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.

Answer:
Nitrogen cycle works through various stages like, nitrogen fixation, nitrification, assimilation, ammonification, denitrification etc. It is a building block for protein and DNA
Explanation:
Nitrogen is an element abundantly found in the atmosphere, also its building block for proteins as well as nucleic acid i.e. DNA formation. In nitrogen cycle , the nitrogen is being prepared from inert nitrogen. The nitrogen cycle has several processes like nitrogen fixation, in this the inert nitrogen is being converted to organic nitrogen with the help of certain micro-organism.
Nitrification, plants cannot absorb directly nitrogen so bacteria help the plants to convert the nitrogen into ammonia form in this stage. Assimilation, another stage in which plants starts absorbing various forms of nitrogen from the soil.i.e. nitrate, nitrite and ammonium. Ammonification, here plants and animals have nitrogen in there body after death various microbes help in decomposition in this stage. Denitrification, in this stage the return back of nitrogen takes place.
