Answer with Explanation:

One hypothesis above would probably rely on the situation called <em>"inelastic collision." </em>The two carts are travelling towards each other at different speed. So, this means that once they collide, the kinetic energy will not be conserved but will be transferred as <em>sound energy, thermal energy or material deformation</em>. The impact will be great, thus a <u>greater fraction of kinetic energy will be lost from the system.</u>

A 60.0 kg girl stands up on a stationary floating raft and decides to go into shore. She dives off the 180 kg floating raft with
lord [1]
Momentum, p = m.v
m of the girl = 60.0 kg
m of the boat = 180 kg
v of the girl = 4.0 m/s

A) Momentum of the girl as she is diving:
p = m.v = 60.0 kg * 4.0 m/s = 24.0 N/s

B) momentum of the raft = - momentum of the girl = -24.0 N/s

C) speed of the raft

p = m.v ; v = p/m = 24.0N/s / 180 kg = -0.13 m/s [i.e. in the opposite direction of the girl's velocity]

What is the relationship between mass gravity and weight?
Basile [38]
Fg=m•g || IE: Weight = mass x gravity
Therefore, the relationship are as follows:
mass and gravity are inversely proportional 
mass and weight are directly proportional
