1) The final velocity of the two trains is 6 m/s to the right
2) It is an inelastic collision
Explanation:
1)
We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two trains must be conserved before and after the collision.
Therefore we can write:
where:
is the mass of the first train
is the initial velocity of the first train
is the mass of the second train
is the initial velocity of the second train (initially at rest)
is the final combined velocity of the two trains
Solving the equation for v, we find the final velocity of the two trains:
2)
There are two types of collisions:
- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy of the system are conserved
- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not (part of it is converted into thermal energy due to internal frictions)
To verify what type of collision is this, we can compare the total kinetic energy before and after the collision:
Before:
After:
As we can see, the kinetic energy is not conserved, so this is an inelastic collision.

Answer:
1.42 s
Explanation:
The equation for free fall of an object starting from rest is generally written as
where
s is the vertical distance covered
a is the acceleration due to gravity
t is the time
On this celestial body, the equation is
this means that
so the acceleration of gravity on the body is
The velocity of an object in free fall starting from rest is given by
In this case,
g = 20.08 m/s^2
So the time taken to reach a velocity of
v = 28.6 m/s
is
