Amoving freight car collides with an identical one that is at rest. if momentum is conserved, what happens to the second car after the collision?

Answer

There will be two different possiblites as

May be one is in rest or other move

May be both will be in motion

Expalanation

According to Conservation Law of Momentum, when the two objects collide with each other, they transferred their kinetic energy to keep their momentum before or after collisions remain constant. In the present example, one moving car collides with another car which is at rest and has the same weight. There will be two possibilities after the collision as an elastic collision or perfect inelastic collision. In the elastic collision, the one car will adopt the rest position after the collision and transfer it K.E to make the rest car at the movable position. In the perfect inelastic collision, both cars will move after the collision.

Acetic acid  /əˈsiːtɪk/, systematically named  ethanoic acid  /ˌɛθəˈnoʊɪk/, is a colourless liquid  organic compound  with the  chemical formula  ch3cooh (also written as ch3co2h or c2h4o2). when undiluted, it is sometimes called  glacial acetic acid.  vinegar  is no less than 4% acetic acid by volume, making acetic acid the main component of vinegar apart from water. acetic acid has a distinctive sour taste and pungent smell. in addition to household vinegar, it is mainly produced as a precursor to  polyvinyl acetate  and  cellulose acetate. it is classified as a  weak acid  since it only partially  dissociates  in solution, but concentrated acetic acid is corrosive and can attack the skin.acetic acidnamespreferred iupac nameacetic acidsystematic iupac nameethanoic acidother namesvinegar (when dilute); hydrogen acetate; methanecarboxylic acid[1][2]identifierscas number64-19-7  3d model (jsmol)interactive image3dmetb00009 reference506007chebichebi: 15366  chemblchembl539  chemspider171  drugbankdb03166  echa infocard100.000.528ec number200-580-7e numbere260  (preservatives)gmelin reference1380iuphar/bps1058keggd00010  meshacetic+acidpubchem  cid176rtecs numberaf1225000uniiq40q9n063p  un number2789inchiinchi=1s/c2h4o2/c1-2(3)4/h1h3,(h,3,4)  key:   qtbsbxvteameqo-uhfffaoysa-n  smilescc(o)=o
