Answer:

The speed of the boxes are 1 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of box = 1 kg

Mass of another box = 2 kg

Suppose 1 kg box moves with 3 m/s speed.

We need to calculate the speed of the boxes

Using formula of conservation of momentum

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Where, u = initial velocity

v = final velocity

Put the value into the formula

1\times3+2\times0=(1+2)v

v=\dfrac{3}{3}

v=1\ m/s

Hence, The speed of the boxes are 1 m/s.

What kind of change is it when a liquid turns into a gas by boiling????????????????????
elixir [45]
It is called vaporization. Vaporization is the phase transition from a liquid to a gas by means of evaporation or boiling. Evaporation occurs at temps below the boiling point and occurs on the liquids surface. Boiling is a rapid vaporization that occurs above the boiling temp and below or at the liquids surface.

So far, you’ve been working with an "ideal" pulley system. How do you think real pulley systems are different, and how would tha
almond37 [142]

Answer:

In an ideal pulley system is assumed as a perfect system, and the efficiency of the pulley system is taken as 100% such that there are no losses of the energy input to the system through the system's component

However, in a real pulley system, there are several means through which energy is lost from the system through friction, which is converted into heat, sound, as well as other forms of energy

Given that the mechanical advantage = Force output/(Force input), and that the input force is known, the energy loss comes from the output force which is then reduced, and therefore, the Actual Mechanical Advantage (AMA) is less than the Ideal Mechanical Advantage of an "ideal" pulley system

The relationship between the actual and ideal mechanical advantage is given by the efficiency of the pulley system as follows;

Efficiency \, \% = \dfrac{AMA}{IMA}  \times 100
