B. cart B

Explanation:

The acceleration of each cart is given by Newton's second law:

F=ma

a=\frac{F}{m}

where F is the force applied, a is the acceleration and m is the cart's mass.

The force F applied is the same for the two carts, however the mass of cart A (mA) is twice than the mass of cart B (mB), so we can rewrite the two accelerations:

a_A = \frac{F}{m_A}=\frac{F}{2 m_B}

a_B = \frac{F}{m_B}

we see that the acceleration of cart B is twice the acceleration of cart A, therefore cart B will move faster and will win the race.

A person pushes a 10 kg box from rest and accelerates it to a speed of 4 m/s with a constant force. If the box is pushed for a t
lutik1710 [3]

The box is accelerated from rest to 4 m/s in a matter of 2.5 s, so its acceleration <em>a</em> is such that

4 m/s = <em>a</em> (2.5 s)   →   <em>a</em> = (4 m/s) / (2.5 s) = 1.6 m/s²

Then the force applied to the box has a magnitude <em>F</em> such that

<em>F</em> = (10 kg) (1.6 m/s²) = 16 N

Each bat can produce different frequencies of ultrasound. Explain why this is useful if there are many bats hunting together.
Crazy boy [7]

Answer: Although low frequency sound travels further than high-frequency sound, calls at higher frequencies give the bats more detailed information--such as size, range, position, speed and direction of a prey's flight. Thus, these sounds are used more often.

Answer:

Molecules speed up

Explanation:

This is caused because of the temperature increasing. The temperature increase is telling us that the thermal energy of the reaction is increasing. When the energy is increased molecules increase their speed, because they have more energy in them

What phase difference between two identical traveling waves, moving in the same direction along a stretched string, results in t
Tom [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the amplitude of individual wave be I and resultant amplitude be 1.703 I . Let the phase difference be Ф in terms of degree

From the formula of resultant vector

(1.703I)² = I² + I² +  2 I² cosФ

2.9 I² = 2I² + 2 I² cosФ

.9I² = 2 I² cosФ

cosФ = .9 / 2

= .45

Ф = 63.25 .
