A very basic model where we can assume there is no momentum loss during the collision... we need to calculate momentum, p.
p = mv
where m = 1 kg (the mass of the cart) and v = 0.5 m/s (velocity of the cart)
p = 1 kg . 0.5 m/s = 0.5 kg.m/s
After the collision the momentum will be the same, but the mass has doubled...
so p = mv = 0.5 kg.m/s = (1 kg + 1 kg).v
v = 0.5 kg.m/s / 2 kg = 0.25 m/s

How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
An 80 kg cart moving at 70 Km per hour collides head on with an approaching 120 kg cart moving at 40 Km per hour ''In The Opposite Direction''. If the two carts stick together what will be their speed?
The answer is 4.
What kind of rock is pressed and squeezed together?
When land is sqeezed together it is because tectonic plate are moving and crashing into each other. When the plates ceash into each other they can create a mountain. But if they rubb up against each other they can create a earthquake.
Do closely spaced contour lines indicate a steep slope or a gradual slope?
Steep slope. Each line is a different elevation. The distance between them is an indication of how fast the elevation is changing. If they are close together it means a small horizontal movement will result in a greater vertical change that when they lines are far apart - where you would have to travel a greater horizontal distance to move across the same number of contour lines (to get the same elevation change).
What were the three things that Alfred wegener used to prove the theory of continental drift?
Alfred Wegner had 4 theory`s,Climate evidence,Fossil evidence,the continents fitting together like a puzzle,and horizontal movement. The fossils were different types of ancient ferns and Dinosaurs.
What do the horizontal and vertical distribution of powers accomplish together?
nothing
What representatives of Parliament initially met?
they meet together
What does a pci -x look like?
A 30.0 ball of clay traveling east at 5.50 collides and sticks together with a 60.0 ball of clay traveling north at 8.50 .
What landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
Landforms formed when horizontal rock layers are squeezed together and buckle?
folded mountains
What kind of triangle has 3 horizontal sides?
A triangle will always be composed of a minimum of one horizontal and one verticle line with a third line connecting them together. Therefore, it would be impossible to compose a "legal triangle" with three horizontal lines.
How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
If a moving boxcar gently collides with a boxcar at rest and the two boxcars move together what will their combined momentum be?
Their combined momentum will be equal to the first boxcar's original momentum before the collision.
Will a vector at 45 degrees to he horizontal be larger or smaller than its horizontal and vertical components?
A vector at 45 degrees to the horizontal will always be larger than its two components because the two smaller components always combine together in order to equal the Vector.
What landform is formed when horizontal rock layers are sqeezed together and buckle?
Folded mountains are formed this way.
Vertical columns and horizontal rows?
Columns are always vertical and rows are always horizontal. Together they form a table. These appear in different applications, such Word, Access and Excel. In Excel they are known as a worksheet.
Colliding drops of water freeze together in the cold upper regions of a thunderstorm forming a layer of ice which creates what?
Hail forms in the upper levels of thunderstorms when water collides and forms ice.
