Two carts sit on a horizontal, frictionless track; the spring between them is compressed. The small cart has mass m, and the mass of the larger cart is M = 5.29m. NOTE: Every velocity needs magnitude and direction (given by the sign).
a) Suppose the carts are initially at rest, and after the "explosion" the smaller cart is moving at velocity v = +4.88 m/s. - Find the velocity of the larger cart. V =
Assume now that the mass of the smaller cart is m = 8.91 kg. Assuming there is no loss of energy: find the energy stored in the spring before the explosion. Wk =
If the spring has spring constant k = 935 N/m: find x, the distance the spring was compressed before the "explosion".
b) Suppose the carts are initially moving together, with the spring compressed between them, at constant velocity vo = +9.39 m/s. After the "explosion", the smaller cart is moving at velocity v = +4.88 m/s. Find the velocity of the larger cart.
c) Suppose now that the small cart (mass m) is initially moving at velocity vo = +3.3 m/s. At what velocity would the large cart (mass 5.29m) have to be moving so, when they collide and stick together, they remain at rest?
If you can show the work/ provide explanation I would greatly appreciate it :) Thanks

A square insulating sheet 70.0 cm on a side is held horizontally. The sheet has 3.50 nC of charge spread uniformly over its area. Part A Calculate the magnitude of the electric field at a point 0.100 mm above the center of the sheet. Express your answer with the appropriate units. E E = nothing nothing Request Answer Part B Estimate the magnitude of the electric field at a point located a distance 200 m above the center of the sheet. Estimate the magnitude of the electric field at a point located a distance 200 above the center of the sheet. E = 2.25×10−5 N/C E = 9.83×10−5 N/C E = 7.87×10−4 N/C E = 1.10×10−2 N/C Request Answer Part C Would the answers to parts A and B be different if the sheet were made of a conducting material? Select the correct answer and explanation. Would the answers to parts and be different if the sheet were made of a conducting material? Select the correct answer and explanation. The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both faces, giving it half the charge density on either face as the insulator and the same electric field only close to the sheet. The answer to part A would not change, but the answer to part B would change. The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both faces, giving it half the charge density on either face as the insulator and changing the sign of the electric field. Both answers would change. The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both faces, giving it half the charge density on either face as the insulator and changing the electric field. Far away, they both look like points with the same charge. The answer to part B would not change, but the answer to part A would change. The charge would automatically spread out evenly over both faces, giving it half the charge density on either face as the insulator but the same electric field. Far away, they both look like points with the same charge. Neither answer would change.
