A10.0 kg cart and a 15kg cart are locked together with a compressed spring between them. they are then released so that the spring pushes the two carts apart. the 10.0 kg cart is moving at 4.5 m/s afterward. how fast is the 15kg cart moving? 3.0 m/s 2.0 m/s 4.5 m/s 5.0 m/s

What is the relationship between atmospheric pressure and the density of gas particles in an area of increasing pressure? (2 points) as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area decreases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area remains constant. as air pressure in an area increases, the density of the gas particles in that area increases and decreases in an alternating pattern. 3. which of the following correctly describes a way in which earth's atmosphere interacts with the geosphere?
