Answer:

  v₂ = v/1.5= 0.667 v

Explanation:

For this exercise we will use the conservation of the moment, for this we will define a system formed by the two students and the cars, for this isolated system the forces during the contact are internal, therefore the moment conserves.

Initial moment before pushing

    p₀ = 0

Final moment after they have been pushed

    p_{f} = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   p₀ =  p_{f}

   0 = m₁ v₁ + m₂ v₂

   m₁ v₁ = - m₂ v₂

Let's replace

   M (-v) = -1.5M v₂

   v₂ = v / 1.5

  v₂ = 0.667 v

Mention one life application on density ​
kow [346]

One well-known application of density is determining whether or not an object will float on water. If the object's density is less than the density of water, it will float; if its density is less than that of water, it will sink.In fact, submarines dive below the surface of the water by emptying their ballast tanks
