In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

How does emission spectra occur?
Lerok [7]

The frequencies of light that an atom can emit are dependent on states the electrons can be in. When excited, an electron moves to a higher energy level or orbital. When the electron falls back to its ground level the light is emitted.

hope this helped:)

A 20,000 kg truck is traveling at 10 m/s. Calculate the truck's momentum. (p = m v)
kow [346]

Answer:

200,000 and 20,000,000

Explanation:

Substituting the values into the equation of momentum, we get that the momentum is p = mv = 20,000*10 = 200,000. Using the equation provided to solve for the force the truck experienced, we find: 20,000*10/0.01 = 20,000,000.

I hope this helps!

The nucleus contains protons and neutrons. Being positively charged, the protons repel each other. The nucleus should fly apart
Arte-miy333 [17]

this is due to the existence of other forces called the strong nuclear forces that overcomes the repulsion forces between the protons and keeps the nucleons holding to each other also there is a type of energy that is called the nuclear binding energy and this energy also works on binding the components of the nucleus together
