The speed of the combined carts after the collision is 0.25 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the principle of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum of the system must be conserved before and after the collision, so we can write:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v

where:

m_1 = 1.0 kg is the mass of the first cart

u_1 = 0.50 m/s is the initial velocity of the first cart

m_2 = 1.0 kg is the mass of the second cart

u_2 = 0 is the initial velocity of the second cart

v is the final combined velocity of the two carts

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find: the final velocity:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(1.0)(0.50)}{1.0+1.0}=0.25 m/s

Why is Florida more vulnerable to the effects of climate change? ​
AURORKA [14]

Answer:

Along the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts of Florida, the land surface is also sinking. If the oceans and atmosphere continue to warm, sea level along the Florida coast is likely to rise one to four feet in the next century. Rising sea level submerges wetlands and dry land, erodes beaches, and exacerbates coastal flooding.

kondaur [170]

Answer:

1. The respiratory system functions when our involuntary nervous system sends impulses to the muscles in the diaphragm; thereby, causing the lungs to expand and contract.

2. The respiratory system oxygenates the blood which is vital for bodily function as oxygenated blood is carried from your lungs to the left side of your heart, to be circulated throughout the body. Furthermore deoxygenated blood is carried back to the right side of your heart to get oxygenated once more.

3. The other body systems that are crucial for the lungs to function are the nervous system and the muscular system.

4. without the raspatory system the body wouldn't receive any oxygen and the brain would slowly die. therefore, without the brain the heart would stop functioning and atrophy etc.

A 2190 kg car moving east at 10.5 m/s collides with a 3220 kg car moving east. The cars stick together and move east as a unit a
Bezzdna [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Momentum describing the inelastic collision of two bodies. By definition the collision between the two bodies is given as:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

Where,

m_{1,2}= Mass of each object

v_{1,2}= Initial Velocity of Each object

V_f= Final Velocity

Our values are given as

m_1 = 2190Kg

v_1 =10.5m/s

m_2 = 3220kg

V_f = 4.74m/s

Replacing we have that

m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = (m_1+m_2)V_f

(2190)(10.5)+(3220)v_2 = (2190+3220)(4.74)

v_2 = 0.8224m/s

Therefore the the velocity of the 3220 kg car before the collision was 0.8224m/s
