Answer:

v = 10.21 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 7150 kg

Mass of the load, m₂ = 3350 kg

It can be assumed as the speed of the car, u₁ = 15 m/s

Initially, it is at rest, u₂ = 0

Let v is the speed of the car. It can be calculated using the conservation of momentum as :

$m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)v$

$v=\dfrac{m_1u_1}{m_1+m_2}$

$v=\dfrac{7150\times 15}{7150+3350}$

v = 10.21 m/s

So, the new speed of the car is 10.21 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

What is the magnitude of velocity for a 2,000 kg car possessing 3,000 kg(*)m/s of momentum?

Trava [24]

The magnitude of velocity for this car is equal to 1.5 m/s.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Momentum of car = 3,000 kgm/s.

Mass of car = 2,000 kg.

To calculate the magnitude of velocity for this car:

<h3>What is momentum?</h3>

In Science, momentum simply means a multiplication of the mass of an object and its velocity.

Mathematically, momentum is giving by the formula;

$Momentum = mass \times velocity$

Making velocity the subject of formula, we have:

$Velocity=\frac{Momentum}{Mass}$

Substituting the given parameters into the formula, we have;

$Velocity=\frac{3000}{2000}$

Velocity = 1.5 m/s.

A boat is able to move through still water at 20 m/s. It makes a round trip to a town 3.0 km upstream. If the river flows at 5m/

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Option e) 320 s

Explanation:

Here, distance = 3.0 km = 3000 m

The velocity of boat when it is going upstream;

Upstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water - velocity of river flow

So, Upstream velocity $=20m/s-5m/s=15m/s$

So,Time to go upstream

$(t_{1}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{15m/s} =200 s$

The velocity of boat when it is going downstream;

Downstream velocity = velocity of boat in still water + velocity of river flow

So, Downstream velocity $=20m/s+5m/s=25m/s$

So,Time to go downstream

$(t_{2}) =\frac{Distance}{Velocity}=\frac{3000m}{25m/s} =120 s$

So, total time (t) = $t_{1}+t_{2}=200s+120 s=320s$

Option E is the correct answer.

A beam of light from a laser illuminates a glass how long will a short pulse of light beam take to travel the length of the glas

Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The time of short pulse of light beam is $2.37\times10^{-9}\ sec$

Explanation:

Given that,

A beam of light from a laser illuminates a glass.

Suppose, the length of piece is $L=25.21\times10^{-2}\ m$

Index of refraction is 2.83.

We need to calculate the speed of light pulse in glass

Using formula of speed

$v=\dfrac{c}{\mu}$

Put the value into the formula

$v=\dfrac{3\times10^{8}}{2.83}$

$v=1.06\times10^{8}\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time of short pulse of light beam

Using formula of velocity

$v=\dfrac{d}{t}$

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

Put the value into the formula

$t=\dfrac{25.21\times10^{-2}}{1.06\times10^{8}}$

$t=2.37\times10^{-9}\ sec$

Hence, The time of short pulse of light beam is $2.37\times10^{-9}\ sec$
