answer

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

explanation

the conservation of momentum states that the initial and final total momentum are equal

m1v1 + m2v2 for initial momentum

(m1 + m2)v3 for final momentum because both cars stick together so their masses are combined

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3

since the mass of both are the same, m1 = m2

m1v1 + m1v2 = (m1 + m1)v3

m1(v1 + v2) = 2m1v3

divide both sides by m1

v1 + v2 = 2v3

since train car A is initially at rest, v1 = 0

v2 = 2v3

v3 = v2 * 1/2

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

Answer:

Bowling Ball: weight on Earth = 49 N

Textbook: Mass = 2 kg; weight on the moon = 3.2 N

Large dog: weight on Earth = 490 N; weight on the moon = 80 N

Law of Universal Gravitation: $F_{G}=\frac{Gm_{1}m_{2}}{r^{2}}$

$F_{G}$ = gravitational force (Newtons/N)

G = gravitational constant, 6.67430 × 10¹¹ $\frac{N*m^{2}}{kg^{2}}$

m₁ and m₂ = masses of two objects (kilograms/kg)

r² = square of distance between centers of the two objects (meters/m)

Have a fantastic day!

A rifle is aimed horizontally at a target 50.0 m away. The bullet hits the target 2.90 cm below the aim point. . . Whats the bul

Marina CMI [18]

The problem ask to calculate the bullet's flight time and the bullet's speed as it left the barrel. So base on the problem, the answer would be that the flight time is 0.076 seconds and the speed of the bullet is 657.9 m/s. I hope you are satisfied with my answer and feel free to ask for more if you have questions and further clarifications.

Answer:

V = 44.4 units.

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the Pythagorean theorem. Which is defined by the following expression.

$V = \sqrt{(V_{x})^{2} +(V_{y})^{2} }$

where:

Vx = - 43 units

Vy = 11.1 units

Now replacing:

$V=\sqrt{(-43)^{2} +(11.1)^{2} }\\V=44.4 units$

Yolanda is studying two waves. The first wave has an amplitude of 2 m, and the second has an amplitude of 3 m. Which statement a

Anna71 [15]

Answer:

a) Not Accurate

b) Not Accurate

c) Accurate

d) Accurate

Explanation:

Part a

Not Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m

Part b

Not Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m

Part c

Accurate, because destructive interference would lead to maximum possible magnitude of < 3 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.

Part d

Accurate, because constructive interference would lead to minimum possible magnitude of > 2 m by varying the phase difference between two waves she can achieve the desired results.
