Engineers are using computer models to study train collisions to design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collision between two train cars traveling toward each other. Car 1 is traveling south at 18 m/s and has a full load, giving it a total mass of 14,650 kg. Car 2 is traveling north at 11 m/s and has a mass of 3,825 kg. After the collision, car 1 has a final velocity of 6 m/s south. What is the final velocity of car 2?

The most important difference between a wedge and an inclined plane is a. their size b. their shape c. how they are used d. what they are made of

A250-n box is at rest on a frictionless horizotal floor. then a person shoves the box with a non-zero force of magnitude p. which statement best describes the relationship betweeen p and the motion of the box after it was shoved? -the box will not move when p< 250n but otherwise will accelerate at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p - the box will begin moving at a speed that is directly proportional to p, then will gradually slow to a halt -the box will move with constant velocity at a speed that is directly proportional to p -box will accelerate across the floor at a constant rate that is directly proportional to p
