Potential energy: A type of energy which is possessed by an object due its position.

Example: A raised weight or when we raise any weight is a potential energy.

Potential energy depends upon three factors. They are:

Mass of an object.
Height of an object.
Gravitational force upon an object.

The potential energy of the object depends on

the height of the object with respect to some reference points,
the mass of the object,
the gravitational field the object is in.

A train is moving in a straight railway where it covered one third of the distance with

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

<em>The average speed of the train is 45 km/h</em>

Explanation:

<u>Speed</u>

It's defined as the distance (d) per unit of time (t) traveled by an object. The formula is:

$\displaystyle v=\frac{d}{t}$

Let's call x the total distance covered by the train. It covered d1=1/3x with a speed of v1=25 km/h. The time taken is calculated solving for t:

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{d_1}{v_1}$

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{1/3x}{25}$

$\displaystyle t_1=\frac{x}{75}$

Now the rest of the distance:

d2 = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

Was covered at v2=75 km/h. Thus the time taken is:

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{d_2}{v_2}$

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2/3x}{75}$

$\displaystyle t_2=\frac{2x}{225}$

The total time is:

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{75}+\frac{2x}{225}$

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{3x}{225}+\frac{2x}{225}$

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{5x}{225}$

Simplifying:

$\displaystyle t_t=\frac{x}{45}$

The average speed is the total distance divided by the total time:

$\displaystyle \bar v=\frac{x}{\frac{x}{45}}$

Simplifying:

$\boxed{\displaystyle \bar v=45\ km/h}$

The average speed of the train is 45 km/h

Suppose a gliding 2-kg cart bumps into, and sticks to, a stationary 5-kg cart. If the speed of the gliding cart before the colli

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of Glidding Cart = m₁ = 2 kg

Mass of Stationary Cart = m₂ = 5 kg

Initial velocity of Glidding Cart = u₁ = 14 m/s

Initial velocity of Stationary Cart = u₂ = 0 m/s

To Find:

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision = $v_{f}=?$

Solution:

Law of Conservation of Momentum:

For a collision occurring between two objects in an isolated system, the total momentum of the two objects before the collision is equal to the total momentum of the two objects after the collision.

It is denoted by "p" and given by

Momentum = p = mass × velocity

Hence by law of Conservation of Momentum we hame

Momentum before collision = Momentum after collision

Here after collision both are stuck together so both will have same final velocity,

$m_{1}\times u_{1}+m_{2}\times u_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})\times v_{f}$

Substituting the values we get

$2\times 14 + 5\times 0 =(2+5)\times v_{f}$

$v_{f}=\dfrac{28}{7}=4\ m/s$

Therefore,

Final velocity of the coupled carts after the collision is

$v_{f}=4\ m/s$

Nuclear energy is more harmful to the environment than a coal-fired power plant because it produces more mercury, air pollution,

krok68 [10]

A nuclear power plant doesn't produce any of those things. It only produces electricity and heat. As long as there are no accidents, and the worn out nuclear fuel is handled properly, the nuclear plant isn't harmful to the environment at all.
