Two objects moving with a speed v travel in opposite directions in a straight line. The objects stick together when they collide, and move with a speed of v/2 after the collision. Required:
a. What is the ratio of the final kinetic energy of the system to the initial kinetic energy?
b. What is the ratio of the mass of the more massive object to the mass of the less massive object?

From center station, a train departs every 30 minutes on the fast line and a train departs every 50 minutes on the state line. if two trains depart from center station at 8: 00 a. m., one on each of the two lines, what is the next time that two trains, one on each line, will depart at the same time?

Researchers determine that the biodiversity in a woodland region is declining. they identify two major threats to the region's biodiversity, a method to address each threat, and the expected outcome of each method. this information is shown in the table. a) reforestation would not benefit many species because most forest species live on the ground. b) reforestation would take the longest time to be effective because trees take several years to grow. c) biological augmentation would benefit only a few species because is is typically not very effective. d) biological augmentation would take less time to ve effective because it targets the majority of prey species.
