Answer:

c. both have same energy

Explanation:

The complete question is

suppose you have two cans, one with milk, and the other with refried beans. The cans have essentially the same size, shape, and mass. If you release both cans at the same time, on a downhill ramp, which can has more energy at the bottom of the ramp? ignore friction and air resistance..

a. can with beans

b. can with milk

c. both have same energy

please explain your answer

Since both cans have the same size, shape, and mass, and they are released at the same height above the ramp, they'll possess the same amount of mechanical energy. This is because their mechanical energy, which is the combination of their potential and kinetic energy are both dependent on their mass. Also, having the same physical quantities like their size and shape means that they will experience the same environmental or physical factors, which will be balanced for both.

Write a explanation explaining why red is a beautiful color is not a hypothesis

PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Please find the explanation below

Explanation:

A hypothesis in science is a testable explanation that is yet to be tested via experimentation. It is a predictive statement or suggested solution to an observation. A hypothesis aims at finding a possible explanation/answer to a question, which is subject to testing. One important aspect of formulating a hypothesis is that it tends to connect the independent variable with the dependent/measurable variable.

The statement "RED IS A BEAUTIFUL COLOR" cannot be considered a hypothesis because it does not aim to answer a question that can undergo experimental testing. This statement can not be measured via experimentation. The statement is not a possible answer to a question but rather a personal opinion about something.

A 2.5-kg ball and a 5.0-kg ball have an elastic collision. Before the collision, the 2.5-kg ball was at rest and the other ball

lesantik [10]

The kinetic energy of 2.5 kg ball after collision is 27.09 J.

Answer:

Explanation:

In elastic collision, the sum of momentum of the objects before collision will be equal to the sum of momentum of the objects after collision.

We know that momentum is the product of mass and velocity acting on any object.

So, the conservation of energy in elastic collision leads to following equation:

$M_{1} u_{1} +M_{2} u_{2}=M_{1} v_{1}+M_{2} v_{2}$
