1. A 50,000-kg train car moving at 2 m/s collides and connects to another identical car initially at rest.
-What is the momentum of the first train car before the collision?
-What is the final velocity of the two connected train cars?
- Is the momentum being conserved through out the collision? Explain why.
-Is the kinetic energy being conserved through out the collision? Explain
why.
-Is this collision an elastic or inelastic collision? Explain why.

Ahorizontal wire is tied to supports at each end and vibrates in its second-overtone standing wave. the tension in the wire is 5.00 n, and the node-to-node distance in the standing wave is 6.28 cm. (a) what is the length of the wire? (b) a point at an anti- node of the standing wave on the wire travels from its maximum upward displacement to its maximum downward displacement in 8.40 ms. what is the wire's mass?
