Hey there!

Seems like you're looking for the size and direction to the final velocity of the two cars. To find it, you must solve it like this.

0.4 kg(3 m/s) + 0.8kg(–2 m/s) = 1.2 kg m/s -1.6 kg m/s = –0.4 kg m/s

–0.4 kg m/s = 1.2 kg(v) = (–0.4 kg m/s)/(1.2 kg) = v = –0.33 m/s


So, the cars are traveling at -0.33 m/s in the direction of the second car.


Hope this helps

The negative work done is equal to the difference in the......... Electric potential energy Electric flux Electric potential Ele
Leto [7]

Answer:

Electric potential energy

Explanation:

The Electric potential energy of a system is less than that carried out by electrostatic forces during the development of the system (as long as charges are initially cut infinitely).

The change in potential energy between an initial and final configuration  is equal to minus the work done by the electrostatic forces.

How does seismic waves cause earthquakes?
Allisa [31]

Answer:

Seismic waves cause Earthquakes by shaking the ground aggressively and dangerously. These waves are usually calculated on a seismograph to calculate how hard the earthquake hit that area. A transform Boundary creates the tension when the tectonic plates gets stuck. It stays stuck for a long period of time. Then, at one point, the tectonic plates become unstuck which releases the tension into waves which are called seismic waves. Hope I answered you question.
