Answer:
They collide, couple together, and roll away in the direction that <u>the 2m/s car was rolling in.</u>
Explanation:
We should start off with stating that the conservation of momentum is used here.
Momentum = mass * speed
Since, mass of both freight cars is the same, the speed determines which has more momentum.
Thus, the momentum of the 2 m/s freight car is twice that of the 1 m/s freight car.
The final speed is calculated as below:
mass * (velocity of first freight car) + mass * (velocity of second freight car) = (mass of both freight cars) * final velocity
(m * V1) + (m * V2) = (2m * V)
Let's substitute the velocities 1m/s for the first car, and - 2m/s for the second. (since the second is opposite in direction)
We get:
solving this we get:
V = - 0.5 m/s
Thus we can see that both cars will roll away in the direction that the 2 m/s car was going in. (because of the negative sign in the answer)
This is the answer to Question 5
Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

Answer: NNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONONONO
Explanation: simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side. The time interval of each complete vibration is the same. The force responsible for the motion is always directed toward the equilibrium position and is directly proportional to the distance from it. That is, F = −kx, where F is the force, x is the displacement, and k is a constant. This relation is called Hooke’s law.
A specific example of a simple harmonic oscillator is the vibration of a mass attached to a vertical spring, the other end of which is fixed in a ceiling. At the maximum displacement −x, the spring is under its greatest tension, which forces the mass upward. At the maximum displacement +x, the spring reaches its greatest compression, which forces the mass back downward again. At either position of maximum displacement, the force is greatest and is directed toward the equilibrium position, the velocity (v) of the mass is zero, its acceleration is at a maximum, and the mass changes direction. At the equilibrium position, the velocity is at its maximum and the acceleration (a) has fallen to zero. Simple harmonic motion is characterized by this changing acceleration that always is directed toward the equilibrium position and is proportional to the displacement from the equilibrium position. Furthermore, the interval of time for each complete vibration is constant and does not depend on the size of the maximum displacement. In some form, therefore, simple harmonic motion is at the heart of timekeeping.
It is called the reaction force of a bird flying.
