Option(a) the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.
The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is correct about the mass of cart 2.
Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:
Let,
m1=mass of cart 1
m2=mass of cart 2
v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision
v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision
v' = velocity of the carts after collision
Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:
m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'
v2 = 0 because it is stationary
v' = 1/3*v1
m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)
m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2
1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1
1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1
m2 = 2m1
From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

Answer:
C. 85%
Explanation:
A cylinder fitted with a piston exists in a high-pressure chamber (3 atm) with an initial volume of 1 L. If a sufficient quantity of a hydrocarbon material is combusted inside the cylinder to produce 1 kJ of energy, and if the volume of the chamber then increases to 1.5 L, what percent of the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat?
A. 15%
B. 30%
C. 85%
D. 100%
work done by the system will be
W=PdV
p=pressure
dV=change in volume
3tam will be changed to N/m^2
3*1.01*10^5
W=3.03*10^5*(1.5-1)
convert 0.5L to m^3
5*10^-4
W=3.03*10^5*5*10^-4
W=152J
therefore
to find the percentage used
152/1000*100
15%
100%-15%
85% uf the fuel's energy was lost to friction and heat
The speed of water can be split into vertical and horizontal speed components:
Due to the force of gravity, the y component will be parabolic. The x component will be linear:
To find when the water hits the ground 2.5m away, set y= 0 and x = 2.5
