uppose two train cars are moving toward one another, the first with a mass of 150,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s; the second

with a mass of 110,000 kg and a velocity of -0.120 m/s. what is their velocity just after they become coupled?

The value was determined to be 0.122 m/s. The velocity of a body or object determines its direction of motion. Speed is a scalar quantity in its most fundamental form.

Velocity is essentially a vector quantity. It is the rate of change in distance. The initial speed of the first train, which has a mass of 150,000 kg, is 0.3 m/s. The second train has an initial speed of -0.120 m/s and a mass of 110,000 kg.

Let v represent the post-collision speed of the connected mass.

Utilize the idea of momentum.

The speed of the trains is constant both before and after a collision.

150.000 + 110.000v 45.000 - 13200 = 260.000 v 31800 = 260.000 v v = 0.122 m/s 150000 x 0.3 - 110000 x 0.120

After colliding, they move at a speed of 0.122 m/s towards the direction of the right.

Why is it not posible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum???
Montano1993 [528]
It is not possible to see the other waves on the electromagnetic spectrum because only other species can see the other parts of the spectrum because they have different components in their eyes than we do, therefore, only allowing us to see a
portion of the spectrum, which is visible light.

Why is it important to know the direction of the force applied to a moving object and the direction in which the object is movin
ELEN [110]
C is correct.  The work-force relation is given by W=F·d, where F is force vector, and d is the displacement vector.  The dot is the dot product, which is a measure of how parallel the two vectors are.  It can be restated as the product of two vector magnitudes times the cosine of the angle between them.  Therefore work is a scalar, not a vector, since the dot product returns a scalar.
