While visiting the amusement park, Sarah and Sam choose to ride the bumper cars while their instructor records video of their collisions. Back in the classroom, the students analyze a head-on collision between Sarah and Sam’s two cars. The velocity of each car after the collision is equal to the velocity of the other car before the collision (i. e., the cars switch velocities). What can the students infer about the masses of the bumper cars?
A) Their masses are equal because both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
B) Their masses are unequal because both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.
C) Their masses are unequal because neither momentum nor kinetic energy is conserved.
D) Their masses are unequal because neither momentum nor kinetic energy is conserved.

The ultracentrifuge is an important tool for separating and analyzing proteins. because of the enormous centripetal accelerations, the centrifuge must be carefully balanced, with each sample matched by a sample of identical mass on the opposite side. any difference in the masses of opposing samples creates a net force on the shaft of the rotor, potentially leading to a catastrophic failure of the apparatus. suppose a scientist makes a slight error in sample preparation and one sample has a mass 10 mg larger than the opposing sample. if the samples are 12 cm from the axis of the rotor and the ultracentrifuge spins at 70,000 rpm, what is the magnitude of the net force on the rotor due to the unbalanced samples? ( be thorough on your answer)

An electron is ejected into a horizontal uniform e⃗ field at a parallel horizontal velocity of v0. assume the electron's initial position x0, initial velocity v0, time t, magnitude of electric field e, electron's mass m, and the magnitude of the electron's charge |e|. ignore the force that earth exerts on the electron. assume the e⃗ field is in the same direction as the initial velocity. part a define the equation for the electron's velocity. express your answer in terms of the variables v0, |e|, t, e, and m.
