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.

Compressions and rarefactions are characteristic of
Korvikt [17]

Answer:

Of longitudinal waves

Explanation:

Depending on the direction of the oscillation, there are two types of waves:

- Transverse waves: in a transverse wave, the oscillations occur perpendicularly to the direction of propagation of the wave. Examples are electromagnetic waves.

- Longitudinal waves: in a longitudinal wave, the oscillations occur parallel to the direction of propagation of the wave. In such a wave, the oscillations are produced by alternating regions of higher density of particles, called compressions, and regions of lower density of particles, called rarefactions. Examples of longitudinal waves are sound waves.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Electromagnetic radiation consists of discrete packets of kinetic energy called Photons, which are characterized by a certain wavelength and energy level.

<h3>What are photons? </h3>

The representation by a particle of a quantum of light or any other electromagnetic radiation is called photons. The energy is proportional to the frequency of radiation however it has zero mass. It travels at a constant speed. It is a carrier of energy. When the sun changes the particles into both light and heat, it is a photon. They don’t carry any electrical charge. They are like electric fields traveling through space as shown by Maxwell in his theory.  They can be easily created and destroyed. They are also called light quantum.
