A 7950-kg railroad car travels alone on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 15.0 m/s . A 2950-kg load, initially
1 answer:
The new speed of car is 10.9 m/s
<h3 />According to the principle of momentum conservation, momentum is only modified by the action of forces as they are outlined by Newton's equations of motion; momentum is never created nor destroyed inside a problem domain.
Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7950 kg
Mass of the load, m₂ = 2950 kg
It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s
Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0
Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :
Therefore, the new speed of care is 10.9 m/s

Answer:
A) the ammeter is x
B)
- voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 0.75 V
- voltage across the right one = 0.3 V
C) 1.05 V
Explanation:
From the diagram attached below;
A) Assuming the homes were wired in series, and one of the homes face short circuit then all the houses would face power cut but it doesn't happen. So they must be connected in parallel.
Therefore; The ammeter is connected in series, Hence, the ammeter is x and the voltmeter must be z.
B)
Given that:
x = 0.15 A
z = 0.3 V
Resistor (R) on the left = 5 ohms
Then, voltage across R₁ (left resistor) = 5×(x)
= 5×0.15
= 0.75 V
voltage across the right one = z = 0.3 V
C)
The total voltage of battery = 0.75+0.3 = 1.05 V
To solve this problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to Snell's law.
Snell's law establishes that reflection is subject to
Where,
Angle between the normal surface at the point of contact
n = Indices of refraction for corresponding media
The total internal reflection would then be given by
Therefore the would be equal to
Therefore the largest value of the angle α is 30.27°
