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

When the pressure on a gas increases,what does the volume do?
kupik [55]

Answer:

As pressure goes up, volume goes down.

Explanation:

Pressure and volume of a gas are inversely proportional.  This means that as pressure goes up, volume goes down.  And as volume goes up, pressure goes down.

Cheers.

What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor
const2013 [10]

Complete Question

An athlete at the gym holds a 3.0 kg steel ball in his hand. His arm is 70 cm long and has a mass of 4.0 kg. Assume, a bit unrealistically, that the athlete's arm is uniform.

What is the magnitude of the torque about his shoulder if he holds his arm straight out to his side, parallel to the floor? Include the torque due to the steel ball, as well as the torque due to the arm's weight.

Answer:

The torque is  \tau = 34.3 \  N\cdot m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the steel ball is  m  =  3.0 \  kg

    The length of arm is  l =  70 \ cm  = 0.7 \  m

    The mass of the arm is m_a  = 4.0 \  kg

Given that the arm of the athlete is uniform them the distance from the shoulder to the center of gravity of the arm is mathematically represented as

       r = \frac{l}{2}

=>    r = \frac{ 0.7}{2}  

=>    r = 0.35 \ m  

Generally the magnitude of torque about the athlete shoulder is mathematically represented as

      \tau =  m_a * g * r  + m * g *  L

=>    \tau =  4 * 9.8 * 0.35 + 3 * 9.8 *  0.70

=>    \tau = 34.3 \  N\cdot m

Explain this quote "ambition beats genius 99% of the time. "
klasskru [66]

Answer:

The idea that hard work is the most important aspect of new inventions existed before Edison gave his quote, however.

The idea behind this quote is that it is easy to have a good idea, or a creative insight. However, to follow through with that idea, and turn it into a reality, takes a level of patience and dedication that few people have.

A certain material has a mass of 565 g while occupying 50 cm3 of space. What is this material?
EastWind [94]

<u>Answer:</u>

Lead

<u>Explanation:</u>

To get the density of the material, the formula would be:

mass divided by volume which is given by d = \frac { m } { v }.

Here in this problem, we are given a mass of 565 g which occupies a volume of 50 cm^3.

So plugging the data in the above formula to find the density:

Density = \frac { 565 } { 50 } = 11.3

From the table, we can see that the material is Lead which has a density of 11.3c/cm^3.

A piano wire with mass 2.60g and length 84.0 cm is stretched with a tension of 25.0 N. A wave with frequency 120.0 Hz and amplit
likoan [24]

Answer:

Power will be 0.2023 watt

And when amplitude is halved then power will be 0.0505 watt

Explanation:

We have given mass of the Piano wire m = 2.60 gram = 0.0026 kg

Length of wire l = 84 cm = 0.84 m

So mass density \mu =\frac{m}{l}=\frac{0.0026}{0.84}=0.0031kg/m

Tension in the wire T = 25 N

Frequency f = 120 Hz

So angular frequency \omega =2\pi f=2\times 3.14\times 120=753.6rad/sec

And amplitude A = 1.6 mm = 0.0016 m

We have to find the generated power

Power is given by P=\frac{1}{2}\sqrt{\mu T}\omega ^2A^2=\frac{1}{2}\times \sqrt{0.0031\times 25}\times 753.6^2\times 0.0016^2=0.2023watt

From the relation we can see that power P\ \propto\ A^2

So if amplitude is halved then power will be \frac{1}{4} times

So power will be equal to \frac{0.2023}{2}=0.0505watt
