1) push down on the end of the lever, and 2) 3/4 of the way from the fulcrum
Answer:
Explanation:
Initial kinetic energy of the system = 1/2 mA v0²
If Vf be the final velocity of both the carts
applying conservation of momentum
final velocity
Vf = mAvo / ( mA +mB)
kinetic energy ( final ) = 1/2 (mA +mB)mA²vo² / ( mA +mB)²
= mA²vo² / 2( mA +mB)
Given 1/2 mA v0² / mA²vo² / 2( mA +mB) = 6
mA v0² x ( mA +mB) / mA²vo² = 6
( mA +mB) / mA = 6
mA + mB = 6 mA
5 mA = mB
mB / mA = 5 .
