Answer:

4:1

Explanation:

Given that the initial speed of the first car, u = 2v while the initial speed of the second car, u = v. To find the distance travelled, we are going to apply one of the equations of motion. The equation chosen is

v² = u² - 2as, where

s = the distance needed

a = acceleration due to gravity

u = initial velocity which is v & 2v

v = final velocity which is 0

For the first car with initial velocity, 2v, on substituting into the equation, we have

v² = u² - 2as(1)

0 = 4v - 2as(1)

4v = 2as(1)

2v = as(1), making s(1) subject of formula we have

s(1) = 2v/a

Taking the second car, we have u = v

v² = u² - 2as(2)

0 = v - 2as(2)

v = 2as(2), making s(2) subject of formula, we have

s(2) = v/2a

Not, ratio of s1 : s2 =

2v/a : v/2a

s1/s2 = 2v/a ÷ v/2a

s1/s2 = 2v/a * 2a/v

s1/s2 = 4av/av

s1/s2 = 4/1

Therefore, the ratio of the first car to the second car is 4:1

Statement that combines energy and mass into one law
inysia [295]

Answer:

The law of conservation of mass or principle of mass conservation

Explanation:

It states that for any system closed to all transfers of matter and energy, the mass of the system must remain constant over time, as the system's mass cannot change, so quantity can neither be added nor be removed.
