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

An escalator is 17.4 m long. If a person stands on the escalator, it takes 47.6 s to ride from the bottom to the top. If a perso
lisov135 [29]

Answer:

19.1 secs

Explanation:

The first step is to calculate the velocity

= 17.4/47.6

= 0.37 m/s

Therefore the time taken for the person to reach the top can be calculated as follows

= 17.4/(0.37+0.541)

= 17.4 / 0.911

= 19.1 secs

Hence the time taken is 19.1 secs

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Regional carrier                  

Explanation:

Like in many countries, in United States, the airlines are either privately owned or publicly owned. In the United States, airlines are categorized in to major airline carriers, national airline carriers and regional airline carriers by the revenue it generates.

Accordingly, if an airline generates revenue more than 1 billion dollar in a year, it falls in the Major Airline carriers category.

It the revenue generated by the airline is within the range of $100 million to $1 billion, then it is called National airline carriers.

However, if the revenue is less than 100 million dollar for a year, then that airline is called a Regional airline carrier.

In the context, as the revenue generated by the Mountain Airlines is less than  75 million dollar, it is called Regional carrier.

Hence, the answer is --- Regional carrier
