There are a variety of waves from light waves to mechanical waves. Waves can exhibit different effects like the Doppler Effect.
All light waves behave in a similar manner. They either get transmitted, reflected, absorbed, refracted, polarized, diffracted, or scattered based off of the composition of the object and the wavelength of the light.
According to Wikipedia, “One important property of mechanical waves is that their amplitudes are measured in an unusual way, displacement divided by (reduced) wavelength. When this gets comparable to unity, significant nonlinear effects such as harmonic generation may occur, and, if large enough, may result in chaotic effects.” Mechanical waves are chaotic and its “amplitudes” are measured unusually.
Diffraction is when light bends around objects and spread after passing out through small openings. “Diffraction occurs with all waves, including sound waves, water waves, and electromagnetic waves such as light that the eye can see.”-Wikipedia. Here is the formula to Diffraction: <em>d </em>sin <em>θ </em>= <em>nλ</em>
Doppler effect can occur for any type of wave like sound or water waves. An example of this is when we hear a police car with its sirens on, coming towards us. The closer you are to the police car, the higher the wavelength, but the farther away you are, the lower the wavelength.

Newton’s first law states that if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
Newton’s second law is a quantitative description of the changes that a force can produce on the motion of a body. It states that the time rate of change of the momentum of a body is equal in both magnitude and direction to the force imposed on it.
Newton’s third law states that when two bodies interact, they apply forces to one another that are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction. The third law is also known as the law of action and reaction. This law is important in analyzing problems of static equilibrium, where all forces are balanced, but it also applies to bodies in uniform or accelerated motion.

The first law represented in the game would be the candy. If you blow it, it would move but then stop due to friction.
The second law would be represented by blowing the candy. Since the candy was light, it would be easier to blow but if it was heavier, it would be a lot harder.
The final law represented in the game would be if you decided to blow the candy with a ballon instead, the candy would move the opposite direction the ballon is moving.
Answer:
For the first situation, we first need to find the mass of the second train car.
In order to do that, we apply the conservation of the amount of movement:
and we have as a result:
m2 = 289.6875
For the second situation, also we will apply the conservation of the amount of movement:
and we have as a result:
V = 2.64 (it is moving to the right)
When do you gotta turn it in?
