Answer:
16km/h
Explanation:
Vt=20km/h ---train speed
Vd=4km/h
Donas speed relative to ground is:
Vrd=Vt-Vd
Donas is moving in opposite direction of train .
Vrd=20km/h-4km/h
Vrd=16km/h
I assume the block plows into the bank of sand with a velocity of 6 m/s and comes to a stop in 2 s.
Answer:
Total energy is constant
Explanation:
The laws of thermodynamics state that thermal energy (heat) is always transferred from a hot body (higher temperature) to a cold body (lower temperature).
This is because in a hot body, the molecules on average have more kinetic energy (they move faster), so by colliding with the molecules of the cold body, they transfer part of their energy to them. So, the temperature of the hot body decreases, while the temperature of the cold body increases.
This process ends when the two bodies reach the same temperature: we talk about thermal equilibrium.
In this problem therefore, this means that the thermal energy is transferred from the hot water to the cold water.
However, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system is constant: therefore here, if we consider the hot water + cold water as an isolated system (no exchange of energy with the surroundings), this means that their total energy remains constant.
Answer: The forces acting on both of them will increase in magnitude.
Explanation:
According to Coulomb's law, the electrostatic force between two bodies is proportional to the product of their two charges. If the charge on A is increased this product increases in size (it must have been non-zero to begin with, since there was a force between them at first). Thus, the force between them rises.
