Answer:

correct answer is (c) 15 J

Explanation:

given data

mass m1 = 2 kg

velocity V1 = 5 m/s

mass other  = 3 kg

so mass m2 = 2+ 3 kg = 5 kg

solution

we will apply here conservation of momentum:

m1V1 = m2V2  ..........................1

put here value and we get  velocity v2

(2.0) × (5.0) = (2.0 + 3.0) × V

solve it we get

10 = 5 × V 2

V2 = 2.0 m/s

so here kinetic energy will be

KE = ½ × m × v²

so

∆KE = ½ × m1 × (v1)²  -  ½  × m2 × (v2) ²

∆KE = 0.5 × 2 × 25 - 0.5 × 5 × 4

 ∆KE = 25 - 10

∆KE  = 15 J

A 320 g air track cart traveling at 1.25 m/s collides with a stationary 270 g cart. What is the speed of the 270 g cart after th
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

The speed of the 270g cart after the collision is 0.68m/s

Explanation:

Mass of air track cart (m1) = 320g

Initial velocity (u1) = 1.25m/s

Mass of stationary cart (m2) = 270g

Velocity after collision (V) = m1u1/(m1+m2) = 320×1.25/(320+270) = 400/590 = 0.68m/s

How does the value of the electrostatic force vary with the distance between them?
MariettaO [177]
The size of the force varies inversely as the square of the distance between the two charges. Therefore, if the distance between the two charges is doubled, the attraction or repulsion becomes weaker, decreasing to one-fourth of the original value.

Multiple Choice
Digiron [165]

Answer:

What was not required by the Massachusetts Education law of 1642 is;

Children were to be sent to designated schoolmaster for their learning

Explanation:

The Law of 1642 required that parents and master see to it that their children knew the principles of religion and the capital laws of the commonwealth.

The important aspects of the 1642 Law includes;

1) The responsibility for the basic education and literacy of a child are those of the parents and masters of child apprentices

2) Reading and writing competency of all children and servants are a requirement

3) It is the duty of the government, where a parent or master are unable to meet their tutoring responsibility, to see that a child is placed where the basic educational requirement will be met.

The role of a schoolmaster or the setting of a formal school were yet to be formed as at that time.

Fan can accelerate from the starting blocks to running 11m/s down the track in 5 seconds. What is her acceleration?
Firdavs [7]
To answer this question we subtract the initial velocity from her final velocity. On the starting blocks the initial velocity was 0 m/s. Her final velocity was 11 m/s.t = 11m/s - 0 m/s, so the change in velocity is 11m/s. Time was 5 seconds.Plug it into the formula: 11 m/s ÷ 5 s= 2.2 m/s<span>2</span>
