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 small rubber ball is launched by a compressed-air cannon from ground level with an initial speed of 17.3 m/s directly upward.
elena-s [515]

Answer:

h=15.27m

Explanation:

Since at maximum height the vertical velocity must be null it's better to use the formula:

v_f^2=v_i^2+2ad

We will use this formula for the vertical direction, choosing the upward direction as the positive one, so we have:

0=v_i^2+2ah

or

h=-\frac{v_i^2}{2a}

which for our values is:

h=-\frac{(17.3m/s)^2}{2(-9.8m/s^2)}=15.27m

On the modern periodic table, elements are ordered according to what?
sweet [91]

The periodic table of elements arranges all of the known chemical elements in an informative array. Elements are arranged from left to right and top to bottom in order of increasing atomic number. Order generally coincides with increasing atomic mass. The rows are called periods.

1. A sprinter races in the 100 meter dash. It takes him 10 second to reach the finish line
poizon [28]

Answer:

v = 10 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a sprinter, d = 100 m

Time taken by him to reach the finish line, t = 10 s

We need to find his average velocity. We know that velocity is equal to the distance covered divided by time taken. So,

v = d/t

v=\dfrac{100\ m}{10\ s}\\\\v=10\ m/s

Hence, his average velocity is 10 m/s.

The weight of an astronaut plus his space suit on the Moon is only 250 N. (a) How much does the suited astronaut weigh on Earth?
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

a)1500N

b)153.06kg

Explanation:

F = ma

g(moon) = is the acceleration due to gravity on the moon

g(earth) is the acceleration due to gravity on the earth

g(moon) = 1/6g(earth)

g(earth) =6g(moon)

F(gearth) = mg(earth)

               = m 6g(moon)

               = 6 × 250

               = 1500N

b) F(gearth) = mg(earth)

m = F /g

 = 1500/9.8

 = 153.06kg
