A 2.8-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.2-kg cart that is held initially at rest. The carts are loaded with strong magnets that cause them to attract one another. Thus, the speed of each cart increases. At a certain instant before the carts collide, the first cart's velocity is +4.6 m/s, and the second cart's velocity is -2.7 m/s. (a) What is the total momentum of the system of the two carts at this instant? (b) What was the velocity of the first cart when the second cart was still at rest?

(a) assume the equation x = at^3 + bt describes the motion of a particular object, with x having the dimension of length and t having the dimension of time. determine the dimensions of the constants a and b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.) (b) determine the dimensions of the derivative dx/dt = 3at^2 + b. (use the following as necessary: l and t, where l is the unit of length and t is the unit of time.)

In the circuit, the switch s has been open for a long time and r = 125 kohm. it is then suddenly closed. (a) determine the time constant before the switch is closed. s (b) determine the time constant after the switch is closed. _ s (c) let the switch be closed at t = 0. find the current in the switch as a function of time. (use t for time. express your answer in milliamps and seconds.) i(t) =_

3. a worker pushes a 30.5 kg polished stone along a polished table with a force on bonin a straight line for 5.20 s after starting from rest. there is no friction between thestone and the table. at the end of the table. the stone is hooked to a cable with a lengthof 62.0 cm to rotate it to a rough table to store until they can be picked up. the roughtable has a coefficient of static friction 0.702 with the polished stone. remember that 8= 9.80 m/s2a) what is the speed of the stone when it is hooked to the cable? b) what is the tension in the cable while the stone is rotating? (there is still nofriction)c) how much force is needed to make the stone begin sliding from rest on therough table? ius = 0.70262.0 cm30.5 kg20.5 kg6= 0
