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 Carnot heat engine has an efficiency of 0.400. If it operates between a deep lake with a constant temperature of 298.0k and a
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

496.7 K

Explanation:

The efficiency of a Carnot engine is given by the equation:

\eta = 1 - \frac{T_H}{T_L}

where:

T_H is the temperature of the hot reservoir

T_C is the temperature of the cold reservoir

For the engine in the problem, we know that

\eta = 0.400 is the efficiency

T_C = 298.0 K is the temperature of the cold reservoir

Solving for T_H, we find:

\frac{T_C}{T_H}=1-\eta\\T_H = \frac{T_C}{1-\eta} =\frac{298.0}{1-0.400}=496.7 K

Explain the movement in the sky​
Montano1993 [528]

The motion of planets is separate to the motion of stars. Like everything in the sky, they rise in the east, and set in the west, because of the earth's rotation. But night by night, their position at a given time changes because of their orbit around the sun.

At 19 ºC a volume of air takes us 9.0 mL in an expandable container. What is its volume after it is heated up to 50. ºC?
Katena32 [7]
According to Charles law, we know, at constant pressure, volume is directly proportional to temperature. 
So, <span>V/T = constant 
</span>
V₁/t₁ = V₂/t₂
V₁t₂ = V₂t₁

Here, we have: V₁ = 9 mL
V₂ = ?
T₂ = 50+272 = 323 K
T₁ = 19+273 = 292 K

Substitute their values into the expression:
9 × 323 = V₂ × 292
V₂ = 2907 / 292
V₂ = 9.95
After rounding-off to unit place value, it would be equal to 10 mL

So, In short Option C would be your correct answer.

Hope this helps!

A square current-carrying loop is placed in a uniform magnetic field B with the plane of the loop parallel to the magnetic field
Radda [10]

Answer:

(A) a net torque but no net force on the loop.

Explanation:

The total force on the loop is zero because the forces on the opposite sides of the loop are equal but act in opposite directions and as a result they cancel each other out. The two forces on opposite sides to the axis of rotation each give rise to a torque about the axis of rotation. This torque is directed along the axis of rotation.
