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>

When you rub a balloon on a sweater, for example, some electrons come off and end up on the balloon. The fibers have lost electrons giving them a positive charge. The rubber gained electrons giving it a negative charge. ... The positively charged fibers are now attracted to the negatively charged balloon.

How many neutrons does element X have if its atomic number is 48 and its mass number is 167?
lys-0071 [83]
If its atomic number is 48, then it has 48 protons in the nucleus
of each atom.  Any more mass than that is supplied by the neutrons
that are mixed in there with the protons.

If the mass is 167, and 48 of those are protons, then there are

             (167 - 48)  =  119 neutrons

in each nucleus.

When a 0.350-kg package is attached to a vertical spring and lowered slowly, the spring stretches 12.0 cm. The package is now di
AleksandrR [38]

To solve the problem it is necessary to use the concepts related to the calculation of periods by means of a spring constant.

We know that by Hooke's law

F=kx

Where,

k = Spring constant

x = Displacement

Re-arrange to find k,

k= \frac{F}{x}

k= \frac{mg}{x}

k= \frac{(0.35)(9.8)}{12*10^{-2}}

k = 28.58N/m

Perioricity in an elastic body is defined by

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{m}{k}}

Where,

m = Mass

k = Spring constant

T = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{0.35}{28.58}}

T = 0.685s

Therefore the period of the oscillations is 0.685s

An electromagnetic wave has a frequency of 4.0 x 1018 Hz. What is the
trapecia [35]

Answer: D

Wavelength λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Explanation:

You are given the frequency of an electromagnetic wave to be:

F = 4.0 x 1018 Hz. And the speed of light C to be

C = 3 × 10^8 m/s

From wave speed formula:

Wave speed is the product of waves frequency and wavelength. That is,

V = fλ

Where

f = frequency

λ = wavelength

V = C = speed of light

Substitute the values of the parameters into the formula

C = fλ

3 × 10^8 = 4 × 10^18 × λ

Make λ the subject of formula

λ = (3×10^8)/(4×10^18)

λ = 7.5 × 10^-11 m

Therefore, the wavelength of the wave is 7.5 × 10^-11 m
