If an object is moving with velocity, then the
instantaneous velocity at every moment, the average velocity,
and the constant velocity are all the same.

A23 kg log of wood begins from rest, 300 m up a sluice (a water track used to transport logs, think of it as an inclined plane with negligible friction) inclined at 20° to the horizontal. after it reaches the flat waterway at the bottom it collides elastically with a 100 kg block of wood initially at rest near the base of the incline. (a) how long does it take the 23 kg log to travel down the incline? (b) what is the speed of the 23 kg log at the bottom of the incline? (c) what are the velocities of both blocks of wood after the collision? (d) what is the total kinetic energy before the collision? (e) what is the kinetic energy of the 23 kg log after the collision? (f) what is the kinetic energy of the 100 kg block of wood after the collision? (g) what is the total kinetic energy after the collision? (h) compare the total initial and total final kinetic energies. is this consistent with what you would expect for elastic collisions? explain!

At very high pressures, gases become and will eventually a) more dense; become hotter b) more dense; change to a liquid or solid c) less dense; combust d) less dense; turn into a liquid

Consider a system with two masses that are moving away from each other. why will the kinetic energy differ if the frame of reference is a stationary observer or one of the masses?
