A) His wagon will accelerate more.
B) His wagon will accelerate less. Both parts are answered by F=ma. Mass is inversely proportional to acceleration, and force is directly proportional to acceleration.
Answer:
F1 = K Q1 Q2 / R1^2
F2 = K Q1 / 2 * Q2 / (2 R1)^2
F2 / F1 = 1/2 / 4 = 1/8
The new force is 5N (1/2 due to charge and 1/4 due to distance)
Answer:
No, it is not conserved
Explanation:
Let's calculate the total kinetic energy before the collision and compare it with the total kinetic energy after the collision.
The total kinetic energy before the collision is:

where m1 = m2 = 1 kg are the masses of the two carts, v1=2 m/s is the speed of the first cart, and where v2=0 is the speed of the second cart, which is zero because it is stationary.
After the collision, the two carts stick together with same speed v=1 m/s; their total kinetic energy is

So, we see that the kinetic energy was not conserved, because the initial kinetic energy was 2 J while the final kinetic energy is 1 J. This means that this is an inelastic collision, in which only the total momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy does not violate the law of conservation of energy: in fact, the energy lost has simply been converted into another form of energy, such as heat, during the collision.
a) At a position of 2.0m, the Initial energy is
all made up of the potential energy=m*g*hi<span>
and meanwhile at 1.5 all its energy is also potential energy=m*g*hf
The percentage of energy remaining is E=m*g*hi/m*g*hf x 100
and since mass and gravity are constant so it leaves us with
just E=hi/hf
which 1.5/2.0 x100= 75% so we see that we lost 25% of the
energy or 0.25 in fraction
b) Here use the equation vf^2=vi^2+2gd
<span>where g is gravity, vf is the final velocity and vi is the
initial velocity while d is the distance travelled
so in here we are looking for the vi so let us isolate that
variable
we know that at maximum height or peak, the velocity is 0 so
vf is 0
therefore,</span></span>
vi =sqrt(-2gd) <span>
vi =sqrt(-2x-9.81x1.5) </span>
<span>vi =5.4 m/s
<span>c) The energy was converted to heat due to friction with the
air and the ground.</span></span>
