A cart of mass 6.0 kg moves with a speed of 3.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart with a mass of 3.0 kg. The carts move on a

frictionless surface and when the carts collide they stick together. What is the ratio of the initial kinetic energy of the two-cart system to the final kinetic energy of the two-cart system?

Answer:1.5

Explanation:

Given

mass of first  cart m_1=6 kg

initial Velocity u_1=3 m/s

mass of second cart m_2=3 kg

u_2=0 m/s

In the absence of External Force we can conserve momentum

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{m_1+m_2}

v=\frac{6\times 3+3\times 0}{6+3}

v=2 m/s

Final kinetic Energy of two masses

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}\cdot (3+6)\cdot (2)^2

K.E._2=18 J

Initial Kinetic Energy

K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2u_2^2

K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}6\times 3^2+0

K.E._1=27 J

ratio =\frac{K.E._1}{K.E._2}=\frac{27}{18}=1.5

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
Anni [7]

Answer:  20.4 miles

Explanation:

Here we need to use the equation:

Velocity = Distance/Time.

Initially we have that he can travel 30 miles in 2 hours, so the velocity is:

V = 30mi/2h = 15mph

Now, we reduce the velocity by 3 mph, so the new velocity is 15mph - 3 mph = 12mph.

Now we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7 hours with this velocity, this is.

Velocity*Time = Distance

12mi/h*1.7h = 20.4 miles
