Answer:
0.1 m/s
Explanation:
Please see attached photo for explanation.
Mass of 1st cart (m₁) = 500 g
Initial velocity of 1st cart (u₁) = 0.25 m/s
Mass of 2nd cart (m₂) = 750 g
Initial velocity of 2nd cart (u₂) = 0 m/s
Velocity (v) after collision =.?
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)
(500 × 0.25) + (750 × 0) = v(500 + 750)
125 + 0 = v(1250)
125 = 1250v
Divide both side by 1250
v = 125 / 1250
v = 0.1 m/s
Thus, the two cart will move with a velocity of 0.1 m/s after collision.
Answer:

Explanation:
From conservation of energy states that

Think of it this way:
-- Any time you have something that means (some number) PER UNIT,
it doesn't matter how many units there are on the table or in the bucket,
because that amount doesn't change the (number) PER UNIT.
-- If oranges cost $1 PER POUND, it doesn't matter how many pounds
you buy, the whole bagful is still $1 PER POUND.
-- If a certain salad dressing has 40 calories PER Tablespoon, it doesn't
matter whether you eat a drop of it or drink the whole jar. You still get
40 calories PER Tablespoon.
-- Density means '(mass) PER unit of volume'. Whether you have a tiny
chip of the substance or a whole truckload of it, there's still the same
amount of mass IN EACH unit of volume.

There are three forces acting on the book.
1. Force due to gravity
2. Force exerted downward by the hamster
3. Normal Force in reaction to the downward forces
Since the book is not moving, the net force is zero. The summation of all forces must be zero. Then we could find the normal force which is unknown (denoted as x).
∑F = -(4 kg)(9.81 m/s2) - 3 N + x =0
∑F = -39.24 N - 3N + x =0
x = 42 N
Therefore, the normal force is 42 N.
