A railroad car collides with and sticks to an identical railroad car that is initially at rest. After the collision, the total kinetic energy of the two cars is: A) the same as before.
B) half as much as before.
C) one third as much as before.
D) one fourth as much as before.
E) twice as much as before. Background image

Answer B:  "half as much as before"

Explanation:

Consider the conservation of momentum to start with in order to find the velocity of the conglomerate of the two cars after collision:

With this important result, we can nor compare the initial kinetic energy to the final one:

Therefore, the final kinetic energy is one half of the initial kinetic energy.

the displacement produced by the body.  

the amount of force subjected to the body.  

the angle between the direction of force and displacement

as we probably am aware that our atmosphere or air have various levels, each level has different gasses, and each gas has another porousness. at the point when the light originates from lower porousness to higher penetrability, it alters its course. with the goal that implies that when the light originates from the moon to the earth, it alters it's course a lot more occasions. it essentially implies that the state of the light piece of the moon is changed on the earth.
