Suppose car A is moving with a velocity Va, and car b with a velocity Vb,
According the principle of conservation of momentum:
Va x Ma + Vb x Mb = (Ma + Mb) V
V = (Va x Ma + Vb x Mb)/(Ma +Mb)
V = speed of cars after coupling
V = (Va x 20 mg + Vb x 15 mg)/(20 mg + 15 mg)
Put in the values of Va and Vb, and get the V
In genetic traits, p and q represent the relative probabilities of the two alleles manifesting. If these two are the only options (ex. a dominant one and a recessive one), then the probabilities of both must sum up to 1. In this case, since we are given that q = 0.4, then p + q = 1, p + 0.4 = 1, and p = 0.6.
The change in temperature here corresponds to a sensible heat. The amount of energy required can be calculated by multiplying the specific heat capacity, the amount of the substance and the corresponding change in temperature.
Heat required = mCΔT
Heat required = 0.368 kg (0.0920 cal/g°C) (60 - 23)°C
Heat required = 1.25 cal
