A125kg bumper car going 12m/s hits a 235kg bumper car going -13m/s. if the first car bounces back at -12.5m/s what is the velocity of the 2nd car after the collision

According to the law of conservation of momentum:



m1 = mass of first object
m2 = mass of second object
v1 = Velocity of the first object before the collision
v2 = Velocity of the second object before the collision
v'1 = Velocity of the first object after the collision
v'2 = Velocity of the second object after the collision

Now how do you solve for the velocity of the second car after the collision? First thing you do is get your given and fill in what you know in the equation and solve for what you do not know. 

m1 = 125 kg     v1 = 12m/s      v'1 = -12.5m/s
m2 = 235kg      v2 = -13m/s     v'2 = ?






Transpose everything on the side of the unknown to isolate the unknown. Do not forget to do the opposite operation. 






The velocity of the 2nd car after the collision is 0.03m/s.

How is it possible that phylogenies based on sequences from nuclear genomes and organellar genomes (i.e., chloroplasts and mitochondria) from the same group of species yield phylogenetic trees with different branching orders?   answer :   the genome of the endosymbiont is more closely related to members of the group in which it originally evolved, while the nuclear genome of the engulfing organism has its own evolutionary trajectory.

Answerok the answer is (all)
