Answer:

time at which Kathy overtakes Stan is 6.70 sec

Explanation:

given data

time = 1 sec

acceleration= 3.4 m/s²

acceleration = 4.49  m/s²

to find out

the time at which Kathy overtakes Stan

solution

we consider here travel time for kathy = t1

and travel time for stan is = t2

and we know initial velocity = 0

so

t1 = 1 + t2

and distance travel equation by kinematic is

d1 = ut + \frac{1}{2} at²

d1 = 0+  \frac{1}{2} 4.49 (t2)²   ................1

and

d2 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} 3.4 (1+t2)²   ..................2

and when overtake distance same so  from equation 1 and 2

\frac{1}{2} 4.49 (t2)²  = \frac{1}{2} 3.4 (1+t2)²

t2 = 6.703828 sec

so time at which Kathy overtakes Stan is 6.70 sec

Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t
wolverine [178]

Answer:

final velocity =  0.08585m/s

Explanation:

We are taking train cars as our system. In this system no external force is acting. So we can apply the law of conservation of linear momentum.

The law of conservation of linear momentum states that the total linear momentum of a system remains constant if there is no external force acting on the system. That is total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

total linear momentum before = linear momentum of first train car + linear momentum of second train car

We know that linear momentum = mv

where,

m = mass

v = velocity

thus,

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

m₁ = mass of first train car = 135,000kg

v₁ = velocity of first train car = 0.305m/s

m₂ = mass of first second car =  100,000kg

v₂ = velocity of second train car =  −0.210m/s

Note: Momentum is a vector. So while adding momentum we should take account of its direction too. Here since second train car is moving in a direction opposite to that of the first one, we have taken its velocity as negative.

total linear momentum before = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 + 100,000x(−0.210)

                                                  = 135,000x0.305 - 100,000x0.210

                                                  = 20,175 kgm/s

Now we have to find total linear momentum after bumping. After the bumping both the train cars will be moving together with a common velocity(say v).

Therefore, total linear momentum after = mv

m = m₁ + m₂ = 135,000 + 100,000 = 235,000

total linear momentum before = total linear momentum after

235,000v = 20,175

v =  \frac{20,175}{235,000}

  = 0.08585m/s

The conversion of potential energy in coal into the kinetic energy that heats steam is an expression of: Answer the first law of
erastova [34]

Let me think about this........ correct me if I am wrong....... Laws of thermodynamics 1) Energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It is transferred. 2) All spontaneous reactions will increased the entropy of the universe (More disorder) 3) The entropy of the crystal lattice structure at 0 K is zero PE(coal) --> Steam(K.E) ................ This will increase entropy and also conversion of energy. So BOTH LAWS is my final answer. Wait...... I would like to use a lifelines...... I want to phone my Physical chem professor. *Ring Ring.........* Me: Hello, I wanted to make sure if I got the correct answer. Chem prof: You dont need my help, since you got the right answer. Me: WOOT!!!!!!!
