Think in gravity, the moon is orbiting the Earth because of gravitational pull/force. Without this gravitational pull, the moon will just move in a straight line (Newton's first law).

A 300-kg truck moving rightward with a speed of 5 km/hr collides head on with a 1000kg car moving leftward with a speed of 100 k
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

The final velocity of the vehicles will be -75km per hour (leftwards).

Explanation:

Let us call m_1, v_1 mass and velocity of the truck , m_2, v_2 mass and velocity of the car, and v_f the final velocity of the vehicles.

The law of conservation of momentum states that

m_1v_1-m_2v_2= v_f(m_1+m_2)

solving for v_f we get:

v_f = \dfrac{m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

putting in numerical values

m_1 =300 kg \\v_1 =5km/hr = 1.39m/s\\m_2 = 1000kg\\v_2 = 100km/hr = 27.78m/s

v_f = \dfrac{300*(1.39)-1000*(27.78)}{300+1000}

\boxed{v_f = -21.0m/s } (<em>the negative sign indicates that the vehicles are moving in the leftward direction)</em>

or -75.8 km per hour.<em> </em>

What does it mean if the moon is waxing and waning
konstantin123 [22]
Both verbs come from Olde English. 
That's why everybody clearly understood their meaning until
a hundred years ago, but nobody understands them now.


"Waxing"  =  growing

For two weeks after the New Moon, it's growing toward Full.
First it's a waxing crescent for a week, then it's waxing gibbous.


"Waning"  =  shrinking

For two weeks after the Full Moon, it's shrinking toward New.
First it's waning gibbous for a week, then it's a waning crescent.
