Answer:

4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Explanation:

mass of car M' = 3.34 * 10∧4 kg

energy loss E = 19/100  K

from law of conservation of momentum ,

                 M' V' = ( M' + M'' ) v

                        V = M' V' / ( M' + M'' )

       Initial kinetic energy is K'  = (M' V')² / 2

      final kinetic energy  K" = 81 K' /100

                                             =  (M' V')² 81 / (200)     =   ( M' + M'' ) v²/ 2

            therefore , M' / ( M' + M" ) = 0.81

 mass of caboose is ,  M" = 1.234 M' - M'

                                     M" = .234 M'

                                          = 0,234 ( 3.34 * 10∧4 kg)

                                          = 4.123 * 10∧4 kg

A teacher discusses a scientific theory that has been in place for almost a century. which would present the greatest challenge
Umnica [9.8K]

Answer: The theory might have become Obsolete or Superseded

Explanation:

A theory becomes obsolete or superseded if it becomes inadequate, false or incomplete in how its describes reality. It does not matter if it was once accepted. There are some theories such as Lysenkoism that are currently described as being obsolete because it does not conform to current reality. Another example of a theory that was superseded is the phlogiston theory. It was replaced a different theory of energy.

What is the student's kinetic energy at the bottom of the hill if he is moving
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

Explanation:

The formula for kinetic energy is KE = 1/2 mv^2

Let's apply the formula:

KE = 1/2 mv^2

KE = 1/2 (65kg) (18m/s)^2

KE = 10530 J or 10.53 KJ

A scientist is studying a shock wave from an earthquake. What kind of wave is being studying?
Pavel [41]

Answer:

Longitudinal Mechanical Wave

Explanation:

Mechanical waves are the waves that require medium to propagate. And a longitudinal wave is a wave in which the vibration of the energy(here: mass specifically) is in the direction of propagation of wave.

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.

Shock waves travel faster than sound and their speed increases as the amplitude of the wave is increased but their intensity fades faster due to the fact that some of its energy gets expended in the form of heat due to the resistance of the medium.
