This problem can be assume that the two railroad cars are moving  toward each other, and not in opposite direction, because of the condition of an head collision.

Given: Mass of Car₁ = 6,500 Kg;  Mass of Car₂ = 6,500 Kg

           Velocity of each Car  V = 80 Km/h or 22.22 m/s

 Required: Thermal energy or Total Kinetic energy

Formula: K.E = 1/2 MV²

Solution: Total Kinetic energy or  Tke  = (1/2 MV²)car₁ + (1/2 MV²)car₂

Tke = 1/2 (6,500 Kg)(22.22 m/s)² + 1/2 (6,500 Kg)(22.22 m/s)²

Total Thermal energy or Tke = 3,209 Joules

9) What will happen to the period of a pendulum if we change the rope of a pendulum with another which is four times with the in
Arturiano [62]

Double

Explanation:

Since the period T of a pendulum is given by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}

By increasing the length of the pendulum by 4, the period becomes

T' = 2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{4l}{g}} = 2\left(2\pi \sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}\right) = 2T

You can see that the period doubles when we increase the length by a factor of 4.

Light incident on a lake surface is partly reflected and partly refracted.What is the differences between the reflected ray and
iren2701 [21]

Answer: As per the question, a ray of light is incident on a surface and it is partly reflected and refracted. The incident light is an unpolarised light. The reflected light is partially polarised.

If the angle of incidence becomes equal to the Brester angle (polarising angle), then the reflected light is completely plane polarised.

kati45 [8]

a. use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce pressure on resources

Explanation:

A farmer using sustainable agricultural practices will use increased crop diversity and fewer off the farm resources in order to reduce dependency on other resources.

The major goal of sustainable agriculture is to cultivate plants and groom livestock in the best way that won't alter the environment.

  • This usually entail the cultivation of different crops.
  • Diversity of crops provides the means to sustain and retain soil fertility naturally without having to add fertilizers.
  • In animal husbandry, some of wastes are used on farm and the excesses from the farm are used to feed livestock.
  • Sustainable agriculture is a practice of self-reliant agriculture without infringing on the environment.

A force of 20 N produces an acceleration of 10 m/s² in mass m1 and an acceleration of 5 m/s² in
Scrat [10]

Explanation:

F = 20N m= m1 a=10m/s²

m=m2 a=5m/s²

F = ma

<u>for the first one</u><u>:</u><u> </u>

f=m1 × a

20 = m1 ×10

20=10m1

m1=20/10

m1=2

<u>for</u><u> </u><u>the</u><u> </u><u>second</u><u> </u><u>one</u><u> </u><u>:</u>

f=m2×a

20=m2×5

m2= 20/5

m2= 4

since F=ma

F=(m1+m2) ×a

F =(4+2)×a

F =6×a

F=20(from the question above )

20=6×a

a=20/6

a=3.33
