A 310-g air track cart is traveling at 1.25 m/s and a 270-g cart traveling in the opposite direction at 1.33 m/s. What is the speed of the center of mass of the two carts

The speed of the center of mass of the two carts is 0.049 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first cart, m₁ = 310 g = 0.31 kg

speed of the first cart, v₁ = 1.25 m/s

mass of the second cart, m₂ = 270 g = 0.27 kg

speed of the second cart, v₂ = - 1.33 m/s (in opposite direction)

The speed of the center of mass of the two carts is calculated as;

Therefore, the speed of the center of mass of the two carts is 0.049 m/s.

a.) travels faster in solids because the particles are closer together.

air is a gas water is a liquid

the duration of a photographic flash is related to an rc time constant, which is 0.100 μs for a certain camera.
