Your body continues to move unless stopped by the seatbelt. An object in motion will remain in motion. Since your body was already moving it will continue to.

When heat is converted into another form of energy, the total amount of energy is constant. Which law best illustrates this stat
deff fn [24]
The law of conservation of energy states that in a closed or isolated system, the amount of energy remains constant because energy can neither be created or destroyed. It can only be transferred from one form into another. This applies to all forms of energy.

A 500 kg sack of coal falls vertically onto a 2000 kg railroad flatcar which was initially moving horizontally at 3 m/s. no exte
Zinaida [17]

Since there are no external forces, including friction, act on the flatcar. after the sack rests on the flatcar, we would assume that momentum is conserved. This means that

total momentum of car before collision = total momentum of car after collision.

Recall,

momentum = mass x velocity

From the information given,

mass of car before collision = 2000

velocity of car before collision = 3

Thus,

total momentum of car before collision = 2000 x 3 = 6000

Also,

mass of sack = 500

mass of car and sack after collision = 500 + 2000 = 2500

velocity after collision = v

momentum after collision = 2500 x v = 2500v

Since momentum is conserved, then

6000 = 2500v

v = 6000/2500

v = 2.4

the speed of the flatcar is 2.4 m/s
