Answer:
The answer is given below
Explanation:
u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:
a)
The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:
The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:
b) Using the law of conservation of energy:
Answer:
3430000 J
Explanation:
The formula for potential energy is PE=mgh.
M being the mass, g being the force of gravity, and h being the height.
First thing you want to do is convert 250 kg to g (grams).
From there you get 25000g and you have to multiply that by 14m and 9.8m/s^2 (the force of gravity is constant, at least on earth).
Average speed= total distance/total time =12km/h
