Answer:

V = 1.35 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a railroad car, m₁ = 25,000 kg

Initial speed of a railroad car, u₁ = 4.5 m/s

Initial speed of railroad car that is full of coal, u₂ = 0 (at rest)

We need to find the final velocity of the two railroad cars if they move as one after the collision. It is a case of inelastic collision in which the momentum remains conserved. Using the conservation of linear momentum as follows :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the final speed and u₂ = 0

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}\\\\V=\dfrac{25000\times 4.5}{25000+58000}\\\\V=1.35\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the two railroad cars is 1.35 m/s.

Question #1: Identify the type of Mutation below
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

Deletion

Explanation:

A mutation refers to a change in the DNA sequence. This means that the original sequence of bases in the DNA has been altered permanently.

There are three types of DNA mutations;  base substitutions, deletions and insertions.

In the particular case of this question, the original is TTCGATA while the copy is TTGATA. If you look closely at the two, you will notice that the C has been omitted. This is an example of  deletion.
