A railroad car whose mass is 30,000. kg is traveling with a velocity of 2.2 m/s due east and collides with a second railroad car

whose mass is also 30,000. kg and is at rest. If the two cars stick together after the collision, what is the velocity of the two cars?

Answer:

V = 1.1 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of railroad car 1 , m =  30,000. kg

travelling at the speed , u = 2.2 m/s

mass of car 2, M =  30,000. kg

initial speed, u' = 0 m/s

final speed of the car after collision, V = ?

using conservation of momentum

  m u + M u' =  (M+m)V

 30000 x 2.2 + 0 = (30000 + 30000) V

  60000 V = 66000

  V= \dfrac{66000}{60000}

          V = 1.1 m/s

he velocity of the two cars is equal to V = 1.1 m/s

A bird has a kinetic energy of 3 J and a potential energy of 25 J. What is the mechanical energy of the bird?
Ahat [919]

Answer:

28 J

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the sum of kinetic and potential energy in an object that is used to do work. In other words, it is energy in an object due to its motion or position, or both.

In physics, mechanical energy (Emech) is the energy associated with the motion and position of an object usually in some force field.

Therefore:

ME = KE + PE = 25 + 3 = 28 J

Oceans have a major effect on global climate because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat. How does the heat absorpt
Goshia [24]

The ocean doesn't just store solar radiation; it also helps to distribute heat around the globe. When water molecules are heated, they exchange freely with the air in a process called evaporation. Ocean water is constantly evaporating, increasing the temperature and humidity of the surrounding air to form rain and storms that are then carried by trade winds, often vast distances. In fact, almost all rain that falls on land starts off in the ocean. The tropics are particularly rainy because heat absorption, and thus ocean evaporation, is highest in this area.

i hope this if not sorry

A student standing on the ground throws a ball straight up. The ball leaves the student's hand with a speed of 13.0 m/s when the
My name is Ann [436]

Answer:

2.82 s

Explanation:

The ball will be subject to the acceleration of gravity which can be considered constant. Therefore we can use the equation for uniformly accelerated movement:

Y(t) = Y0 + Vy0 * t + 1/2 * a * t^2

Y0 is the starting position, 2.3 m in this case.

Vy0 is the starting speed, 13 m/s.

a will be the acceleration of gravity, -9.81 m/s^2, negative because it points down.

Y(t) = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

It will reach the ground when Y(t) = 0

0 = 2.3 + 13 * t - 1/2 * 9.81 * t^2

-4.9 * t^2 + 13 * t + 2.3 = 0

Solving this equation electronically gives two results:

t1 = 2.82 s

t2 = -0.17 s

We disregard the negative solution. The ball spends 2.82 seconds in the air.
