The first one is actually Newton's First Law of Motion. 

Newton's First Law of Motion is commonly stated as "an object in motion will remain in motion unless acted upon by an outside force." This sled is moving across the ice at the same constant speed and velocity meaning it will won't stop unless an outside force acts upon it. An example being someone coming and grabbing the sled or maybe the sled slips off of the ice and finds itself stuck in a pile of snow. Similarly, if the sled was not moving, it would not move unless acted upon again by an outside force. 

You believed it to be Newton's Third Law, but for future reference, his third law is more about every action having an equal opposite reaction. This wouldn't explain what is currently happening with the sled. A helpful tip into figuring out where to start in figuring out the answer I got is in the example you gave it literally states "with a constant velocity" which also ends up being in the description of Newton's First Law. Though, don't rely on that because the answer could have had a made up definition.

Unfortunately, I do not know the answer to your other question. I apologize. Hope this helped.

Let’s say I am in a bumper car and have a velocity of 14 m/s, driving in the positive x-direction. I and my bumped car have a ma
AlekseyPX

Answer:

160 kg

12 m/s

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 120 kg

m_2 = Mass of second car

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 14 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = 0 m/s

v_1 = Final Velocity of first car = -2 m/s

v_2 = Final Velocity of second car

For perfectly elastic collision

m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}=m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=m_{1}u_{1}+m_{2}u_{2}-m_{1}v_{1}\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=120\times 14+m_2\times 0-(120\times -2)\\\Rightarrow m_2v_2=1920\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}

Applying in the next equation

v_2=\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_{1}+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{2\times 120}{120+\frac{1920}{v_2}}\times 14+\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2}\times 0\\\Rightarrow \left(120+\frac{1920}{v_2}\right)v_2=3360\\\Rightarrow 120v_2+1920=3360\\\Rightarrow v_2=\frac{3360-1920}{120}\\\Rightarrow v_2=12\ m/s

m_2=\frac{1920}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow m_2=\frac{1920}{12}\\\Rightarrow m_2=160\ kg

Mass of second car = 160 kg

Velocity of second car = 12 m/s

Gravity on earth is 9.8 m/s squared, and gravity on the moon is 1.6 m/s squared. So if the mass of an object on earth is 40 kilo
garik1379 [7]

The mass of an object on Earth is the same as its mass on the Moon. The weight is different.

Weight = m * g

Weight ( Moon ) = 40 kg * 1.6 m/s² = 64 N

If the mass of an object on Earth is 40 kg, its mass on the Moon is 40 kg and its weight on the Moon is 64 N.

What figure represents a longitudinal figure
OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

The wavelength can always be determined by measuring the distance between any two corresponding points on adjacent waves. In the case of a longitudinal wave, a wavelength measurement is made by measuring the distance from a compression to the next compression or from a rarefaction to the next rarefaction.

Which is the best definition of a parallel
Oksanka [162]

A parallel circuit exists when an electric charge flows in more than one path best describes it.

<h3>What is a Parallel circuit?</h3>

This type of circuit has branches in which the current divides and only part of it flows through any of the branch.

Parallel circuit having more than one branch therefore means that electric charge will flow in more than one path thereby making option A the most appropriate choice.
