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

Define mass defect and binding energy​
natima [27]

Answer:

About Transcript. Nuclear binding energy is the energy required to split an atom's nucleus into protons and neutrons. Mass defect is the difference between the predicted mass and the actual mass of an atom's nucleus. The binding energy of a system can appear as extra mass, which accounts for this difference.

When you encounter a yellow light as you approach an intersection what is the safest approach to take?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
This isn't a physics question really, but you should slow down unless you don't believe you can stop in time or don't believe it is safe to stop quickly (say you see someone driving very close behind you and you don't think they're paying attention). In general, if you think that by staying at your current speed your back tires will cross the ending lines of the intersection by the time the light turns red, it is safe to go through the yellow light. However, this is a thing you'll develop a feel for as you're driving, when in doubt, just slow down, just watch slamming on your breaks if there is someone behind you, sometimes people will see the yellow light when they're behind you and they'll speed up behind you so they'll "make it" before the light turns yellow. While this isn't illegal, since they're not technically running the red light, you should never speed up going up to a yellow light, if you need to speed up to make it before it turns red, you shouldn't make the light, just stop, this is especially bad if someone is directly in front of you and is likely to stop at the yellow light while the person behind them speeds up. This causes a lot of accidents.
