    Two carts are rolling to the right along the same level track. Cart 1, with a mass m1 = 3.4 kg, is in the rear, rolling at a speed of 6.2 m/s and catching up to cart 2, which is rolling at a speed of 3.2 m/s. Choose signs carefully; only speeds are given. a) Cart 1 overtakes and collides with cart 2, sticking to it (both have Velcro pads). Afterward, they both continue rolling right, now at a speed...

  • A cart is moving horizontally along a straight line with constant speed 30 m/s.

    Problem 12:A cart is moving horizontally along a straight line with constant speed 30 m/s. A projectile is to be fired from the moving cart in such a way that it will return to the cart after the cart has moved 80m. At what speed (relative to the cart) and at what angle (to the horizontal) must the projectile be fired?NOTE: remember that to calculate the speed of the projectile respect to the cart, we need to subtract the velocity...

    A zero-friction (air bearing) cart is heading downhill on a slightly inclined track. At a moment when the cart’s speed downhill is 2.15 m/s, a fan thruster on the cart is activated. The cart immediately begins to experience constant acceleration, such that is slows in its motion, stops for an instant (1.86 s after the fan is turned on), and begins to drive uphill. Analyze the motion beginning when the fan is turned on. How far does the cart travel...
