Answer:

2.44 m/s due East

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of 1st car (m₁) = 4 Kg

Velocity of 1st car (u₁) = 3 m/s

Mass of 2nd car (m₂) = 5 Kg

Velocity of 2nd car (u₂) = 2 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

The final velocity can be obtained as follow:

v(m₁ + m₂) = m₁u₁ + m₂u₂

v(4 + 5) = (4×3) + (5×2)

9v = 12 + 10

9v = 22

Divide both side by 9

v = 22/9

v = 2.44 m/s

Thus, the final velocity is 2.44 m/s.

Since both cars was moving due East before collision, and after collision, they stick together, then their direction will be due East.

Which statement best describes the law of conservation of energy?
Phantasy [73]
<span>The correct option is C. Energy cannot be created or destroyed. This statement is known as law of conservation of energy, and it implies that whenever a certain form of energy does change, the loss of this form of energy must have converted into an another type of energy. A typical example is an object falling to the ground: initially, the object has gravitational potential energy. As the object falls down, it loses potential energy (since its altitude from the grounf decreases), but it acquires kinetic energy (because its velocity increases). In this example, potential energy has converted into kinetic energy, but the total energy of the object has remained constant.</span>
