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

Breathing on a cold window can cause it to fog up. which change of state causes this
Dominik [7]
When you breathe on a cold window and it fogs up, that change of state is called: Condensation.

Condensation is: The process in which molecules of a gas slow down, come together, and form a liquid water that collects as droplets on a cold surface when humid air is in contact with it.

I know this because I learned it in science class in school.

Hope I helped!

What is the greatest distance an image can be located behind a convex spherical mirror?
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

Maximum distance of image from mirror is equal to focal length of the mirror

Explanation:

As we know by the equation of mirror we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

here we know for convex mirror

object position is always negative as it will be placed behind the mirror always

while the focal length of the convex mirror is always taken positive

So here we have

\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{-d_o} = \frac{1}{f}

\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{d_o} + \frac{1}{f}

so here maximum value of image distance is equal to focal length of the mirror

The time taken for an object to fall from a height of h m from the earth'fs surface is t s.
telo118 [61]

Answer:

B. Longer than t s,

Explanation:

Gravitational accln on earth is 9.8 m/s^2,

and one you provided as on moon is 1.6 m/s^2

that mean on moon gr. accl. is lesser!

now the time taken on earth will be lesser cuz from the same height if you drop the object from rest!

since accln on earth is higher,the object will attain higher velocity as compare to that of on moon!

What are some characteristics of soil? ​
Anarel [89]

Soils are composed of organic matter (stuff that used to be alive, like plants and animals) and small inorganic matter. There are three basic soil types: sand, silt, and clay. Sand is comprised of tiny rock fragments and is the roughest in texture. Clay becomes sticky or greasy when wet, and very hard when dry.
