answer the question are missing.

However, the interpretation of the question is to determine the interquartile range (IQR) of a certain dataset.

Then get the difference between the calculated IQR & Joe's data and also the difference between the calculated IQR & Sam's data

Then, make comparison

To do this, I will use the following assumed datasets.

[tex]Data: 62, 63, 64, 64, 70, 72, 76, 77, 81, 81[/tex]

IQR is calculated as:

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

[tex]Q_3[/tex] is [tex]the\ median[/tex] of the upper half

[tex]Q_1[/tex] is [tex]the\ median[/tex] of the lower half

For Joe, we have:

[tex]Lower\ half: 62, 63, 64, 64, 70[/tex]

[tex]Upper\ half: 72, 76, 77, 81, 81[/tex]

The median is then calculated as:

[tex]M = \frac{N + 1}{2}[/tex]

For, the lower half:

[tex]Q_1 = \frac{5 + 1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3rd[/tex]

So:

[tex]Q_1 = 64[/tex]

For the upper half:

[tex]Q_3 = \frac{5 + 1}{2} = \frac{6}{2} = 3rd[/tex]

So:

[tex]Q_3 = 77[/tex]

When the same process is applied to Sam's data,

[tex]Q_1 = 52[/tex]

[tex]Q_3 = 58[/tex]

[tex]IQR = Q_3 - Q_1[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 77 - 64[/tex]

[tex]IQR = 13[/tex]

Assume that:

[tex]Joe = 60[/tex]

[tex]Sam = 65[/tex]

[tex]Joe - IQR = 60 - 13 = 47[/tex]

[tex]Sam- IQR = 65- 13 = 52[/tex]

Hence, the IQR is 47 points less for Joe's data than Sam's

What is the volume of the rectangular prism?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  17 7/9 yd³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is the product of the dimensions.

  V = LWH

  V = (3 1/3 yd)(2 2/3 yd)(2 yd) = (10/3)(8/3)(2) yd³ = 160/9 yd³ = 17 7/9 yd³

__

Additional comment

You can guess the correct answer with a couple of estimates.

  volume is greater than (3)(2)(2) = 12 . . . . rounding down to integer

  volume is less than (3 1/3)(3)(2) = 20 . . . . rounding 2 2/3 up to 3

Based on the way these numbers are rounded, the volume is closer to 20 than to 12. This strongly suggests that 17 7/9 is the correct answer.

Nic sells advertising packages for a radio station. The company pays him $150 per week and they also pay him $75 for every package he sells. His friend Asia works for the same radio station but she receives a salary only, which is $1,275 per week. How many packages does Nic need to sell in a week to earn as much as Asia?

Answers are:
A) 14
B) 15
C)16
D)20

Answers

I believe the answer would be 15, because Nic makes a base of $150 per week, so you would do the base $150+75=225 and keep going until you get 1275. The # of packages Nic would need to sell to reach Asia’s weekly pay is 15.

What is law of cosine?

The law of cosine states that the square of any one side of a triangle is equal to the difference between the sum of squares of the other two sides and double the product of other sides and cosine angle included between them.

Given

l = 30 inches

m = 69 inches

From the law of cosines

Cos <M = [tex]\frac{k^{2} +l^{2} -m^{2} }{2.k.l}[/tex]

Cos <M = [tex]\frac{76^{2} +30^{2} -69^{2} }{2.76.30}[/tex]

Cos <M = [tex]\frac{1915}{4560}[/tex]

Read the passage.EarthshipsWhat is an earthship?An earthship is a home designed to make use of recycled materials and increase energy conservation. Ideally, by living in an earthship, a person can have a home that is off the grid. People who live in earthships do not depend on outside sources for electricity, food, or water. Building an earthship may be an attractive choice for those who want to use fewer of our planets non-renewable resources.The FoundationFirst, the foundation is built by firmly packing dirt inside recycled tires. Then, the tires are placed in a pyramid-like stack going as high as needed. Next, cement is spread and smoothed between the tires to create a solid wall. When this is finished, the walls are sealed with a protective coating and painted. Some interior walls are built using recycled cans and cement, also sealed with a protective coating.Solar EnergySolar panels give enough stored energy in batteries to provide electricity for appliances, lighting, and electronics. However, solar-powered batteries hold about one-third the charge of energy used in a regular household wired for electricity. This means that people either buy more batteries or intend to use less electricity than a conventional household. Ideally, earthships are built in places where there is an abundance of sunshine year-round.Floor-to-ceiling windows on an earthships south wall also allow plenty of sunlight. It is important that no trees block the light on this side of the house. The sunlight shines directly onto a brick floor, which then absorbs the heat. This provides enough warmth to maintain a comfortable temperature in the house for the rest of the day. This method of heating the home is called passive solar. Most earthships also have either a wood stove or a heater that uses propane, a type of natural gas. These heat sources are useful on cloudy days. During the summer, the combination of the cool temperature of the earth beneath the floor plus the thick walls can keep the house comfortable without the use of air-conditioning.Recycled WaterGutters on the roof collect rainwater that then trickles down into large storage barrels. The water is used for taking showers, doing dishes, and flushing the toilet. It is also filtered for drinking. People sometimes build a greenhouse to grow their own food. Water that has been used for dishwashing or showers can be saved if the soaps are chemical-free. This recycled gray water can be used yet again to water the plants in the greenhouse.Potential ProblemsEarthships have been around since the 1970s. Now, long-term studies have revealed some problems. For one, without sufficient sunlight during the winter, large amounts of natural gas known as propane and/or wood are used to heat the home. Propane use can be costly, and unless one has planned far ahead, a wood supply can be quickly depleted.Another problem is that tires used in the foundation walls can, after a long period of time, begin to crack, releasing a toxic gas that has built up over time in the walls. The use of cement, which is a porous material with many small holes and spaces, allows the gases to leak into the air. The type of gas emitted is not detectable by smell but can make people sick. To address this problem, the walls of the home needs to be resealed every year.Cost can also be a significant challenge. Some earthship building companies claim that it is far cheaper to build an earthship because only recycled materials are used. Also, a contractors license or training is not needed to build one. This, though, is true if it is built 100% by the owner, which could take years to complete. Additionally, the cement, plumbing, and electrical components, as well as the cost of installing solar panels, can be expensive. Just as with the construction of a conventional home, proper permits are often needed to build an earthship.There are clear advantages and disadvantages to these unique homes. As technology improves and new solutions are discovered, earthships may continue to be a wise way to live sustainably using minimal resources.In the article, "Earthships," what does passive solar mean?a clean-burning natural gasa type of pollution resulting from cracking tiresthe use of the sun's energy for either heating or coolinga type of fossil fuel used for electricityplease help Steam Workshop Downloader
