Answer:

32.5 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

<em><u>Theory </u></em>

<u> The law of conservation of linear momentum </u>

The sum of linear momentum of a system under no external force remains constant.

In this scenario although different forces act on two vehicles by each other when we  consider the total system of two cars no external unbalance force act on them. So we can apply this law.

As law says,

The sum of linear momentum before collision = The sum of linear momentum after collision.

Momentum = mass × velocity

1000×40+3000×35 = 1000×v + 3000×37.5

where v = velocity of the red car after the cash

v = 32.5 ms⁻¹

What is the frequency of a wave that has a wavelength of 20 cm and a speed of 10 m/s
jarptica [38.1K]
You would probably have a low frequency due to how much the wavelength is spread out.
