Two carts undergo an inelastic collision where they stick together. Cart A has an initial velocity v0, and the second cart B is

initially at rest. After the collision, it is observed that the ratio of the final kinetic energy system to its initial kinetic energy is KfK0= 1/6. Determine the ratio of the carts' masses, mBmA. (Assume the track is frictionless.)

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of the system = 1/2 mA v0²

If Vf be the final velocity of both the carts

applying conservation of momentum

final velocity

Vf = mAvo / ( mA +mB)

kinetic energy ( final ) =  1/2 (mA +mB)mA²vo² /  ( mA +mB)²

= mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB)

Given 1/2 mA v0²  / mA²vo²  / 2( mA +mB) = 6

mA v0² x ( mA +mB) / mA²vo² = 6

( mA +mB) / mA = 6

mA + mB = 6 mA

5 mA = mB

mB / mA = 5 .

Un móvil se encuentra en la posición inicial x0 = 22 m, y se mueve con velocidad 5 m/s. Calcula la posición en la que se encuent
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer:

La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.

Explanation:

El movimiento rectilíneo uniforme (MRU) es el movimiento que describe un cuerpo o partícula a través de una línea recta a velocidad constante.

La distancia recorrida,  x , por un móvil que tiene un MRU con un velocidad  v  durante el intervalo de tiempo  t  es:

x= x0 + v*t

donde x0 es la posición inicial.

En este caso:

  • x0= 22 m
  • v= 5 m/s
  • t= 30 s

Reemplazando:

x= 22 m + 5 m/s* 30 s

Resolviendo:

x= 22 m + 150 m

x= 172 m

<u><em>La posición en la que se encuentra el móvil en el instante t = 30 s es 172 m.</em></u>

Is gas matter? How do you know? Hint: Remember there are 2 things we need to be considered matter.
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Gas is a state of matter that has no fixed shape and no fixed volume.

In addition to solids and liquids, gases are also a physical state in which matter can occur. All gases have weight. Unlike solids and liquids, gases will occupy the entire container that encloses them.

matter is "anything that has mass and volume (occupies space)

     <em>Gases have mass. The space between gas particles is empty. Gases can be formed as products in chemical reactions. Gas particles can form bonds between them under certain conditions</em>

<em>       Gases have volume which isn't fixed </em>(no fixed volume)<em> and no fixed shape. Gases expand to fill the space available. They can also be compressed into a very small space.</em>

It takes Mars about ____ Earth years to orbit the Sun.
OlgaM077 [116]
<span>At this distance, and with an orbital speed of 24.077 km/s, Mars takes 686.971 Earth days, the equivalent of 1.88 Earth years, to complete a orbit around the Sun. This eccentricity is one of the most pronounced in the Solar System, with only Mercury having a greater one (0.205). 

686.971 rounds to 687
