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

Answer: C. Metals are found on the left side of the periodic table.

Explanation:

The periodic table contains vertical columns called as groups and horizontal rows called as periods.

Period 2 contains 8 elements which are lithium, beryllium , boron , carbon, nitrogen, oxygen , fluorine and neon. Only Lithium and beryllium are metals.

Group 18 contains all the noble gases which are all non metals.

Metals are the elements which loose electrons easily and form positive ions. Non-metals are the elements which can gain electrons easily and form negative ions.

Metals are present on left side of the periodic table and as we move to right side of the periodic table , the metallic character decreases and thus non metals are found on the right side of the periodic table.

an empty boat floats in water with 10% of its volume submerged. and when it is loaded with 1200kg , the volume submerged will in
Lostsunrise [7]

Let volume of empty boat be = 100% = 1V

and mass of boat be M

In water 10%, 0.1V of the volume is submerged.

Mass, m of 1200kg increases the submerging from 10%, 0.1V to 70%, 0.7V

M leads to 0.1V boat submerging

boat submerging.

M + 1200kg leads to 0.7V boat submerging.

This is 60%, 0.6 V increase

By comparison

(M+1200kg) * 0.1V = 0.7V * M

0.1M + 120kg = 0.7M

120kg = 0.7M - 0.1M

120kg = 0.6M

M = (120/0.6)kg

M = 200kg.

The mass of the boat is 200kg.

What is the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds
SVEN [57.7K]

Answer:

B. 17m/s

Explanation:

This question contains a graph that illustrates the relationship between the speed of a car over time. The graph shows that one can make an inference of the amount of time it takes for the car to cover a particular speed and vice versa.

In this case, after 3 seconds, the speed of the car will be 17 m/s. This inference was got by tracing the position of 3s in the x-axis to the value on the y-axis. Doing this, the best inference for the speed of the car after 3 seconds is 17m/s.

a person standing at the edge of a seaside cliff kicks a stone over the edge with a speed of 18 m/s. The cliff is 52 m above the
Alexxx [7]
You already have the speed, now you need the time.
I will use the formula for speed which is S=D/T.
S=Speed    D=Distance   T=Time.
So here we have, 18m/s = 52m/T
we do 18 divided by 52 which would be .3461.
.3461 seconds is how long it took the stone to reach the water.
