Answer:

The correct option is: B that is 1/2 K

Explanation:

Given:

Two carts of different masses, same force were applied for same duration of time.

Mass of the lighter cart = m

Mass of the heavier cart = 2m

We have to find the relationship between their kinetic energy:

Let the KE of cart having mass m be "K".

and KE of cart having mass m be "K1".

As it is given regarding Force and time so we have to bring in picture the concept of momentum Δp and find a relation with KE.

Numerical analysis.

⇒ KE =  \frac{mv^2}{2}

⇒ KE =  \frac{mv^2}{2}\times \frac{m}{m}

⇒ KE =  \frac{m^2v^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}

⇒ KE =  \frac{(mv)^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}

⇒ KE =  \frac{(\triangle p)^2}{2}\times \frac{1}{m}

⇒ KE =  \frac{(\triangle p)^2}{2m}=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2m}

Now,

Kinetic energies and their ratios in terms of momentum or impulse.

KE (K) of mass m.

⇒ K=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2m}           ...equation (i)

KE (K1) of mass 2m.

⇒ K_1=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{2\times 2m}

⇒ K_1=\frac{(F\times t)^2}{4m}         ...equation (ii)

Lets divide K1 and K to find the relationship between the two carts's KE.

⇒ \frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{(F\times t)^2}{4m} \times \frac{2m}{(F\times t)^2}

⇒ \frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{2m}{4m}

⇒ \frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{2}{4}

⇒ \frac{K_1}{K} =\frac{1}{2}

⇒ K_1=\frac{K}{2}

⇒ K_1=\frac{1}{2}K

The kinetic energy of the heavy cart after the push compared to the kinetic energy of the light cart is 1/2 K.

PNEWTON<br> What is the ist law of motion?
Degger [83]

Answer:

Newton's First Law states that an object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless acted upon by an external force. It may be seen as a statement about inertia, that objects will remain in their state of motion unless a force acts to change the motion.

What unita are used to measure electrical current​
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

It's called an ampere!

Explanation:

The SI unit of electric current is the ampere, which is the flow of electric charge across a surface at the rate of one coulomb per second. The ampere (symbol: A) is an SI base unit Electric current is measured using a device called an ammeter.

Hope this helps :)

A platinum ball weighing 100 g is removed from a furnace and dropped into 400 g of water at 0 degree C. If the equilibrium tempe
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

T = 1010 degree Celsius

Explanation:

mass of ball (Mb) = 100 g

mass of water (Mw) = 400 g

temp of water = 0 degree

specific heat of platinum (C) = 0.04 cal/g degree celsius

we can calculate the temperature of the furnace from the equation before

Mb x C x (temp of furnace (T) - equilibrium temp) = Mw x (equilibrium temp - temp of furnace)

100 x 0.04 x ( T - 10) = 400 x (10 - 0)

4 (T - 10) = 4000

T - 10 = 1000

T = 1010 degree Celsius
