If it's Kepler's law of equal areas you're talking about,
then the first of the four statements is true.
They are both in motion because an object is not at rest, but moving so slow it could be at rest. A car going at the same constant velocity is neither speeding up or slowing down, an object "at rest" is also moving at a constant rate, not speeding up or slowing done.
Answer:
<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>
Explanation:
<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum
</u>
The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is
P=mv.
If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:
P = P'
In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

The common velocity after this situation is:

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
