The twice as heavy weight will hit the ground with more force, or impact.
Answer:
<em>Second option</em>
Explanation:
<u>Linear Momentum</u>
The linear momentum of an object of mass m and speed v is
P=mv
If two or more objects are interacting in the same axis, the total momentum is
Where the speeds must be signed according to a fixed reference
The images show a cart of mass 2m moves to the left with speed v since our reference is positive to the right
The second cart of mass m goes to the right at a speed v
The total momentum before the impact is
The total momentum after the collision is negative, both carts will join and go to the left side
The first option shows both carts with the same momentum before the collision and therefore, zero momentum after. It's not correct as we have already proven
The third option shows the 2m cart has a positive greater momentum than the other one. We have proven the 2m car has negative momentum. This option is not correct either
The fourth option shows the two carts keep separated after the collision, which contradicts the condition of the question regarding "they hook together".
The second option is the correct one because the mass 
has a negative momentum and then the sum of both masses keeps being negative
A block of plastic released under water will come up to the surface of the water because the density of the plastic is less than the density of water.
<h3>
What is density?</h3>
Density is the amount of mass a substance contains per its unit volume. It means the number of particles that can be packed into a unit space of that substance.
<h3>
How does density determine whether an object will float or sink?</h3>
When an object is immersed in a liquid, it experiences two forces - gravitational force and an upward buoyant force called upthrust. If the density of the object is more than the density of the liquid, gravitational force will be greater than upthrust and the object will sink, but if the density of the object is less than the density of the liquid, upthrust will be greater than gravitational force and the object will float. That is why a block of plastic will come up to the surface when released under water, because it is less dense than water.

Answer:
When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.
Explanation:
By definition, a pure substance or a homogeneous mixture consists of a single phase. A heterogeneous mixture consists of two or more phases. When oil and water are combined, they do not mix evenly, but instead form two separate layers.
