A railroad hopper car filled with sand is rolling with an initial speed of 15.0 m/s on straight horizontal tracks. Ignore fricti

onal forces on the railroad car. The total mass of the car plus sand is 89000 kg. The hopper door is not fully closed, so sand leaks out the bottom. After 20 min, 17000 kg of sand leaked out. What then is the speed of the railroad car?

Answer:

v=18.54167 m/s

Explanation:

the law of linear momentum conservation says that when the resultant force in an object is null, the linear momentum is constant over time, so in accordance the paragrapfh the railroad car is moving and the forces acting on it is the weight and the normal force, so we can say that the resultant force on the railroad car are equal to zero

So, the linear momentum can be written

V_{1}*m_{1}=  V_{2}*m_{2}

V_{1}= 15m/s

m1= 89000 kg

To the m2 we subtract the weight of sand that leak out

m2= 89000 kg - 17000 kg =72 000 kg

V_{2}=\frac{89000*15}{72000}

V_{2}= 18.54167 m/s

When the two surfaces of a thin film are parallel and the light is incident at some angle what fringes are formed? A. Circular B
lord [1]

Answer:

The correct option is;

A. Circular

Explanation:

Some of the light that impinges on the surface are reflected and the rest are transmitted to a different medium

At the surface of the next medium also, some of the light are transmitted while the others are reflected and refracted through the first medium

The speed of light (and hence the wavelength and color) refracted through the thin film is changed as the distance the refracted light travels through the thin film is increased as we move away from the point directly in the front view to some distance as the reflected light path from those distance to the eye is increased due to their inclination giving them a different wavelength which are all equal at a radial distance from the eye hence forming a circular fringes.

Which two particles in an atom are equal in number
Lemur [1.5K]
If you mean in mass, then the mass of one proton is approximately equal to the mass on one neutron. If you mean how many of each, then the number of protons is equal to the number of electrons. If the number of electrons was different from the number of protons, then you'd have an ion. An ion with a positive charge is a cation, and an ion with a negative charge is an anion.

Newton’s Second law of Motion (F = ma) is one of the basis of forces and motion. How is it very similar to his First law and why
koban [17]

Answer:

First law can be deduced from second law.

Acceleration may determine the position and velocity of the system.

Explanation:

When net force is zero, the second law is 0 = ma, or the motion is at constant speed. Thus first law establishes that when there are no forces, the object moves at constant speed, so first law is explained by using the second.

If you determine the acceleration of a system, you may use calculus or kinematic equations to determine velocity and position of the particle and determine how it moves. This is very important in mechanics and engineering, for example, for spacecrafts, forensic situations, etc.
