Answer:
Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.
Explanation:
Suppose A 1200 kg station wagon is moving along a straight highway at 12.0 m/s. Another car with mass 1800 kg and speed 20.0 m/s.
Given that,
Mass of first wagon = 1200 kg
Mass of second wagon = 180 kg
Distance = 40 m
We need to calculate the position of the center of mass of the system
Using formula of center mass



Hence, Center of mass lies 24 m in front of center of mass of second wagon.
The automobiles do have the same acceleration as the velocity the answer is yes ?
Explanation :
The points regarding the gravitational waves are as follows :
(1) Gravitational waves are predicted to travel through space at the speed of light. So, the speed of gravitational waves is also equals
.
(2) The first direct detection of gravitational waves came in 2015. It is detected using a advanced LIGO detectors.
(3) The existence of gravitational waves is predicted by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Hence, the correct options are (B), (D) and (E).
For an inelastic collision where coefficient of restitution,e, is equal to 0, the momentum is conserved but not the kinetic energy. So, there is addition or elimination of kinetic energy.
On the otherhand, when e = 1, like for an elastic collision, kinetic energy and momentum is conserved. Thus, the system's kinetic energy is unchanged.
