6 m/s

This type of collision is a <u>Inelastic collision </u>

Explanation:

We begin by finding the momentum of the initial train car;

Remember that momentum is given by the formulae mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)

Therefore;

Momentum = 6000 * 10

= 60,000 kg⋅m/s

The other car has zero momentum because;

4000 * 0

= 0

When the two train cars collide, the total momentum will be;

60,000 + 0 = 60,000

Therefore to find the velocity, well use the same formulae;

p = mv  whereby;

p – momentum

m – mass

v – velocity

60,000 = (6000 + 4000) * v

v = 60,000 / 10,000

v = 6

= 6 m/s

This is an elastic collision because we are assuming that no energy is lost in the collision. Most collisions, however, are not elastic but rather inelastic. In inelastic collision some of the kinetic energy is lost to the environment in some other form of energy such as heat energy.

List the eight categories of biological classification of organisms from the most general category to the most specific.
NARA [144]

Answer:

Classification of biological organisms from most general to most specific is -

Domain

Kingdom

Phylum

Class

Order

Family

Genus

Species

Explanation:

A hierarchy system of taxa or ranks of living organisms up to species level is known as taxonomic classification. It includes a higher and most generalized rank domain consist of archaea, bacteria, and eukarya. Second most generalized ranks kingdom that consist of various kingdoms.

Less generalized ranks are in order of a decrease in general and an increase in specificity are phylum, class, order, and family and the most specific ranks are genus and species.
