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

What is the area of shore between high and low tides called
Triss [41]

Its is called intertidal zone

Explanation:

The earth rotation and the moon's pull of gravity causes the tides to rise and fall.High tides occur when the water advances to the furthers point of a shoreline where as low tides happen when the water recedes to the lowest point of the shoreline.Some kinds of animal and plants survive in the ecosystem present between the area of high tides and low tides refered to as the intertidal zone.This area is sometimes covered or uncovered by ocean waters.

In designing buildings to be erected in an area prone to earthquakes, what are the things that you need to consider?
il63 [147K]

Answer:

In an earthquake prone area, the things that are needed to be considered for the buildings to stand constant and no cause of damages are as follows-

  • The foundation of the building must be made strong, using large amount of concretes so that it can hold the entire load of the building.
  • The pillars of the buildings are also should be firmed, rigid, strong and thick.
  • The buildings are needed to be construct in such a way that during any seismic event, the forces can be redistributed easily through the body of the building without causing any damage.
  • The buildings must be overall comprised of holding high strength and stiffness.
