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?
a. 2
b. 1.5
c. 2.5
d. 1.25
e. 3

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart m_1=6 kg

mass of second cart m_2=3 kg

velocity of first cart v_1=3 m/s

conserving momentum

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v

6\times 3+3\times 0=(9)\cdot v

v=2 m/s

Initial kinetic Energy K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2

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

K.E._1=27 J

Final Kinetic Energy

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

K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(6+3)\cdot 2^2=18 J

Ratio of initial Kinetic Energy to the Final Kinetic Energy

=\frac{27}{18}=1.5

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming
Otrada [13]

Answer:

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. 

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2
