Moving particle of mass m makes a perfectly elastic collision with a second particle of mass M, initially at rest. Find the ratio of M/m for which the kinetic energy transferred to the particle of mass M is
maximum.

Modern physics a photon emitted from an excited hydrogen atom has an energy of 3.02 electron volts. which electron energy-level transition would produce this photon? a. n=1 to n=6 b. n=2 to n=6 c. n=6 to n=1 d. n=6 to n=2 i chose b but the correct answer is d can someone tell me why? and what's the difference?

Mutt and jeff are running along a path each pushing a cart loaded with rocks. if mutt's wagon has a mass two times greater than jeff's and they want to stay together, arriving at their destination at the same time, what must happen? a) jeff should slow down so mutt can catch up. b) mutt must use half as much force to push his cart. c) mutt must use twice as much force to push his cart. d) mutt and jeff will use the same force, but mutt will take bigger steps.
