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.

Two true-breeding stocks of pea plants are crossed. one parent has red, axial flowers and theother has white, terminal flowers;
xxTIMURxx [149]
This is a typical case of a dihybrid cross. 
From the phenotype of the offspring, we can conclude that the gene for the red color of the flower and the gene for the axial position of the flower are dominant.
Since we know that the ratio of phenotypes in a dihybrid cross of independently inherited alleles is
9(dominant for both traits)
3(dominant for one trait, recessive for the other)
3(dominant for the second trait, recessive for the other)
1(recessive for both traits)
we can expect 3/16 of the f2 generation to be dominamt for one trait and recessive for the other (red, terminal flowers), or to be precise 190 individuals.

What has been the biggest cause of biodiversity loss? *
saw5 [17]
Habitat destruction is the key one out of all of these. Animals being kept at the zoo for research are usually endangered or vulnerable species which is doing more good than harm to them. Legal hunting of animals is most likely for rabbits, deer, and a stabilized population in the wild. Habitat destruction can destroy many populations and cause loads of damage. An example of that would be the Australian wildfires at the start of 2020.

Desity can often be used to help determin the identity for a substance ​
sp2606 [1]
Density can be useful in identifying substances. It is also a convenient property because it provides a link (or conversion factor) between the mass and the volume of a substance. Mass and volume are extensive (or extrinsic) properties of matter - they depend on amount.
