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>

What is know as law of inertia? ​
schepotkina [342]

Answer:

<em><u>mark</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>me</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>brianliest</u></em><em><u> </u></em><em><u>plz</u></em>

Explanation:

  • Law of inertia, also called Newton's first law, postulate in physics that, if a body is at rest or moving at a constant speed in a straight line, it will remain at rest or keep moving in a straight line at constant speed unless it is acted upon by a force.
  • Law of Inertia states that a body in a state of rest or uniform motion remains in the same state until and unless an external force acts on it.
  • A body continues to be in its state of rest or in uniform motion along a straight line unless an external force is applied on it. This law is also called law of inertia.

If you have a mass of 50 kg on <br> Earth, what is your weight in Newtons?
Bond [772]
Weight on any planet is (mass) x (acceleration of gravity there).

Acceleration of gravity on Earth is about 9.8 meters per second² .
So weight of 50 kg on Earth is  (50 x 9.8) = <u>490 newtons</u>.

(That's about  110.2 pounds.)
