Answer:


Explanation:
m = Mass of each the cars = 
= Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s
= Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s
v = Velocity of combined mass
As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is
.
As energy in the system is conserved we have

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is
.
Answer:
$1.26
Explanation:
Power =energy/ time
energy =powerxtime
energy =50x31x24=37200
=37.2kwh
1kwh =3.39
37.2kwh=3.39x37.2=126.108cent
=$1.26
Its tangential speed is constant although its velocity is changing. As the object changes direction, it results in a changing of positive and negative signs of the velocity. Although, the magnitude of the velocity (speed) is not changing.
Answer: the waves travel in an horizontal direction while the strings vibrate in a vertical direction.
