The initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

Momentum is the product of the mass and velocity of any object.

Momentum is denoted by P.

Momentum P = mv , where m = mass and v = velocity.

<h3>Given:</h3>

Mass of the orange train = 200kg

Velocity of the orange train = 1m/s

So, the momentum of the orange train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 200 x 1

                                  P = 200 kgm/s

∴   The initial momentum of the orange train is 200kgm/s.

Mass of the yellow train = 100kg

Velocity of the yellow train = 8m/s

So, the momentum of the yellow train will be,

                            ∴    P = mv

                                  P = 100 x 8

                                  P = 800 kgm/s

∴ The initial momentum of the yellow train is 800kgm/s.

Therefore, the initial momentum of the yellow and the orange train is 1000kgm/s.

What would happen if a proton were added to the nucleus of the atom? (Check all that apply)
katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

It would become a different element.

Explanation:

When you change the number of protons i.e, add a proton in the nucleus of an atom, you will change the atom from one element to a different element and also positive charge of the atom also increased by 1.

For example, adding a proton to the nucleus of an atom of hydrogen creates an atom of helium.

So, we conclude that by adding a proton the atom will change from one element to another element.

How much energy can be stored in a spring with k = 470 n/m if the maximum possible stretch is 17.0 cm ?
MrRissso [65]
The strain energy stored in a linear spring is
SE = (1/2)*k*x²
where
k =  the spring constant
x =  the extension (or compression) of the spring

Given:
k = 470 N/m
x = 17.0 cm = 0.17 m

Therefore
SE = 0.5*(470 N/m)*(0.17 m)² = 6.7915 J

Answer:  6.8 J (nearest tenth)

A wire 50.0 m long and 2.00 mm in diameter is connected to a source with a potential difference of 9.11 V, and the current is fo
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

ρ = 1.6*10⁻⁸ Ω/m.

Explanation:

  • Applying Ohm's Law to the wire, assuming that it can be treated as a pure resistance, the resistance of the wire can be obtained as follows:

       R = \frac{V}{I} = \frac{9.11V}{36.0A} = 0.253  \Omega (1)

  • At the same time, we know that there exists a relationship between the resistance, the resistivity ρ, the length L and the area A of the wire, that is given for the following expression:

       R = \rho* \frac{L}{A} (2)

  • The area of the circular section of the wire, can be expressed as a function of the diameter d, as follows:

      A = \frac{\pi*d^{2} }{4} = \frac{\pi*(0.002m)^{2}}{4} = \pi*10e-6 (3)

  • Replacing  the left side of (2) by (1), and (3) on the right side, we can solve for the resistivity ρ as follows:

       \rho = \frac{R*A}{L} = \frac{0.253\Omega*\pi*10e-6}{50.0m} = 1.6e-8 \Omega/m

  • ρ = 1.6*10⁻⁸ Ω/m
