Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Recall that one of the equations of motions can be written:

v = u + at, (also see attached for reference)

Where,

v = final speed (we are asked to find this)

u = initial speed = 0 (because it starts from rest)

t = time taken = 5s

We simply substitute the given values into the equation:

v = u + at

v = 0 + (4)(5)

v = 20 m/s

A railroad car moving at a speed of 3.46 m/s overtakes, collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars moving in the same d

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

$2.09\ \text{m/s}$

$22298.4\ \text{J}$

Explanation:

m = Mass of each the cars = $1.6\times 10^4\ \text{kg}$

$u_1$ = Initial velocity of first car = 3.46 m/s

$u_2$ = Initial velocity of the other two cars = 1.4 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As the momentum is conserved in the system we have

$mu_1+2mu_2=3mv\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{u_1+2u_2}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=\dfrac{3.46+2\times 1.4}{3}\\\Rightarrow v=2.09\ \text{m/s}$

Speed of the three coupled cars after the collision is $2.09\ \text{m/s}$ .

As energy in the system is conserved we have

$K=\dfrac{1}{2}mu_1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}2mu_2^2-\dfrac{1}{2}3mv^2\\\Rightarrow K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 3.46^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 2\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 1.4^2-\dfrac{1}{2}\times 3\times 1.6\times 10^4\times 2.09^2\\\Rightarrow K=22298.4\ \text{J}$

The kinetic energy lost during the collision is $22298.4\ \text{J}$ .

Two resistors, A and B, are connected in series to a 6.0 V battery. A voltmeter connected across resistor A measures a potential

mestny [16]

Answer:

Resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Explanation:

When the two resistors are in series, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B.

Given that V₁ + V₂ = 6.0 V and V₁ = 4.0 V,

V₂ = 6.0 V - V₁ = 6.0 V - 4.0 V = 2.0 V

Also, let the current in series be I.

So, V₁ = IR₁ and V₂ = IR₂

I = V₁/R₁ and I = V₂/R₂

equating both expressions, we have

V₁/R₁ = V₂/R₂

4.0 V/R₁ = 2.0 V/R₂

dividing through by 2.0 V, we have

2/R₁ = 1/R₂

taking the reciprocal, we have

R₂ = R₁/2

R₁ = 2R₂

From the parallel connection, let V₁ = voltage in resistor A and R₁ = resistance of resistor A and V₂ = voltage in resistor B and R₂ = resistance of resistor B. Since it is parallel, V₁ = V₂ = V = 6.0 V

Also, V₂ = I₂R₂ where I₂ = current in resistor B = 2.0 A and R₂ = resistance of resistor B

So, R₂ = V₂/I₂

= 6.0 V/2.0 A

= 3.0 Ω

R₁ = 2R₂

= 2(3.0 Ω)

= 6.0 Ω

So, resistance of resistor A = 6.0 Ω and resistance of resistor B = 3.0 Ω

Two sealed 1 l containers full of gas are at room temperature. Container a has a pressure of 4 atm and container b has a pressur

loris [4]

Answer:

The number density of the gas in container A is twice the number density of the gas in container B.

Explanation:

Here we have

P·V =n·R·T

n = P·V/(RT)

Therefore since V₁ = V₂ and T₁ = T₂

n₁ = P₁V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ = P₂V₂/(RT₂)

P₁ = 4 atm

P₂ = 2 atm

n₁ = 4V₁/(RT₁)

n₂ =2·V₁/(RT₁)

∴ n₁ = 2 × n₂

Therefore, the number of moles in container A is two times that in container B and the number density of the gas in container A is two times the number density in container B.

This can be shown based on the fact that the pressure of the container is due to the collision of the gas molecules on the walls of the container, with a kinetic energy that is dependent on temperature and mass, and since the temperature is constant, then the mass of container B is twice that of A and therefore, the number density of container A is twice that of B.
