A46000-$kg$ railroad freight car collides with a stationary caboose car. they couple together, and 16 percent of the initial kinetic energy is dissipated as heat, sound, vibrations, and so on. what is the mass of the caboose?

Question 1 (5 pts): what is the maximum distance for which you can you resolve the two individual headlights of an on-coming truck as two separate lights rather than one if the headlights are separated by 2.00 m and your eye has a diameter of 1.00 centimeter? assume a wavelength of 500 nm.

Aflask with vinegar in it has a mass of 160 grams. a balloon with baking soda in it has a mass of 40 grams. the balloon is attached to the flask to seal the opening and the vinegar and baking soda mixes. the balloon inflates to a large volume. what will the total mass of the balloon and flask be after the balloon inflates? explain. a) less than 200 grams because the solid baking soda disappears. b) 200 grams, because all the atoms remain in the balloon or flask. c) more than 200 grams because the size of the balloon is so much larger. d) less than 200 grams because gases such as the one in the balloon are lighter than solids and liquids.

Two horses begin at rest. after a few seconds, horse a is traveling with a velocity of 10 m/s west, while horse b is traveling with a velocity of 13 m/s west. which horse had a greater acceleration? a. horse a because its change in velocity was greater than horse b's in the same time. b. horse b because its change in velocity was greater than horse a's in the same time. c. horse b because its change in velocity was the same as horse a's, but it took less time. d. both horses had the same acceleration.
