A boxcar at a rail yard is set into motion at the top of a hump. The car rolls down quietly and without friction onto a straight

, level track where it couples with a flatcar of smaller mass, originally at rest, so that the two cars then roll together without friction. Consider the two cars as a system from the moment of release of the boxcar until both are rolling together. (a) Is mechanical energy of the system conserved? Yes No (b) Is momentum of this system conserved? Yes No Next, consider only the process of the boxcar gaining speed as it rolls down the hump. Consider the boxcar and the Earth as a system. (c) Is mechanical energy of this system conserved? Yes No (d) Is momentum of this system conserved? Yes No Finally, consider the two cars as a system as the boxcar is slowing down in the coupling process. (e) Is mechanical energy of this system conserved? Yes No (f) Is momentum of this system conserved? Yes No

Answer:

a) Yes, the mechanical energy of the system is conserved because they were no friction in the system.

b) Yes, the momentum of the system is conserved because the two car continued to move after collision and without friction.

c) No, the mechanical energy of the system is not conserved because the car is gaining speed due to gravitational force acting on the car as it roll down the hump.

d) No, the momentum of this system is not conserved because the car gains speed as it moves down, which changes the momentum of the car.

e) No, mechanical energy of the system is not conserved because the car is slowing down, that means frictional force is acting the oppose the motion of the car.

f) No, momentum of the system is not conserved because the velocity of the car has reduced after collision, which will cause the momentum of the system to change

How federalism affects the lawmaking process and enforcing laws.
stealth61 [152]

A <span>principle of government that defines the relationship between the central government at the national level and itsconstituent units at the regional, state, or local levels. Under this principle of government, power and authority is allocatedbetween the national and local governmental units, such that each unit is delegated a sphere of power and authority only itcan exercise, while other powers must be shared.</span>

The term federalism is derived from the Latin root foedus, which means "formal agreement or covenant." It includes theinterrelationships between the states as well as between the states and the federal government. Governance in the UnitedStates takes place at various levels and branches of government, which all take part in the decision-making process. Fromthe U.S. Supreme Court to the smallest local government, a distribution of power allows all the entities of the system to workseparately while still working together as a nation. Supreme Court justice <span>hugo l. black</span> wrote that federalism meant

a proper respect for state functions, a recognition of the fact that the entire country is made up of a Union ofseparate State governments, and a continuance of the belief that the National Government will fare best if theStates and their institutions are left free to perform their separate functions in their separate ways. (<span>Younger v.Harris</span>, 401 U.S. 37, 91S. Ct. 746, 27 L. Ed. 2d 669 <span>[1971])</span>

Answer:

Meta-communication

Explanation:

According to my research on different types of communications, I can say that based on the information provided within the question the term being defined is called Meta-communication. Like mentioned in the question, this is a communication discussing communication. It dictates how verbal commands or information should be interpreted by individuals as well as the stimuli that is added to the verbal information that has been provided.
