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 .

Answer:

The answer is not B or D because they need light co2 and water to make their food so B and D are out. and unless someone is walking during winter to feed it. It will not be A so the answer is C.

A spring stretches by 0.0208 m when a 3.39-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring
sashaice [31]

Answer:

COMPLETE QUESTION

A spring stretches by 0.018 m when a 2.8-kg object is suspended from its end. How much mass should be attached to this spring so that its frequency of vibration is f = 3.0 Hz?

Explanation:

Given that,

Extension of spring

x = 0.0208m

Mass attached m = 3.39kg

Additional mass to have a frequency f

Let the additional mass be m

Using Hooke's law

F= kx

Where F = W = mg = 3.39 ×9.81

F = 33.26N

Then,

F = kx

k = F/x

k = 33.26/0.0208

k = 1598.84 N/m

The frequency is given as

f = ½π√k/m

Make m subject of formula

f² = ¼π² •(k/m

4π²f² = k/m

Then, m4π²f² = k

So, m = k/(4π²f²)

So, this is the general formula,

Then let use the frequency above

f = 3Hz

m = 1598.84/(4×π²×3²)

m = 4.5 kg

Giving brainly, please help
brilliants [131]

Answer:

when the mug is heated thus its temperature rises increasing the kinetic energy of the molecules , the oscillations around the rest position in the mug(solid) increases which increase the spaces between molecules and the mug expands. what cause the cracking is that outside of the mug expands before the inside and the mug cracks

A bat moving at 3.7 m/s is chasing a ying insect. The bat emits a 36 kHz chirp and receives back an echo at 36.79 kHz. At what s
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

Explanation:

Given;

speed of the bat, v₀ = 3.7 m/s

frequency of the bat, F₀ = 36 kHz

frequency of the source, Fs = 36.79

This is relative motion between a source of the sound and the observer.  The phenomenon is known as Doppler effect.

Apply the following equation to determine the speed of the insect which is the source;

F_0 = F_s[\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{F_0}{F_s} = [\frac{v+v_0}{v-v_s} ]\\\\\frac{36.79}{36} = \frac{340+3.7}{340-v_s}\\\\1.0219 = \frac{343.7}{340-v_s}\\\\  340-v_s = \frac{343.7}{1.0219}\\\\340-v_s = 336.33\\\\v_s = 340-336.33\\\\v_s = 3.67 \ m/s

The speed the bat is gaining on its prey = 3.7m/s - 3.67m/s = 0.03 m/s

Therefore, the speed the bat is gaining on its prey is 0.03m/s

aivan3 [116]
<span>A van is traveling on a road at a speed of 55 km/h relative to a
stationary observer on the side of the road. A girl sitting near the
driver of the van throws a paper airplane to a boy at the back of the
van with a speed of 2 km/h relative to the girl, the boy, and the van.

The speed of the paper airplane, relative to the same stationary observer
on the side of the road, is (55 - 2) = 53 km/h.  No rounding is necessary.</span>
