A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes. A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals whereas a rock may also include organic remains and mineraloids. some rocks are predominantly composed of just mineral

A mineral is a naturally occurring, inorganic solid with a definite chemical composition and a crystalline structure formed by geological processes.

A rock is an aggregate of one or more minerals. It may also contain organic remains and mineraloids apart from regular mineral formations. Since rocks vary in their mineral and chemical composition, they are classified according to the process of their formation.

A small, 300 g cart is moving at 1.20 m/s on an air track when it collides with a larger, 2.00 kg cart at rest?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

The speed of the large cart after collision is 0.301 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of the cart, $m_1 = 300\ g = 0.3\ kg$

Initial speed of the cart, $u_1=1.2\ m/s$

Mass of the larger cart, $m_2 = 2\ kg$

Initial speed of the larger cart, $u_2=0$

After the collision,

Final speed of the smaller cart, $v_1=-0.81\ m/s$ (as its recolis)

To find,

The speed of the large cart after collision.

Solution,

Let $v_2$ is the speed of the large cart after collision. It can be calculated using conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2$

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1=m_2v_2$

$v_2=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1}{m_2}$

$v_2=\dfrac{0.3\times 1.2+0-0.3\times (-0.81)}{2}$

$v_2=0.301\ m/s$

So, the speed of the large cart after collision is 0.301 m/s.

Suppose you look at the huge clock on the Big Ben Tower in London and it reads 12 noon. If you could travel away from the clock

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Option C. be frozen at 12 noon

Explanation:

This can be explained by the special theory of relativity according to which at greater speeds time slows down and length contracts in the direction of motion.

Also if a body travels at the speed of light time will stop and the body will will reduce to zero length.

Therefore, for the given case time will freeze at 12 noon.

Define "increased productivity" in terms of the number of tasks and the amount of time.

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

The greater the amount of output for a given unit of input, the higher the overall productivity. Businesses generally aim to improve productivity over time to maintain competitiveness and increase the business's profitability. Individuals are familiar with the idea of productivity in their own lives.
