When an apple is cut (or bruised), oxygen is introduced into the injured plant tissue. When oxygen is present in cells, polyphenol oxidase (PPO) enzymes in the chloroplasts rapidly oxidize phenolic compounds naturally present in the apple tissues to o-quinones, colorless precursors to brown-colored secondary products. so it will be c

When a 5.0-kilogram cart moving with a speed of 2.8 meters per second on a horizontal surface collides with a 2.0 kilogram cart

mixer [17]

Here in all such collision type question we can use momentum conservation as we can see that there is no external force on this system

$m_1v_{1i} + m_2v_{2i} = m_1v_{1f} + m_2v_{2f}$

as we know that

$m_1 = 5 kg$

$m_2 = 2 kg$

$v_{1i} = 2.8 m/s$

$v_{2i} = 0 m/s$

now from above equation we have

$5(2.8) + 2(0) = m_1v+ m_2v$

$14 = (5+ 2) v$

$v = 2 m/s$

so the speed of combined system is 2 m/s
