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

he first having a mass of 260000 kg and a velocity of 0.32 m/s in the horizontal direction, and the second having a mass of 52500 kg and a velocity of -0.14 m/s in the horizontal direction. What is their final velocity?

Answer:

0.243 m/s

Explanation:

From law of conservation of motion,

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')................. Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first car, m' = mass of the second car, initial velocity of the first car, u' = initial velocity of the second car, V = Final velocity of both cars.

make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')................. Equation 2

Given: m = 260000 kg, u = 0.32 m/s, m' = 52500 kg, u' = -0.14 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (260000×0.32+52500×(-0.14))/(260000+52500)

V = (83200-7350)/312500

V = 75850/312500

V = 0.243 m/s

A 1090 kg car moving +11.0 m/s
stiks02 [169]

The mass of the second car is 1434.21 kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

Using law of conservation of momentum,

          m_{1} u_{1}+m_{2} u_{2}=\left(m_{1}+m_{2}\right) v

Given:

m_{1} = 1090 kg

u_{1} = 11 m/s

u_{2} = 0

v = 4.75 m/s

We need to find m_{2}

When substituting the given values in the above equation, we get

(1090 \times 11)+\left(m_{2} \times 0\right)=\left(1090+m_{2}\right) 4.75

11990=5177.5+4.75 m_{2}

4.75 m_{2}=11990-5177.5

4.75 m_{2}=6812.5

m_{2}=\frac{6812.5}{4.75}=1434.21 \mathrm{kg}

What exerts a centripetal force on a person running around a curve?
Eduardwww [97]

Answer:

The inertial force of the body

Explanation:

Everybody that is moving in a curved path has an inertial force called centrifugal force.

The counterforce of the centrifugal force is called the centripetal force. It also acts on every rotating body.

This force is always directed towards the center of the origin of the curve.

The velocity of the object changes its direction and magnitude at any instant of time. But the speed and angular velocity of the object remains the same for uniform circular motion.

So, according to the Newtonian mechanics, it is the inertial force of the body responsible for the centripetal force.

Which causes a rainbow in the sky?
Alina [70]
Sunlight (white light) refracts through droplets of water in the atmosphere and this causes a rainbow in the sky. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". The rainbow is caused by the reflection, refraction and dispersion of sunlight in water droplets that are present in the atmosphere.
