A train is accelerating at a rate of 2 km/hr/s.  If its initial velocity is 20 km/hr, what is its velocity after 30 seconds?

Aleksandr [31]4 years ago

"2 km/hr/s" means that in each second, its engines can increase its speed by 2 km/hr.

If it keeps doing that for 30 seconds, its speed has increased by 60 km/hr.

On top of the initial speed of 20 km/hr, that's 80 km/hr at the end of the 30 seconds.

This whole discussion is of <em>speed</em>, not velocity. Surely, in high school physics,
you've learned the difference by now. There's no information in the question that
says anything about the train's <em>direction</em>, and it was wrong to mention velocity in
the question.  This whole thing could have been taking place on a curved section
of track. If that were the case, it would have taken a team of ace engineers, cranking
their Curtas, to describe what was happening to the velocity.  Better to just stick with
speed.

Tomtit [17]

Option(a)  the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1 is the right answer.

The mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1  is correct about the mass of cart 2.

Let's demonstrate the issue using variables:

Let,

m1=mass of cart 1

m2=mass of cart 2

v1 = velocity of cart 1 before collision

v2 = velocity of cart 2 before collision

v' = velocity of the carts after collision

Using the conservation of momentum for perfectly inelastic collisions:

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v'

v2 = 0 because it is stationary

v' = 1/3*v1

m1v1 = (m1+m2)(1/3)(v1)

m1 = 1/3*m1 + 1/3*m2

1/3*m2 = m1 - 1/3*m1

1/3*m2 = 2/3*m1

m2 = 2m1

From this we can conclude that the mass of cart 2 is twice that of the mass of cart 1.

Select the phrases that correctly describe density. Density is a chemical property. Density relates a mass to its volume. Densit
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

Density relates a mass to its volume.

Density varies with temperature

Density determines if a substance floats or sinks.

Density may have units of grams per milliliter (g/mL)

Explanation:

Density D is a characteristic property of a substance or material and is defined as the relationship between the mass m of a body or substance and the volume V it occupies:

D=\frac{m}{V}

This means the density is inversely proportional to the volume.

On the other hand, density is a scalar quantity and according to the International System of Units its unit is D=\frac{kg}{m^{3}} , although it can be also expressed in \frac{g}{ml}.

It should be noted that the density of a body is related to its buoyancy, a substance or body will float on another fluid if its density is lower. In addition, if the pressure of the substance remains constant, as the temperature increases, the density decreases; this means density varies with the temperature as well.
