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

It takes a minimum distance of 41.14 m to stop a car moving at 11.0 m/s by applying the brakes (without locking the wheels). Ass
padilas [110]

Answer:

Find the time it took for the car to stop at 11.0m/s

V = deltax/t

t = 41.14/11.0 = 3.74s

Now find at what rate it was decelerating, so find the acceleration during that interval of time.

vf = vi + at

-11.0m/s = a3.74s

a = -2.94m/s^2

The acceleration is negative because is pulling the car towards its opposite direction to make it stop.

Now find how much time it would take for the car to stop at 28.0m/s but with the same acceleration, the car is the same so its acceleration to stop the car will remain the same.

vf = vi + at

0 = 28.0 - 2.94t

t = 9.52

Once the time is obtained, you can find the final position, xf, by plugging the time acceleration and velocity values.

xf = 0 + (28m/s)(9.52s) + 1/2(-2.94)(9.52s)^2

xf = 266.6m - 133.23m = 133m

Two blocks, stacked one on top of the other, slide on a frictionless horizontal surface. The surface between the two blocks is r
devlian [24]

Answer:

F_{net} = 31.88 N

Explanation:

When top block is just or about to slide on the lower block then we can say that the frictional force on it will be maximum static friction

So we will have

F_{net} = ma

F_s = ma

\mu_s mg = ma

a = \mu_s g

a = (0.50)(9.81)

a = 4.905 m/s^2

now for the Net force on two blocks to move together

F_{net} = (m_1 + m_2) a

F_{net} = (2.3 + 4.2)(4.905)

F_{net} = 31.88 N

We have compared the Terrestrial Planets and the Giant or Jovian Planets, but when we look at the 4 Giant Planets we can see tha
Ksivusya [100]

Answer:

i. Magnetic fields

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud.

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours.

Explanation:

The Jovian planets is different from terrestrial planets in so many ways. The Jovian planets includes Jupiter , Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

The major similarities shared by all of these 4 planets includes

i. Magnetic fields: Each of this Jovian planets have a strong magnetic field and are generated by electric currents in its rapidly sniping interior. The magnetosphere which is the region at which the planet magnetic field dominates is far more stronger in Jupiter than other Jovian planets . Although the magnetic field of Saturn , Neptune and Uranus works in similar way to Jupiter  but are less stronger.

ii. All 4 planets in appearance have deeper atmospheres and darker cloud. The  uppermost clouds of Jupiter and Saturn has more of ammonia crystals .The upper cloud of Neptune is composed of methane, The cloud of  Uranus is deep.  

iii. All the 4 Jovian planets rotates very quickly, with a range of 10 to 17 hours. The rotation period of Jupiter is the shortest among the Jovian planets which is around 9 hours 55 minutes. The rotation period of Neptune and Uranus take longer time than the other 2 Jovian planets( a little above 17 hours).
