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

19. A 0.0340 kg bullet traveling at 120 m/s embeds itself in a 1.24 kg wooden block which
Blababa [14]

Answer: x ≈ 36.3 cm

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum during the collision

0.0340(120) + 1.24(0) = (0.0340 + 1.24) v

v = 3.2025 m/s

The kinetic energy of the block/bullet mass will convert to spring potential

½kx² = ½mv²

x = √(mv²/k)

x = √(1.274(3.2025²) / 99.0)

x = 0.363293... ≈ 36.3 cm

. A water balloon is thrown horizontally at a speed of 2.00 m/s from the roof of a building that is 6.00m above the ground. At t
dedylja [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

Height of building

H = 6m

Horizontal speed of first balloon

U1x = 2m/s

Second ballot is thrown straight downward at a speed of

U2y = 2m/s

Time each gallon hits the ground

Balloon 1.

Using equation of free fall

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

Uox = 0 since the body does not have vertical component of velocity

6 = ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 4.9t²

t² = 6 / 4.9

t² = 1.224

t = √1.224

t = 1.11 seconds

For second balloon

H = Uoy•t + ½gt²

6 = 2t + ½ × 9.8t²

6 = 2t + 4.9t²

4.9t² + 2t —6 = 0

Using formula method to solve the quadratic equation

Check attachment

From the solution we see that,

t = 0.9211 and t = -1.329

We will discard the negative value of time since time can't be negative here

So the second balloon get to the ground after t ≈ 0.92 seconds

Conclusion

The water ballon that was thrown straight down at 2.00 m/s hits the ground first by 1.11 s - 0.92s = 0.19 s.
