Answer:

Explanation:

According to Newton's third law, every action has an equal and opposite reaction

so it tells us that the force exerted by the earth on the spacecraft is equal to the force exerted by the spacecraft on the earth. But we do not see the earth moving towards the spacecraft because the inertia of the spacecraft is very less than the inertia of the earth.

A cart of mass 6.0 kg moves with a speed of 3.0 m/s towards a second stationary cart with a mass of 3.0 kg. The carts move on a

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:b

Explanation:

Given

mass of first cart $m_1=6 kg$

mass of second cart $m_2=3 kg$

velocity of first cart $v_1=3 m/s$

conserving momentum

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$6\times 3+3\times 0=(9)\cdot v$

$v=2 m/s$

Initial kinetic Energy $K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

$K.E._1=\frac{1}{2}\cdot 6\cdot 3^2+0$

$K.E._1=27 J$

Final Kinetic Energy

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(m_1+m_2)v^2$

$K.E._2=\frac{1}{2}(6+3)\cdot 2^2=18 J$

Ratio of initial Kinetic Energy to the Final Kinetic Energy

$=\frac{27}{18}=1.5$

Natalija [7]

Answer:

c. Only the linear acceleration is zero.

Explanation:

The linear acceleration is defined as the rate of change of linear velocity. Since the bicycle is moving in the same direction, with the same speed, without speeding up or slowing down. Therefore, there will be no change in linear velocity and as a result, linear acceleration will be zero.

The angular acceleration is the rate of change of angular velocity. Since the angular velocity is changing its direction constantly. Therefore, it has a certain component of acceleration at all times called centripetal acceleration.

Therefore, the correct option is:

<u>c. Only the linear acceleration is zero.</u>
