Answer with Explanation:

One hypothesis above would probably rely on the situation called <em>"inelastic collision." </em>The two carts are travelling towards each other at different speed. So, this means that once they collide, the kinetic energy will not be conserved but will be transferred as <em>sound energy, thermal energy or material deformation</em>. The impact will be great, thus a <u>greater fraction of kinetic energy will be lost from the system.</u>

How do you think car makers can design cars to limit cell phone distractions?
Dafna11 [192]

I have two (2) brilliant ideas:

1). Inside the metal that the body of the car is made of, and also between the two sheets of glass that the windows are made of, install a thin layer of material that absorbs RF (radio-wave) energy . . . like the material in the glass window of your microwave oven.  Then, no radio waves from the cellular base station can get INTO the car, and no radio waves from your phone can get OUT of the car.  The phone can't make a connection to the cellular network, you can't make or receive calls, and you can't connect to Instagram or Brainly, so you might as well just turn it off and save your battery until next time you're outside your car.

2). Somewhere inside the car, like under the dash or in the glove box, install a teeny tiny radio receiver that can recognize the signals coming OUT of your phone.  Connect it to the car's electrical system so that when it hears signals from phones inside the car, it it shuts down the car's motor so you can't start or drive. The car only works when phones inside the car are either turned off or in Airplane Mode.

My ideas are so brilliant that I really should patent them, or copyright them, or whatever you do so that other people have to pay you to use your idea. But if you want to use them, that's OK.  Just go ahead. I won't mind.

Good evening everyone, State the law of conservation of energy .Thank u​

A student is trying to determine the acceleration of a feather as she drops it to the ground. if the student is looking to achie
Anna [14]

The coordinate system should have the origin at the point where the feather is dropped and the downward direction is to be taken as positive.

All falling bodies experience acceleration towards the center of the Earth due to the force of gravitational attraction exerted on the object by the Earth. A feather, when dropped experiences an acceleration in the downward direction. Since the acceleration of the feather is in the downward direction, a feather, when dropped with zero initial velocity, has its velocity vector directed in the direction of its acceleration.

If the downward direction is taken as positive, the falling feather can be said to have a positive velocity and a positive acceleration.

A coin mass 0.005 kg is dropped from a height of 3 m. How much mechanical energy does it have right before it hits the ground ?
lesya692 [45]
Mechanical energy equals the sum of potential and kinetic energy. During the process, all PE converts into KE, assuming air resistance is neglected. So, the mechanical energy does not change and is equal to the initial potential energy.
ME
=mgh
=0.005 x 9.81 x 3
=0.147J
