The equation 
(option 3) represents the horizontal momentum of a 15 kg lab cart moving with a constant velocity, v, and that continues moving after a 2 kg object is dropped into it.
The horizontal momentum is given by:
Where:
- m₁: is the mass of the lab cart = 15 kg
- m₂: is the <em>mass </em>of the object dropped = 2 kg
: is the initial velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>initial velocit</em>y of the <em>object </em>= 0 (it is dropped)
: is the final velocity of the<em> lab cart </em>
: is the <em>final velocity</em> of the <em>object </em>
Then, the horizontal momentum is:
When the object is dropped into the lab cart, the final velocity of the lab cart and the object <u>will be the same</u>, so:
Therefore, the equation represents the horizontal momentum (option 3).

I hope it helps you!
C) In the absence of an unbalanced force, an object at rest will stay at rest and an object in motion will stay in motion.
hope this helps and have a great day :)
Answer:
Balanced forces
Explanation:
Balanced forces are where two forces of equal size act on an object in opposite directions. It means that in each direction, any pushes and pulls are balanced by another force in the opposite direction.
Answer:
empty space
Explanation:
Our solar system comprises of the sun as the star, the planets, the dwarf planets, various moons, and plenty of asteroids, comets, and meteoroids. However, the majority part of the solar system consists of a void or empty space. These empty spaces basically composed of planetary dust and gas.
Hence, it can be concluded that Most of our Solar system is composed of "Empty Spaces."
Winds are deflected to the right as they move into a low pressure area in the Northern Hemisphere.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Winds decide the motion of ocean currents which forms the surface waves in the Earth's atmosphere to maintain the pressure region. The motion of ocean currents is based on Coriolis force which states the direction of motion of an object in a rotating system.
In the case of Earth, the Coriolis force has an effect on the ocean currents which are deflected from maximum to minimum pressure region in a curved path. So the winds formed by the ocean currents will generally get deflected at the right as they move into a low pressure area at the Northern Hemisphere from the high pressure region.
