You are a working for a rail company and are studying the effects of rain on open train cars. As a test case, you consider a 6,3

25 kg open train car rolling on frictionless rails at 27.4 m/s when it starts pouring rain. If 1,250 kg of rain fall into the train car over a few minutes, what will the car's speed become?

Answer:

<em>22.87 m/s</em>

<em></em>

Explanation:

mass of the train car = 6325 kg

velocity of the train = 27.4 m/s

mass of rain that falls into the train car = 1250 kg

the train car's final speed = ?

Initially, the train has a momentum of

momentum = (mass of train car) x (velocity of the train car)

momentum = 6325 x 27.4 = 173305 kg-m/s

When the mass of water falls into the train, the mass of the system increase to include that of the mass of the rain, but the momentum of the system remains the same according to the laws of conservation of linear momentum.

The new mas = (mass of train car) + (mass of rain)

==> 6325 + 1250 = 7575 kg

The final velocity of the system can be found by using the relationship

initial momentum = final momentum

Final momentum of the system = (final mass of the system) x (final velocity of the system)

==> 7575 x v = 7575v

where v is the final mass of the train car-rain system

Equating the final and initial momenta together, we have

173305 = 7575v

v = 173305/7575 = <em>22.87 m/s</em>

Terry can ride 30 miles in 2 hours. If his riding speed is
marishachu [46]

Answer:

Explanation:

Terry can ride at a speed of

V = 30 miles in 2hours

Speed = distance / time

V = 30 /2

V = 15 mile/hour

So, we want to know the distance traveled in 1.7hours

Then,

Speed = distane / time

Distance = speed × time

Distance =15 × 1.7

Distance = 25.5 miles

So, the distance traveled in 1.7hours is 25.5 miles

A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere
dmitriy555 [2]

Question: A 2.0 kg sphere with a velocity of 6.0 m/s collides head-on and elastically with a stationary 10 kg sphere, What is thier velocities after collision.

Answer:

v = 6 m/s, v' = 0 m/s

Explanation:

From the question,

For Elastic collision,

mu+m'u' = mv+m'v'......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the first sphere, m' = mass of the second sphere, u = initial velocity of the first sphere, u' = initial velocity of the second sphere, v = final veolocity of the first sphere, v' = final velocity of the second sphere.

Also,

The relative velocity before collision = relative velocity after collision

u-u' = v-v'............................ Equation 2

Given:  m = 2 kg, m' = 10 kg, u = 6 m/s, u' = 0 m/s

Substitute into equation 1 and 2

2(6)+10(0) = 2v+10v'

2v+10v' = 12.............. Equation 3

6-0 = v-v'

v-v' = 6 ................... Equation 4

Solve equation 3 and 4 simultaneously.

v = 6+v'............. Equation 5

Substitute equation 5 into equation 3

2(6+v')+10v' = 12

12+2v'+10v' = 12

12v' = 12-12

v' = 0/12

v' = 0 m/s.

Also substitute the value of v' into equation 5

v = 6+0

v = 6 m/s
