The only thing that definitely happens in every such case is:
The container becomes heavier.
Answer:
a) 
b) The second runner will win
c) d = 10.54m
Explanation:
For part (a):

For part (b) we will calculate the amount of time that takes both runners to cross the finish line:


Since it takes less time to the second runner to cross the finish line, we can say the she won the race.
For part (c), we know how much time it takes the second runner to win, so we just need the position of the first runner in that moment:
X1 = V1*t2 = 239.46m Since the finish line was 250m away:
d = 250m - 239.46m = 10.54m
Answer:
<em>Force of gravity may not affect a pendulum during its equilibrium state</em>. But the gravity can affect the pendulum when a force occurs in any direction of the bob connected to the cord that makes a swing sideways. The gravity of pendulum never stops, it always accelerates. So the gravity affects the pendulum acceleration and speed.
<em>Similarly the tension in the cord will not affect the pendulum</em><em> </em>but if change in the length of the pendulum while keeping other factors constant changes the length of the period of pendulum. longer pendulum swings with lower frequency than shorter pendulums.
Answer:
The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.
Explanation:
This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.
The formula to apply is :

where ;

Given in the question that;

Apply the formula as;

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}
263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f
305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f
305775-87900 = 3825v₂f
217875=3825v₂f
217875/3825 =v₂f
56.96 = v₂f
<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>
I truly believe so, that’s a definite yes
