Cart 1 has an initial velocity and hits cart 2 which is stationary. after a perfectly inelastic collision, the combined carts ar

e traveling with exactly one third the initial velocity of cart 1, and in the same direction. which is correct about the mass of cart 2? the mass of cart 2 must be twice the mass of cart 1. the mass of cart 2 must have decreased during the collision. the mass of cart 2 must be one third the mass of cart 1. the mass of cart 2 must be the same as the mass of cart 1.

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.

What is Nuclear energy
Yuliya22 [10]

Answer:

Nuclear energy is that released by dividing the nuclei of heavy atoms (also called under the name Nuclear Fission)

Explanation:

In this process, a large amount of heat is generated that can be used to obtain mechanical energy, which is used to generate electrical energy.

Nuclear energy is a sustainable source of energy having a low impact on the environment.

A person, with his ear to the ground, sees a huge stone strike the concrete pavement. A moment later two sounds are heard from t
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

271.095 m

Explanation:

✓ Let speed of sound in air that was given as (343 m/s) be represented as (Vi)

✓( speed of sound in concrete that was given as (3000 m/s ) be debited as (Vc)

✓ Let the distance travelled by the sound = s

✓duration of Time that exist between heard of sounds = 0.70s

But we know that

Time = (Distance / Speed)

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through air= s/vi = s/343

✓Time it takes the sound to travel through concrete= s/vc = s/3000

✓ (s/343) - (s/3000) = 0.70

Finding LCM and simplify

[(3000s - 343s)]/1029000 = 0.70

2657s /1029000 = 0.70

Making " s" subject of the formula

s= (1029000 × 0.70)/2657

s=720300/ 2657

s= 271.095 m

Hence, The impact took place at a distance of 271.095 m away from the person.
