An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed

northbound on the same track at 1 m/s. The faster train bumps into the slower one, and they combine into one train. What is the velocity of the two-car train?

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be m_1 and it's velocity be v_1 and the mass of 1500 kg car be m_2 and it's velocity be v_2 .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

     By law of conservation of momentum we have

                   m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV

                    2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

                    V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

The mass of the Sun is 1. 99 × 1030 kg. Jupiter is 7. 79 × 108 km away from the Sun and has a mass of 1. 90 × 1027 kg. The gravi
german

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects having mass. The gravitational force will be 4.16\times10^{23}.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

                      F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }

Given,

mass of the sun (m_1)= 1.99\times10^{23} kg

mass of Jupiter(m_2)= 7.79\times10^{8} kg

distance between the sun and Jupiter (r)= 1.90\times10^{27} m

F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }\\\\\\F=4.16\times10^{23}\times\frac{1.99\times10^{23}\times7.79\times10^{8}}{({1.90\times10^{27})^2} }

F= 4.16\times(10)^{23}   Newton

Hence the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter will be 4.16\times10^{23}
