In that case, their momentum must be equal.
So, m1v1 = m2v2
20 * 20 = 40 * v2
v2 = 400 / 40
v2 = 10
In short, Your Answer would be: 10 m/s
Hope this helps!
Explanation:
Acceleration is change in velocity over change in time:
a = Δv / Δt
a = (10 m/s - 25 m/s) / (240 s - 0 s)
a = -0.0625 m/s²
So the car decelerates at 0.0625 m/s².
Well, first of all, I don't think "After the collapse of a nebular cloud ..."
is the first time that "atoms begin gravitating together". Seems to me like
that's what was going on all the time, and it's what caused the nebular cloud
to collapse in the first place.
In any case, once the pressure and temperature at the center get high enough,
you get "ignition" of nuclear fusion, and that's when you first have a "star".
If I remember correctly (from my studies long time ago) the layers are from the outer to the center:
SiAl : Silicon-Aluminum
SiMa : Silicon-Magnesium (although should be Mg)
NiFe : Nickel-Iron
The SiMa layer should have the lightest elements (Magnesium is lighter than Aluminum)
