Answer:
Approximately
.
Explanation:
Make use of the fact that total momentum is conserved in collisions.
The momentum of an object of mass
and velocity
is
.
The momentum of the two trolleys before the collision would be:
.
.
Thus, the total momentum of the two trolleys right before the collision would be
.
Since the two trolleys are stuck to one another after the collision, they could modelled as one big trolley of mass
.
The momentum of the two trolleys, combined, is conserved during the collision. Thus, the total momentum of the new trolley of mass
would continue to be
shortly after the collision.
Rearrange the equation
to find the velocity of the two trolleys combined:
.
Hi there!
I believe the answer is transversal or transverse.
Convection is the circular motion that occurs as hotter air or liquid increases when the cooler air or liquid drops down, and has faster moving molecules, rendering it less dense. Convection currents within the earth shift layers of magma, and currents are formed by convection in the ocean.
