Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

as we know that




now from above equation we have



so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s
Correct answer choice is:
D. A frequency higher than the original frequency.
Explanation:
This is a true case of Doppler's effect. The Doppler effect can be defined as the effect originated by a traveling source of waves in which there is a visible higher variation in pulse for observers towards what the source is progressing and a visible descending shift in rate for observers from what the source is dropping.
Q 24: Newton's first law of motion states that anything that stands still will stay still unless unbalanced force is acted upon that object. Newton's second law of motion states that the velocity of an object changes when subjected to external Force. Newton's third law of motion says that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. when bumper cars crash into each other one car goes one way and the other goes the other way.
Q 25: if the bumper cars doubled their Mass the motion would be halfed but if the net force is doubled the motion will double.
