Option(a)  the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1  is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

Answer:

Magnetic field in Tesla: 1.65*10^−10 T,   0,   3.09*10^−10 T

Explanation:

Given data:

i = 4.8 A ,

dBx = 1.65*10^-10 T

dBy = 0 T

dBz = 3.09 * 10^-10 T

What will happen if a car experiences a 300 N force to the right from the engine and a separate 150 N force due to friction and
gayaneshka [121]

Force applied on the car due to engine is given as

F_1 = 300 N towards right

Also there is a force on the car towards left due to air drag

F_2 = 150 N towards left

now the net force on the car will be given as

\vec F_{net} = \vec F_1 + \vec F_2

now we can say that since the two forces are here opposite in direction so here the vector sum of two forces will be the algebraic difference of the two forces.

So we can say

F_{net} = F_1 - F_2

F_{net} = 300 - 150

F_[net} = 150 N

So here net force on the car will be 150 N towards right and hence it will accelerate due to same force.

If 20 beats are produced within one second, which of the following frequencies could possibly be held by two sound waves traveli
NeTakaya

Answer:

D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz

Explanation:

  • When two waves with different frequency travelling in the same medium meet each other, they produce an interference pattern called beat.
  • <em><u>The frequency of the beat produced is equivalent to </u></em><em><u>the difference between the individual frequencies of the two waves involved.</u></em>
  • <em><u>Therefore; in this case since the frequency of the beat is 20 Hz, that is from 20 beats per second.</u></em>
  • We need to find a pair from the choices whose frequency difference is 20 Hz.
  • This happens to be choice D. 22 Hz and 42 Hz,  that is 42 Hz - 22 Hz = 20 Hz

How do sea surface temperatures affect evaporation rate?
kotegsom [21]
<span>Answer: The temperature doesn't affect the evaporation rate, but affects on how much of water a parcel of air can contain when saturated which is known by the absolute humidity. Hurricanes are usually happening when the temperature of the sea water west of the Cape Verde islands is over 27 degrees Celsius. If ahead of the path of a hurricane, the sea water temperature drops then it will be less moisture in the air and perhaps the hurricane will fade out. But it is not as simple. How strong a tropical storm is is relative to the difference of temperture between ground level and the top of the troposphere. The greater the difference, the faster the air will rise and the deeper the pressure will be, forcing surrounding air to rush in, thus forming a hurricane force wind. Then there is the fact that the wet adiabatic lapse rate is about half that of dry air. It means that rising moist air cools down slower and therefore rises higher. Hence water is the true fuel of bad weather. But it can't be isolated from the fact that the difference of temperature must be great too. What we often forget is that the tropopause (the border to the stratosphere) is much higher over the equator and therefore, much colder than e.g. the poles.</span>
