Carts Definition and 59 Threads

Two air-track carts, one on the left with mass 100g and one on the left with mass 300g) are sliding to the right at 1.0 m/s. There is a spring between them that has a spring constant of 100N/m and is compressed 4.2 cm. There is a string that holds the two carts together. The carts slide past a...

[SOLVED] Two carts with masses of 8.0 kg and 1.8 kg, respectively, move on a friction Homework Statement Two carts with masses of 8.0 kg and 1.8 kg, respectively, move on a frictionless track with velocities of 8.0 m/s and 3.5 m/s. The carts stick together after colliding head-on. Find the...

Homework Statement The drawing below shows two laboratory carts (each has a mass of 1.0 kg) X and Y in contact with a compressed exploder spring between them. The mass on cart Y is 2.84 kg, distance A is 12 cm, distance B is 18 cm. What mass must be placed on cart X, such that after the...

Homework Statement The drawing below shows two laboratory carts (each has a mass of 1.0 kg) X and Y in contact with a compressed exploder spring between them. The mass on cart Y is 2.17 kg, distance A is 60 cm, distance B is 90 cm. What mass must be placed on cart X, such that after the...

Homework Statement Two carts, each with a mass of 1kg, are moving along a track towards one another. One cart is moving to the right at 4m/s and the other is moving to the left at 2m/s. Write down the momentum vector for each cart in column vector notation. Add these together to get the...

Homework Statement A cart of mass M1 = 6 kg is attached to a block of mass M2 = 3 kg by a string that passes over a frictionless pulley. The system is initially at rest and the table is frictionless. After the block has fallen a distance h = 1 m, What is the work Ws done on the cart by the...

Homework Statement A massless spring of spring constant 20 N/m is placed between two carts. Cart 1 has a mass M1 = 5 kg and Cart 2 has a mass M2 = 2 kg. The carts are pushed toward one another until the spring is compressed a distance 1.5 m. The carts are then released and the spring pushes...

There is a1kg cart with a 0.5kg cart attached to it. There is an applied force of 4N on the 1kg cart: --4N-->[1kg][0.5kg] What is the force on the 1kg cart due to the 0.5 kg cart? F=ma 4N=1.5a a=2.67m/s^2 F=ma F=(0.5)(2.67m/s^2) F=1.3 What is the force on the 0.5kg cart due to...

As promised in another thread: Riddle me this, riddle me that... There are two carts on the table. For each cart, there is a rope attached on one side to the cart and via a pulley it is hanging over the edge of the table. On the other end of one rope a 5 kg weight is attached and on the other...
