Two masses are to collide directly with each other. One has a mass of 5 kg and a velocity of 2 m/s. The other has a mass of 3 kg and a velocity of 1 m/2. The collision is perfectly inelastic. Find the velocity of the masses after the collision.

Four different thermometers were used to measure the temperature of a sample of pure boiling water. the measurements are recorded in the table below. thermometer temperature reading 1 temperature reading 2 temperature reading 3 w 100.1°c 99.9°c 96.9°c x 100.4°c 102.3°c 101.4°c y 90.0°c 95.2°c 98.6°c z 90.8°c 90.6°c 90.7°c the actual boiling point of pure water is 100.0°c. what can be concluded from the data about the reliability and validity of the thermometers?
