Train car a is at rest when it is hit by train car b. the two cars, which have the same mass, are stuck together and move off after the collision. how does the final velocity of train cars a and b after the collision compare to the initial velocity of train car b before the collision? the final velocity is double train car b’s initial velocity. the final velocity is the same as train car b’s initial velocity. the final velocity is half of train car b’s initial velocity. the final velocity is zero since train car b will stop.

Consider the orbit of a typical comet around the sun, which is marked at five different positions, s, z, u, x , and p. sun a b x z p s u using kepler's second law of planetary motion, rank those positions in order of their relative speeds, with the position for the fastest speed first.

Aperson gives a shopping cart an initial push along a horizontal floor to get it moving, and then lets go. the cart travels forward along the floor, gradually slowing as it moves. consider the horizontal force(s) on the cart while it is moving forward and slowing. which of the following statements is correct? (a) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the forward force is larger. (b) only a forward force is acting which diminishes with time. (c) both a forward and a backward force are acting on the cart, but the backward force is larger. (d) only a backward force is acting, no forward force.

What would be the result of an alpha particle coming into a magnetic field? a) the alpha particle will stop moving. b) the alpha particle will reverse its direction. c) the alpha particle will be deflected in a curve path. d) the alpha particle will continue to travel in a straight line.
