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.

-Dominant- [34]
1. Each plot represents the meters traveled by both the Hare and the Tortoise over a certain period of time (minutes).

2. The Tortoise lines show it lines is steadily increasing over a period of time. So as more time elapses the faster the tortoise becomes it travels more meters. The Tortoise line shows steady acceleration.

3. The Hare in the first 5 minutes had a rapid fast advancement up to 40 meters. But for the 5-20 mins. period the Hare did not move at all. Its speed stayed at the same place. But towards the end 20-25 mins. marks the Hare started moving again. At the end the Hare at first had a rapid acceleration but stopped for a long time then it sped up briefly.

A figure skater glides along a circular path of radius 6.70 m. If she coasts around one half of the circle, find the following.
adoni [48]

(a) Her distance from the starting location is 21.05 m.

(b) The length of the path she skated is 21.05 m.

<h3>Distance of the skater from the starting position</h3>

The distance around a complete circular path is calculated as 2πr.

The distance for a half circle is calculated as ¹/₂ x 2πr = πr

Distance from the starting location = π x 6.7 m = 21.05 m

The length of the path she skated is the same as her distance from the starting location = 21.05 m.

A pan of ice is placed over a flame.
AveGali [126]
A. The molecules start packed together very tightly in a solid. Then when it turns to water, the molecules can move around each other freely, but still contained. When water turns to vapor, the molecules are going crazy moving around. They are not contained at all and bounce of of each other freely.

b. The temperature rises. (ice turns to water at 33 degrees and water turns to vapor at 212 degrees)
