6 m/s
This type of collision is a <u>Inelastic collision </u>
Explanation:
We begin by finding the momentum of the initial train car;
Remember that momentum is given by the formulae mass (kg) * velocity (m/s)
Therefore;
Momentum = 6000 * 10
= 60,000 kg⋅m/s
The other car has zero momentum because;
4000 * 0
= 0
When the two train cars collide, the total momentum will be;
60,000 + 0 = 60,000
Therefore to find the velocity, well use the same formulae;
p = mv whereby;
p – momentum
m – mass
v – velocity
60,000 = (6000 + 4000) * v
v = 60,000 / 10,000
v = 6
= 6 m/s
This is an elastic collision because we are assuming that no energy is lost in the collision. Most collisions, however, are not elastic but rather inelastic. In inelastic collision some of the kinetic energy is lost to the environment in some other form of energy such as heat energy.

For the answer to the question above, the peripheral nervous system governs <span>all structures outside the brain and spinal cord. Peripheral nerves branch from the spinal cord through the foramen transversarium of each vertebrae. I suppose the structure it would not affect is the brain itself since cranial nerves are responsible for brain activity. Also, the spinal cord would also be unaffected since it is just a cylindrical bundle of nerve fibers that allow the connection of the peripheral nerves to the brain.</span>
