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 .

A ball thrown by Ginger is moving upward through the air. Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. Diagram B shows a box wit
vichka [17]

As the ball is moving in air as well as we have to neglect the friction force on it

So we can say that ball is having only one force on it that is gravitational force

So the force on the ball must have to be represented by gravitational force and that must be vertically downwards

So the correct FBD will contain only one force and that force must be vertically downwards

So here correct answer must be

<em>Diagram A shows a box with a downward arrow. </em>

An object is five focal lengths from a concave mirror.how do the object and image heights compare?
enot [183]

An object distance is presented as s = 5f and we know that the mirror equation relates the image distance to the object distance and the focal length.

The mirror equation is 1/f = 1/s + 1/s’ where the variable f stands for the focal length of the mirror. Variable (s) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the object and the variable <span>(s’) represents the distance between the mirror surface and the image. </span>

In addition, a concave mirror will have a positive focal length (f) and a convex mirror will have a negative focal length (f).

Now, we then have 1/f = 1/5f + 1/s’ which is s’ = 5f/4

Then we get the magnification ratio that expresses the size or amount of magnification or reduction of the object or image and to get the magnification, we use this equation: M= s’/s

M= 5f/4x5f

s’ = 1/4s

Therefore, the image height is one fourth of the object height

Calculate the amount of heat (kcal) released when 50.0g of steam at 100*c hits the skin, condenses, and cools to a body temperat
luda_lava [24]
As the steam touches the skin, it undergoes a phase change and releases latent heat due to the phase change. As it reaches equilibrium, it releases sensible heat. We calculate as follows:

Q = latent heat + sensible Heat
Q = 2.26 kJ / g (50.0 g) + 50.0 g ( 4.18 J / g C) (37 C - 100 C) ( 1 kJ / 1000 J)
Q = 99.833 kJ
