Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t

he first having a mass of 150,000 kg and a velocity of 0.300 m/s, and the second having a mass of 95,000 kg and a velocity of -0.120 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity?

Answer:   0.137 m/s

Explanation:

from the question we are given the following

mass of train A (Ma) = 150,000 kg

velocity of train A (Va) = 0.3 m/s

mass of train B (Mb) = 95,000 kg

velocity of train B (Vb) = -0.12 m/s

final velocity (V) = ?

mass of both trains = 245,000 kg

  • to solve this question we apply the conservation of momentum

MaVa + MbVb = (Ma + Mb) x V

V = (MaVa + MbVb) /  (Ma + Mb)

V =  ((150,000 x 0.3) + (95,000 x (-0.12))) /  (245,000)

V = -33600 / 245,000

V = 0.137 m/s

Calculate the mass 9f the earth, assuring that uts is sphere with radius 6.67×10^6m.​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Explanation:

The mass of the earth m = density of earth, ρ × volume of earth, V

m = ρV

The density of the earth, ρ = 5515 kg/m³ and since the earth is a sphere, its volume is the volume of a sphere V = 4πr³/3 where r = radius of the earth = 6.67 × 10⁶ m

Since m = ρV

m = ρ4πr³/3

So, substituting the values of the variables into the equation for the mass of the earth, m, we have

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π(6.67 × 10⁶ m)³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 4π × 296.741 × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 5515 kg/m³ × 1189.9639π × 10¹⁸ m³/3

m = 6546105.64378π × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 20565197.400122 × 10¹⁸ kg/3

m = 6855065.8 × 10¹⁸ kg

m = 6.8550658 × 10²⁴ kg

m ≅ 6.86 × 10²⁴ kg

Has anyone done the science project: modeling waves/properties of light?
igor_vitrenko [27]
<h2>MARK BRAINLIEST</h2>

For this assignment, you will develop several models that show how light waves and mechanical waves are reflected, absorbed, or transmitted through various materials. For each model, you will write a brief description of the interaction between the wave and the material. You will also compose two <u><em>typewritten</em></u> paragraphs. The first will compare and contrast light waves interacting with different materials. The second will explain why materials with certain properties are well suited for particular functions.

<h2><u>Background Information</u></h2>

A wave is any disturbance that carries energy from one place to another. There are two different types of waves: mechanical and electromagnetic. A mechanical wave carries energy through matter. Energy is transferred through vibrating particles of matter. Examples of mechanical waves include ocean waves, sound waves, and seismic waves. Like a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave can also carry energy through matter. However, unlike a mechanical wave, an electromagnetic wave does not need particles of matter to carry energy. Examples of electromagnetic waves include microwaves, visible light, X-rays, and radiation from the Sun.

Calculate the induced electric field (in V/m) in a 40-turn coil with a diameter of 11 cm that is placed in a spatially uniform m
Naddik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Number of turn N = 40

Diameter of the coil d= 11cm = 0.11m

Then, radius = d/2 = 0.11/2 =0.055m

r = 0.055m

Then, the area is given as

A =πr²

A = π × 0.055²

A = 9.503 × 10^-3 m²

Magnetic Field B = 0.35T

Magnetic field reduce to zero in 0.1s, t = 0.1s

so we want to find induce electric field. To find the electric field,(E) we need to find the electric potential (V).

E.M.F is given as

ε = —N • dΦ/dt

Where magnetic flux is given as

Φ = BA

Then, ε = —N • dΦ/dt

ε = —N • dBA/dt

ε = —NBA/t

Then, its magnitude is

ε = NBA/t

Inserting the values of N, B, A and t

ε = 40×0.35×9.503×10^-3/0.1

ε = 1.33 V

Then, using the relationship between Electric field and electric potential

V = Ed

ε = E•d

E = ε/d

E = 1.33/0.11

E = 12.09 V/m

____ is undeniably accepted by scientists all over the world as the primary language of science.
faust18 [17]

Answer:

Latin

Explanation:

In order for the scientists to have a common and official name for a particular thing that can be understood by every scientist in the world, a single language has been established for the purpose. The language chosen is the Latin language. The official scientific names are given in this language, so it is a necessity for the scientists to know and understand this language. The terms that are commonly used are regional, and they come in many different languages, which is why this language has been chosen. Occasionally, the ancient Greek language is used as well, though much less than the Latin.
