Answer:
0.67 m/s
Explanation:
Mass of car 1, m₁ = 5000 kg
Mass of car 2, m₂ = 10,000 kg
Initial speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s
Final speed of car 2, u₂ = 0 (at rest)
We need to find the final velocity of both cars when inelastic collision occurs. The momentum will remain conserved in case of inelastic collision. Using the conservation of momentum. Let V is the final speed.

So, after the inelastic collision, they will move with a speed of 0.67 m/s.
Answer:
Explanation:
30 N force is pulling total mass of 15 kg , so acceleration in the system of masses
= 30 / 15
= 2 m / s²
Let us now consider forces acting on 9 kg . 30 N is pulling it in forward direction . Tension T in the string attached to it is pulling it in reverse direction
so net force on it
30 - T
Applying Newton's law of motion on it
30 - T = mass x acceleration
30 - T = 9 x 2
30 - 18 = T
T = 12 N
The particles will move faster due to the increased energy from the heat.
