Answer:

Velocity of center of mass must be ZERO

Explanation:

As we know that two cars are moving on friction-less surface

So here we can say that on the system of cars there is no external force along x direction

So we can say that

F_{net} = \frac{dP_{cm}}{dt}

so here if net force is zero

\frac{dP_{cm}}{dt} = 0

P_{cm} = constant

since finally the two cars comes to rest so here final velocity of center of mass of two cars will be zero and hence it will be always zero as there is no force on the system of two cars

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

The distance is 55.636 billion miles, or 528.2 AU.

Explanation:

Since the distance from the Sun to Neptune is 2.7818 billion miles, the distance from the Sun to Planet Nine would be 20 times that, which is:

d=(20)(2781800000\ miles)=55636000000\ miles

or 55.636 billion miles.

Since 1 astronomical unit (AU) is 93 million miles, that distance is also:

d=(55636000000\ miles)(\frac{1AU}{93000000\ miles})=598.2\ AU

If a ball rolls at constant velocity, it is rolling at constant speed? explain
Shtirlitz [24]
Velocity is speed with direction. So, if velocity varies directly with speed, that statement would be true. A constant velocity would resort in a constant speed. They are connected and are dependant on each other.

I hope this helps!

Which process produce x-ray?
vovangra [49]

Answer:

X-rays are commonly produced in X-ray tubes by accelerating electrons through a potential difference (a voltage drop) and directing them onto a target material

A punted football hits the ground with a force of 50 N . According to Newton’s 3rd law of motion what also happens at the same e
Nadya [2.5K]

As per Newton's III law every action has equal and opposite reaction

So here we can say that

every body which apply force on other body must have a reaction force of same magnitude in opposite direction

So here if ball hits the ground by 50 N force then the ball must have a reaction force on itself with same magnitude and opposite direction

the magnitude of the force will be 50 N

and its direction is opposite to the force that ball apply on the floor
