This problem can be assume that the two railroad cars are moving  toward each other, and not in opposite direction, because of the condition of an head collision.

Given: Mass of Car₁ = 6,500 Kg;  Mass of Car₂ = 6,500 Kg

           Velocity of each Car  V = 80 Km/h or 22.22 m/s

 Required: Thermal energy or Total Kinetic energy

Formula: K.E = 1/2 MV²

Solution: Total Kinetic energy or  Tke  = (1/2 MV²)car₁ + (1/2 MV²)car₂

Tke = 1/2 (6,500 Kg)(22.22 m/s)² + 1/2 (6,500 Kg)(22.22 m/s)²

Total Thermal energy or Tke = 3,209 Joules

Could I get help on this question please . My parents won’t help me /:
vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Height (h) of cliff = 2.8 m

Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s

Final velocity (v) =?

NOTE: Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²

Finally, we shall determine how fast (i.e final velocity) Tarzan will be moving at the bottom. This can be obtained as follow:

v² = u² + 2gh

v² = 0² + (2 × 9.8 × 2.8)

v² = 0 + 54.88

v² = 54.88

Take the square root of both side

v = √54.88

v = 7.4 m/s

Therefore, Tarzan will be moving at 7.4 m/s at the bottom.

Which statement is an example of the law of conservation of energy
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

The law of conservation of energy can be seen in these everyday examples of energy transference: Water can produce electricity. Water falls from the sky, converting potential energy to kinetic energy. This energy is then used to rotate the turbine of a generator to produce electricity.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

a. a black hole

Explanation:

X-ray emission from the central degrees of the Milky Way Bright X-ray emission traces the coherent edge brightened shell-like feature, dubbed the northern chimney, located north of Sgr A* and characterized by a diameter of about 160 pc. On the opposite side, the southern chimney appears as a bright linear feature. Bright X-ray emission is observed at high latitude
