Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

Explain why materials such as plastic foam, feathers, and fur are poor conductors of heat.
Firlakuza [10]
The atoms of some materials have no free electrons in their outer orbits. These electrons are busy doing other jobs, like being shared in the orbits of two adjacent atoms. They are so closely held that it is very difficult to pull them away. Most compounds of carbon and hydrogen are like this. 

<span>Plastics, whose molecules are made from long combinations of carbon and hydrogen atoms, have few or no free electrons. This means that plastics are poor conductors of electricity (and they are also poor conductors of heat). hope that helped.</span>

What was the result of the Mexican army's victory over the Texan garrison at the Alamo?
sasho [114]

The result of the Mexican victory was that fallen defenders became heroes to the cause of Texan independence.<span> The Battle of the Alamo took place between February 23 and March 6, 1836 and became the central episode of the Texas Revolution . After this thirteen-day battle, the Mexican troops of General President Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna began an attack on San Antonio de Bexar, the current San Antonio in Texas. The Battle of the Alamo fought the army of Mexico against a group of Texan rebels, mostly American settlers. More than four thousand men from Santa Ana stood in front of the Alamo Fort , the last stronghold of the rebels, which barely reached 187. The Alamo was not a fortress prepared to withstand a siege. It is believed that all the rebels of the Alamo died in the siege, but Santa Anna came to lose up to about 900 men during the days that lasted the fight. However, the worst result for Santa Ana was precisely the resistance that the Texan rebels had in the Alamo, which fostered the fighting spirit of the Texans. A few days later, on March 14, 1836, Texas became independent from Mexico and a month later, Santa Ana was imprisoned.</span>
