Answer:
The thrust is
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of gas,
The rate at which the gas is expelling,
We need to find the thrust produced by the gas.
We know that force is equal to the rate of change of momentum. So,
Also, p = mv
So,
So, the thrust is
Answer:
3.7 m/s
Explanation:
M = 444 kg
U = 5 m/s
m = 344 kg
u = - 5 m/s
Let the velocity of train is V and the car s v after the collision.
As the collision is elastic
By use of conservation of momentum
MU + mu = MV + mv
444 x 5 - 344 x 5 = 444 V + 344 v
500 = 444 V + 344 v
125 = 111 V + 86 v .... (1)
By using the formula of coefficient of restitution ( e = 1 for elastic collision)
-5 - 5 = V - v
V - v = - 10
v = V + 10
Substitute the value of v in equation (1)
125 = 111 V + 86 (V + 10)
125 = 197 V + 860
197 V = - 735
V = - 3.7 m/s
Thus, the speed of first car after collision is 3.7 m/s. negative sign shows that the direction is reverse as before the collision.
