potential energy is the energy held by an object because of its position relative to other objects, stresses within itself, its electric charge, or other factors.

Answer:

Potential energy is the latent energy in an object at rest, and is one of two forms of energy. The other form, kinetic energy, is the energy expressed by an object in motion. The actual potential energy of an object depends on its position relative to other objects.

6000 kg train moving 5 m/sec to east collides with 5000 kg train moving 3 m/sec to west. What is their velocity

Svetlanka [38]

The final velocity is 1.37 m/s east

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two trains must be conserved before and after the collision.

So we can write:

$p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v$
