Answer:
(a) 2.5 m/s
(b) 37.5 KJ
Explanation:
(a)
From the law of conservation of momentum, Initial momentum=Final momentum

and making
the subject then
and since
is initial velocity of car, value given as 4 m/s,
is the initial velocity of the three cars stuck together, value given as 2 m/s and
is the final velocity which is unknown. By substitution

(b)
Initial kinetic energy is given by

Final kinetic energy is given by

The energy lost is given by subtracting the final kinetic energy from the initial kinetic energy hence
Energy lost=350-312.5=37.5 KJ
Answer:
0.358g
Explanation:
Density of Helium = 0.179g/L
ρ=m/v
m=ρv
when the volume was 2L
m1= 0.179*2
m1=0.358g
when the volume increased to 4L
m2= 0.179*4
m2=0.716g
gram of helium added = 0.716g-0.358g
=0.358g
