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>

Which law of motion describes squeal and oppisit forces of action and reaction​
Rom4ik [11]

These two forces are called action and reaction forces and are the subject of Newton's third law of motion. Formally stated, Newton's third law is: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. The statement means that in every interaction, there is a pair of forces acting on the two interacting objects.


Hope this helps! :)

He throws a second ball (B2) upward with the same initial velocity at the instant that the first ball is at the ceiling. c. How
Gwar [14]

Answer:

hello your question has some missing parts

A juggler performs in a room whose ceiling is 3 m above the level of his hands. He throws a ball vertically upward so that it just reaches the ceiling.

answer : c) 0.39 sec

               d)  2.25 m

               e) 1.92 m/sec

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the first ball = 7.67 m/sec ( calculated )

Time required for first ball to reach ceiling = 0.78 secs ( calculated )

Determine how long after the second ball is thrown do the two balls pass each other

Distance travelled by first ball downwards when it meets second ball can be expressed as : d = 1/2 gt^2 =  9.8t^2 / 2

hence d = 4.9t^2  ----- ( 1 )

Initial speed of second ball = first ball initial speed = 7.67 m/sec

3 - d = 7.67t - 4.9t  ---- ( 2 )

equating equation 1 and 2

3 = 7.67t   therefore t = 0.39 sec

Determine how far the balls are above the Juggler's hands ( when the balls pass each other )

form equation 1 ;

d = 4.9 t^2 = 4.9 *(0.39)^2 = 0.75 m

therefore the height the balls are above the Juggler's hands is

3 - d = 3 - 0.75 = 2.25 m

determine their velocities when the pass each other

velocity = displacement / time

velocity = d / t = 0.75 / 0.39 sec  = 1.92 m/sec
