two toy cars can roll without friction on a horizontal surface. Car A is a 5 kg. Car B is 0.5 kg. Both cars start from rest. Equ
1 answer:
Answer:
A. The momentum of car A(5kg) is EQUAL to that of car B(0.5)
Explanation:
The moment, or impulse formula of the same forces acting on both car within 1 second is
In our case the forces are the same, the time duration of force acting on the cars are the same. Therefore, their momentum right after the force must also be the same.

The correct answer is:
Work is negative, the environment did work on the object, and the energy of the system decreases.
In fact, the work-energy theorem states that the work done by the system is equal to its variation of kinetic energy:
In this problem, the variation of kinetic energy is negative (because the final velocity is less than the initial velocity), so the work is negative, and this means that the environment did work on the object, and its energy decreased.
