Let P1=13m/s(1250kg)=16250 kg m/s  (positive velocity is north here)
      P2=-19m/s(1250kg)=-23750 kg m/s
Total system momentum is P1 + P2 = 16250 - 23750 = -7500 (negative momentum is south pointing).
Due to the conservation of momentum, this is also the final momentum and we see the two cars have a mass of 1250 + 1250 = 2500kg and have a velocity
-7500 = 2500kg * Vfinal
Final = -3m/s (moving southward)
Each car's momentum changes from the initial value it had to this final value, but the total system momentum does not change, due to the conservation law.

Which evidence is lost likely used to indicate the beginning of solar system formation?
deff fn [24]

Explanation :

Our solar system was formed about 4.6 billion years ago. It is formed when gravity exerted low-density cloud of interstellar gas and dust. The massive cloud of gas and dust is called as Orion Nebula.  

In a small area, the overdensity of clouds occurs. This caused the contraction, to begin. Due to this contraction the potential energy gets converted into kinetic energy of individual gas particles.

Hence the correct option is " materials were pulled together by the gravity". This is the one of the evidence used to indicate the beginning of the solar system.

Answer:

T

beacuse:

Energy can be transferred from one object to another by doing work. ... When work is done, energy is transferred from the agent to the object, which results in a change in the object's motion (more specifically, a change in the object's kinetic energy).

Does uranium use steam?
Neko [114]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Reactors use uranium for nuclear fuel. The uranium is processed into small ceramic pellets and stacked together onto sealed metal tubes called fuel rods. The heat created by fission turns the water into steam.
