Answer:
Explanation:
consider the mass of each train car be m
m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m
speed of the three identical train
u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s
m₄ = m u₄ = 4.5 m/s
m₅ = m u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )
final velocity
v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v
using conservation of momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅
m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v
The Newton’s law Nikolas would use to come up with this idea is the <span>Third law that states:
</span><span>When one body exerts a force on a second body, the second body simultaneously exerts a force equal in magnitude and opposite in direction on the first body.
</span>
So, in this case, let's name the first Body A which is the skateboard and the second body B which is <span>the compressed carbon dioxide in a fire extinguisher. Then, as shown in the figure below, according to the Third law:
