A 2.0-kg cart is rolling along a frictionless, horizontal track towards a 1.8-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 5.9 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

If a clock aboard a space ship traveling at 0.900 c of the speed of light relative to earth chimes once at the beginning of the hour and again when it reads one hour later, how much time would an observer on earth say elapsed between the two chimes?

The x-coordinate of a particle in curvilinear motion is given by x = 3.1t3 - 4.9t where x is in feet and t is in seconds. the y-component of acceleration in feet per second squared is given by ay = 2.3t. if the particle has y-components y = 0 and vy = 5.0 ft/sec when t = 0, find the magnitudes of the velocity v and acceleration a when t = 1.8 sec. sketch the path for the first 1.8 seconds of motion, and show the velocity and acceleration vectors for t = 1.8 sec. answers: v = ft/sec a = ft/sec2
