Two trolleys are moving in the same direction along a track. Trolley 1 has a momentum of 2 kg m/s and Trolley 2 has a momentum of 6 kg m/s. Trolley 2 catches up to Trolley 1. They collide, stick together and move off with a velocity of 2 m/s. Use the principle of conservation of momentum to work out the combined mass of the trolleys.

Hi there!

Recall the conservation of momentum:

For this type of inelastic collision:

Thus, the initial momentum equal the final momentum if there are no external forces.

We can begin by writing out this problem:

it is easily magnetized.

electromagnetic shielding is the practice of reducing the electromagnetic field in a space by blocking the field with barriers made of conductive or magnetic materials. shielding is typically applied to enclosures to isolate electrical devices from their surroundings, and to cables to isolate wires from the environment through which the cable runs. electromagnetic shielding that blocks radio frequency electromagnetic radiation is also known as rf shielding.

the shielding can reduce the coupling of radio waves, electromagnetic fields and electrostatic fields. a conductive enclosure used to block electrostatic fields is also known as a faraday cage. the amount of reduction depends very much upon the material used, its thickness, the size of the shielded volume and the frequency of the fields of interest and the size, shape and orientation of apertures in a shield to an incident electromagnetic
