They would have the magnetic parts of the rocks oriented differently. This leaves a trace that allow scientists to find out how often this actually happens (as far as I remember, it's on average once in 800 000 years)
The force exerted on the cart 2 during the collision is 2 N.
The given parameters:
- <em>Mass of cart 1 = m1 = 1 kg</em>
- <em>Mass of cart 2 = m2 = 2kg</em>
- <em>Force applied on cart 1 = 2 N</em>
According to Newton's third law of motion, action and reaction are equal and opposite. The force exerted on cart 1 is equal in magnitude to the force exerted on cart 2 but in opposite direction.
Thus, the force exerted on the cart 2 during the collision is 2 N.

Answer:
15186 J energy lost due to friction
Explanation:
Given:
- Height of the tallest hill (first) h_1 = 16 m
- Height of the last hill h_2 = 7 m
- Velocity @tallest hill = 0
- Velocity @last hill = 0
Find:
How much energy was lost due to friction can be determined from an energy balance at point on top of tallest hill and on top of last hill:
E_p,1 + E_k,1 = E_p,2 + E_k,2 + E_f
Where, E_k,1 = E_k,2 = 0
E_p,1 - E_p,2 = E_f
E_f = m*g*(h_1 - h_2)
E_f = 172*9.81*(16 - 7)
E_f = 15186 J
