A 25,000 kg traveling east collides with a 2,000 kg truck standing still on the tracks. After the collision the train and truck
Elis [28]

Answer:

24.084 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of linear momentum

Total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision

Since momentum=mv where m is mass and v is velocity

M_{truck}V_{truck}=V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing}) where M_{truck} is the mass of the truck, V_{truck} is velocity of the truck, V_{common} is the common velocity of moving and standing truck after collision and M_{standing} is the mass of the standing truck

Making V_{truck} the subject we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { V_{common}*(M_{truck} +M_{standing})}{M_{truck}}

Substituting M_{truck} as 25000 Kg, V_{common} as 22.3 m/s, M_{standing} as 2000 Kg we obtain

V_{truck}=\frac { 22.3 m/s *(25000 Kg +2000 Kg)}{25000}= 24.084 m/s

Therefore, assuming no friction and considering that after collision they still move eastwards hence common velocity and initial truck velocities are positive

The truck was moving at 24.084 m/s

How far can a sound wave travel in 90 seconds when the ambient air temperature is 10 C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the speed of sound at the given temperature. For this purpose we use the following formula:

v = v₀√[T/273 k]

where,

v = speed of sound at given temperature = ?

v₀ = speed of sound at 0°C = 331 m/s

T = Given Temperature = 10°C + 273 = 283 k

Therefore,

v = (331 m/s)√[283 k/273 k]

v = 337 m/s

Now, we use the following formula to calculate the distance traveled  by sound:

s = vt

where,

s = distance traveled = ?

t = time taken = 90 s

Therefore,

s = (337 m/s)(90 s)

<u>s = 30330.7 m = 30.33 km</u>

A projectile falls beneath the straight-line path it would follow if there were no gravity. How many meters does it fall below t
maria [59]

Answer:

Explanation:

Suppose v is the initial velocity and \theta is the angle of inclination

distance traveled in vertical direction in t=1 s

When gravity is present

y=vt+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=vertical\ distance

a=acceleration

t=time

v=initial\ velocity

here initial velocity is v\sin \theta [/tex] so

y=v\sin \theta \times 1-\frac{1}{2}gt^2

y=v\sin \theta -0.5g

In absence of gravity

y_2=v\sin \theta \times t

y_2=v\sin \theta \times 1

\Delta y=y_2-y=v\sin \theta -v\sin \theta +0.5 g=4.9\ m

Ad libitum [116K]

A "screen" or even just a set of parallel bars are highly reflective to electromagnetic waves as long as the open spaces are small compared to the wavelengths.

"Grid" dishes work fine ... with less weight and less wind resistance ... for frequencies below about 3 GHz. (Wavelengths of at least 10 cm.)

(I even worked on a microwave system in South America where huge grid dishes were used on a 90-mile link.)
