The problem about describes a perfectly inelastic collision. We are tasked to find the initial velocity of an object having a mass of 6 kg moving due west. It is given in the problem that after collision the cart sticks together and it stops. Thus, the final mass is the sum of the two cart and the final velocity is zero. For a perfectly inelastic collision,

m1v1-m2v2=vf(m1+m2)
By Substitution,

3(4)-6(v2)=0
6v2=12
v2=2

Therefor, the initial velocity if a 6 kg cart is 2 m/s

Why don’t trade winds blow straight toward the equator<br> Apex
rosijanka [135]

Trade winds near equator blows in curve path instead of straight path. This is because of earth rotation. This effect of earth rotation that cause wind to move in curve motion is called Coriolis effect. These kind of wind blows at the northeast of the North hemisphere and southeast of the South hemisphere. The trade wind are warm and it blows due to rising of hot air from equator.
