Answer:

Let the momentum of the orange train be positive

P = 100 * 8 - 200 * 1 = 600 kg-m/s

P(final) = 600 kg-m/s

P / M = 600 kg-m/sec / 300 kg = 2 m/s    

Answer-B     final momentum = 600 kg-m/s

Scientists can use the location and depth of where a fossil is found to estimate the age of the fossil. To do this, they use
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

C the Law of Superposition

Explanation:

Basically the law of Superposition is applied in this regard. The law states that "the oldest layer is on the bottom and the youngest layer is on top".

When we find fossils at a particular depth we can relatively date a rock based on the strata we find them. A fossil in place in bottom beds will be older than the one in the topmost layer. Fossils also succeed one another in a definite pattern according to the principle of fossil and fauna succession.

If a calorie is equivalent to 4.184 joules how many joules are contained in 250 kg calories slice of pizza
Andreyy89
In order to answer this, we will set up a simple ratio as such:

1 calorie = 4.184 joules

1 kilocalorie = 1000 calories

1 kilocalorie = 4,184 joules

250 kilocalories = x joules

Cross multiplying the second and third equations, we get:

x joules = 4,184 * 250

250 kilocalories are equivalent to 1,046 kJ

(a) a light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.15 m/s2. how long does it take it to reach its top speed of 80.0 km/h
snow_lady [41]
A = 1.15m/s2, Vf = 80.0km/h --> we need it in m/s, so:
Vf = 80km/h × 1000m/1km × 1h/3600s
= 22.22m/s
Top speed = Vf, initial speed = Vi
time (t) = V(Vf-Vi) ÷ a
t = (22.22-0)m/s ÷ 1.15m/s2
t = 22.22m/s × s2/1.15m
= 19.32 seconds
