Answer:

one half as large , initial velocity is two times larger

Explanation:

Momentum is conserved.

p₁ + p₂ = p₁' + p₂'

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'

m₁ = m₂ =m , v₂= 0

v₁' =v₂'

mv₁ = 2mv₁'

v₁ = 2v₁'

Which rope would have the longest wavelength-one with a frequency of 2 hz or one with a frequency of 3 hz?
Elis [28]
The frequency f is related to the wavelength \lambda by the equation
\lambda =  \frac{v}{f}
where v is the speed of the wave in the rope.

We can see from the formula that, if v is kept constant, smaller frequency means larger wavelength. So, the rope with frequency 2 Hz will have the longest wavelength.

Please please answer this! explain the kinetic molecular theory ( i don't understand how they explain it in my lesson so if some
Bess [88]

Answer:

Explanation:

Basically, Kinetic Molecular Theory says that gas particles are in constant motion and that they show perfectly elastic collisions.

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision.

So the kinetic molecular theory says that gas particles stay moving constantly and don't lose energy when they run into each other.

Why is gasoline so flammable
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]
Flammable and combustible liquids themselves do not burn. It is the mixture of their vapours and air that burns. Gasoline, with a flashpoint of -40°C (-40°F), is a flammable liquid. Even at temperatures as low as -40°C (-40°F), it gives off enough vapour to form a burnable mixture in air.
