A 1,600 kg train car rolling freely on level track at 16 m/s bumps into a 1.0 × 103 kg train car moving at 10.0 m/s in the same

direction, and the two latch onto each other and continue together. What is their final speed?
A.) 16 m/s
B.) 6.0 m/s
C.) 10 m/s
D.) 14 m/s

This item is solved through the concept of the conservation of momentum which states that the momentum before and after collision should be equal. 
                                   momentum = mass x velocity
            (1,600 kg)(16 m/s) + (1.0x10^3 kg)(10 m/s) = (1600 + 1000 kg)(x)
The value of x is 13.69 m/s. Thus, their final speed is approximately letter D. 14 m/s.

Describe the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. What is its period and the frequency? Round to the
shutvik [7]

Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .

<u>Explanation:</u>

We have , the motion of a swing that requires 6 seconds to complete one cycle. Period is the amount of time needed to complete one oscillation . And in question it's given that 6 seconds is needed to complete one cycle. Hence ,Period of the motion of a swing is 6 seconds . Frequency is the number of vibrations produced per second and is calculated with the formula of  \frac{1}{t} . SI unit of frequency is Hertz or Hz. We know that time period is 6 seconds so frequency =   \frac{1}{t}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{time}

⇒ frequency = \frac{1}{6}

⇒ frequency = 0.167Hz

Therefore , Period = 6 seconds and frequency = 0.167Hz .

What is the Scientific definition of friction?
seropon [69]
Friction<span> is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
Hope this is of great help to you, and happy studying~!

Plates move apart at ____ boundaries.
Keith_Richards [23]
<span>The correct answer is C. divergent. Divergent boundaries are something like lines found between two tectonic plates. These constructive boundaries, or extensional boundaries, are formed and exist between two tectonic plates that move away from each other. Convergent would thus be where they meet. This is all according to the tectonic theory.</span>

You weigh 716 newtons on Earth. You
Otrada [13]

Answer:

537 N

Explanation:

The force due to gravity of a planet is:

F = GMm / r²

where G is the universal gravitational constant

M is the mass of the planet

m is the mass of the object

and r is the distance between the object and the center of the planet

On Earth, you weigh 716 N, so:

716 N = GMm / r²

On planet X:

F = G (3M) m / (2r)²

F = 3/4 GMm / r²

F = 3/4 (716 N)

F = 537 N
