second truck, Q, of mass 0.10 kg are at rest on two horizontal straight rails, along which they can move with negligible friction. Pis acted on. by a horizontal force of 0.10 N which makes an angle of 30° with the track. After P has travelled 0.50 m, the force is removed and P then collides with and sticks to Q. Calculate:
