The velocity of the red cart after the collision is 2 m/s
From the law of conservation of momentum, initial momentum of system = final momentum of system.
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₃ + m₂v₄ where m₁ = mass of red cart = 4 kg, v₁ = velocity of red cart before collision = + 4 m/s, v₃ = velocity of red cart after collision, m₂ = mass of blue cart = 1 kg, v₂ = velocity of blue cart before collision = 0 m/s (since it is initially at rest) and v₄ = velocity of blue cart after collision = + 8 m/s.
Substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have,
m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₃ + m₂v₄
4 kg × 4 m/s + 1 kg × 0 m/s = 4v₃ + 1 kg × 8 m/s
16 kgm/s + 0 kgm/s = 4v₃ + 8 kgm/s
16 kgm/s = 4v₃ + 8 kgm/s
16 kgm/s - 8 kgm/s = (4 kg)v₃
(4 kg)v₃ = 8 kgm/s
Divide both sides by 4 kg, we have
v₃ = 8 kgm/s ÷ 4 kg
v₃ = 2 m/s
The velocity of the red cart after the collision is 2 m/s.

<u>Increase the thickness of the wire</u> would decrease the resistance in a wire
Explanation:
Thicker wires have a larger cross-section that increases the surface area with which electrons can flow unimpeded. The thicker the wire, therefore, the lower the resistance.
Thin wires have very high resistance the reason the thin tungsten in a bulb glows because it is heated from the high resistance of many electrons trying to pass through a very small cross-section.
Answer:
hmm mm which language is this
The answer is axial precession. Axial precession refers to
the very slow motion of the Earth’s axis, which almost requires twenty-six
thousand (26,000) years to complete a full rotation. This Axial Precession is
caused by the effects of gravitational pull from the Sun and the Moon towards
the Earth.
