In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

38. You are fishing and catch a fish with a mass of
adoni [48]

Answer:

1.7333333m/s²

Explanation:

Tension of the line = the weight + force from pulling up the fish

30N = mg + ma

30 = (6)(9.8) + (6)a

10.4 = 6a

∴ a = 1.7333333m/s²

Electrons and protons travel from the Sun to the Earth at a typical velocity of 3.83 ✕ 105 m/s in the positive x-direction. Thou
Leona [35]

Answer:

F=2.84*10^{-26}N  & -y direction

F=2.84*10^{-26}N & +y direction

Explanation:

From the question we are told that:

Speed of electron V_e=3.83 * 10^5 m/s +x direction

Earths magnetic field B_e=3.04 * 10^-^8 +z direction

a)

Generally the equation for magnetic force F_m is mathematically given by

F=q(V_e*B_e)

where

q=1.6*10^{-19}c\\\=i*\=z=-\=j

F=1.6*10^{-19}(3.83 * 10^5 m/s*3.04 * 10^-^8)

F=1.6*10^{-19}(3.83 * 10^5 m/s*3.04 * 10^-^8)

F=-2.84*10^{-26}N \=j

Magnitude & Direction

F=2.84*10^{-26}N  -y direction

b)

Generally the equation for magnitude and direction of the magnetic force on an electron. is mathematically given by

\=F'=-1.6*10^{-19}(3.83 * 10^5 m/s*3.04 * 10^-^8)

\=F'=-2.84*10^{-26}N \=j

Magnitude & Direction

F=2.84*10^{-26}N & +y direction

A 45.0-N force pushes a cart 12.5 meters down a hallway. What is the work done on the cart?
makvit [3.9K]

Answer:

562.5J

Explanation:

The following were obtained from the question:

F = 45N

d = 12.5m

w =?

The work done can be achieved by using

w = F x d

w = 45 x 12.5

w = 562.5J

-. A 2kg cart moving to the right at 5m/s collides with an 8kg cart at rest. As a
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

<em>The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s</em>

Explanation:

<u>Law Of Conservation Of Linear Momentum </u>

The total momentum of a system of bodies is conserved unless an external force is applied to it. The formula for the momentum of a body with mass m and speed v is  

P=mv.  

If we have a system of bodies, then the total momentum is the sum of the individual momentums:

P=m_1v_1+m_2v_2+...+m_nv_n

If a collision occurs and the velocities change to v', the final momentum is:

P'=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2+...+m_nv'_n

Since the total momentum is conserved, then:

P = P'

In a system of two masses, the equation simplifies to:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v'_1+m_2v'_2

If both masses stick together after the collision at a common speed v', then:

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v'

The common velocity after this situation is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{m_1v_1+m_2v_2}{m_1+m_2}

The m1=2 kg cart is moving to the right at v1=5 m/s. It collides with an m2= 8 kg cart at rest (v2=0). Knowing they stick together after the collision, the common speed is:

\displaystyle v'=\frac{2*5+8*0}{2+8}=\frac{10}{10}=1

The velocity of the carts after the event is 1 m/s
