Applying the Law of Conservation of Momentum

Physics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
6 0

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

21. A toy car starts from rest and begins to
Bond [772]

Answer:

v = 66 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

The initial velocity of a car, u = 0

Acceleration of the car, a = 11 m/s²

We need to find the final velocity of the toy after 6 seconds.

Let v is the final velocity. It can be calculated using first equation of motion. It is given by :

v = u +at

v = 0 + 11 m/s² × 6 s

v = 66 m/s

So, the final velocity of the car is 66 m/s.

To find the number of neutrons in an atom, what would you subtract?
kolezko [41]
You look up the element in the periodic table. Subtract the atomic number (small number) from the mass number (big number). The answer is the number of neutrons.
