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

E asteroid belt circles the sun between the orbits of mars and jupiter. one asteroid has a period of 6.0 earth years. part a wha
anzhelika [568]

To solve the problem, use Kepler's 3rd law : 

T² = 4π²r³ / GM 

Solved for r : 

r = [GMT² / 4π²]⅓ 

but first covert 6.00 years to seconds : 

6.00years = 6.00years(365days/year)(24.0hours/day)(6... 
= 1.89 x 10^8s 

The radius of the orbit then is : 

r = [(6.67 x 10^-11N∙m²/kg²)(1.99 x 10^30kg)(1.89 x 10^8s)² / 4π²]⅓ 
= 6.23 x 10^11m

Suppose a radio signal (light) travels from Earth and through space at a speed of 3 × 10^8/ (this is the speed of light in vacuu
zlopas [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

we know that

s=vt here v is the speed and s is distance covered by the signals

given data

v=3*10^8

t=10 min we have to convert it into seconds

1 minute=60 seconds

so

10 minutes =10*60/1 =600 seconds

now putting the value of v and t we can find the value of s

s=vt

s=3*10^8*600

s=1.8*10^11m

i hope this will help you

Si usted trata de contrabandear lingotes de oro llenando su mochila, cuyas dimensiones son de 56 cm * 28 cm * 22 cm, ¿cuál sería
kati45 [8]

Answer:

Mass, m = 665.77 kg

Explanation:

The question says that "If you try to smuggle gold bars by filling your backpack, whose dimensions are 56 cm * 28 cm * 22 cm, what would be its mass? "

The dimension of gold bar is 56 cm×28 cm×22 cm

We know that the density of gold is 19.3 g/cm³

The mas per unit volume of a material is called its density. It can be given by :

d=\dfrac{m}{V}\\\\m=d\times V\\\\m=(19.3\ g/cm^3)\times (56\times 28\times 22\ cm^3)\\\\m=665772.8\ g\\\\m=665.77\ kg

So, the mass of the gold bar is 665.77 kg.

Leona [35]

Answer:  the answer is D.Heat from the engine under the hood transfered to the snow, melting it.

Explanation:  Heat always transfers from warmer objects to cooler objects. For example, if snow is on the hood of your car, as the engine warms up, heat will be transfered from the engine to the snow, melting the snow and cooling the engine.
