Given:

Mass of the rail road car, m = 2 kg

velocity of the three cars coupled system, v' = 1.20 m/s

velocity of first car, v_{a} = 3 m/s

Solution:

a) Momentum of a body of mass 'm' and velocity 'v' is given by:

p = mv

Now for the coupled system according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum of a system before and after collision remain conserved:

mv_{a} + 2mv_{b} = (m + 2m)v'                        (1)

where,

v_{a} = velocity of the first car

v_{b} = velocity of the 2 coupled cars after collision

Now, from eqn (1)

v' = \frac{v_{a} + 2v_{b}}{3}

v' = \frac{3.00 + 2\times 1.20}}{3}

v' = 1.80 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the combined car system after collision is 1.80 m/s

<span>1. Kuiper Belt object is made of frozen is made of frozen gas, ice, and dust that orbits in the outermost reaches of the solar system. Kuiper belt is a region which is filled with icy gaz bodies. Its structure is almost the same as the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Pluto, Makemake, Haumea are the officially recognized planets which are located in this region. 2. In my opinion, the most suitable option is: 3) The planets formed at the center of a collapsing spinning cloud of gas and dust. According to theory of solar system formation, the solar system appeared after a supernova (star explosion). A cloud of gas and dust was collapsed, and it caused a formation of a solar nebula.

What is elasticity in polymer generally related to?
Andrej [43]
The elasticity of a polymer is primarily due to the structure of the molecule and the cross-linking between strands. Hydrogen bonding is a contributor to the shape of the molecule, but not a major player in terms of elasticity. We would have to answer "false".

A depiction of a famous scientific experiment is given. Consider how the beam changes when the magnet is off compared to when th
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of

v = E / B

Explanation:

After reading this long statement we can extract the data to work on the problem.

* They indicate that when the beam passes through the plates it deviates towards the positive plate, so the beam must be negative electrons.

* Now indicates that the electric field and the magnetic field are contracted and that the beam passes without deviating, so the electric and magnetic forces must be balanced

           F_{e} =  F_{m}

           q E = qv B

           v = E / B

this configuration is called speed selector

They ask us what type of beam was used.

The beam used is a negatively charged electron beam with a velocity of v = E / B
