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

IN WHAT WAY HAS TECHNOLOGY USED ABOARD THE INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION BENEFITTED HUMANS BACK ON EARTH?
drek231 [11]

Answer

The ways are;

• By commercializing low earth orbit

• By supporting water purification efforts worldwide

• By bringing space station ultrasound equipment on earth

• By improving eye surgery with space hardware

Explanation

There is a revolutionary commercial pathways that is currently opening access to space.For example, NASA is purchasing commercial cargo resupply to space station which enable U.S business to develop a competition in selling services to others while freeing NASA resources for deep space exploration. Using  technology developed in space, the Water Security Corporation has deployed systems using NASA water-processing technology to ensure drinkable water availability for human survival. Medical care in remote regions is now  facilitated by use of small ultrasound units, tele-medicine  and remote guided methods similar to those used in space. The Eye Tracking Device experiment has enable researchers to have an insight into corrective laser surgeries.
