Answer:
the acceleration of the car is 5m/s2
<span>We need to calculate the number of seconds in one year.
time = (365 days) (24 hours/day) (3600 seconds/hour)
time = 31536000 seconds
We can calculate the distance that light travels in this many seconds.
distance = speed x time
distance = (3.00 x 10^8 m/s) (31536000 seconds)
distance = 9.46 x 10^{15} meters
A light year is 9.46 x 10^{15} meters</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
Let's call the large box "1" and the smaller box "2". The equation for this works so that momentum is conserved, as the Law states.
That says that the momentum of the larger box plus the momentum of the smaller box before the collision has to equal the momentum of the combined masses since they stick together. Filling in:
[(4(12) + 2(0)] = [(4 + 2)v] and
48 + 0 = 6v so
v = 8 m/s to the right
