The drawing shows two boxes resting on frictionless ramps. one box is relatively light and sits on a steep ramp. the other box is heavier and rests on a ramp that is less steep. the boxes are released from rest at a and allowed to slide down the ramps. the two boxes have masses of 8 and 38 kg. if a and b are ha = 4.6 and hb = 1.3 m, respectively, above the ground, determine the speed of (a) the lighter box and (b) the heavier box when each reaches b. (c) what is the ratio of the kinetic energy of the heavier box to that of the lighter box at b?

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.
