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:

1 m/s²

Explanation:

Force = mass × acceleration

F = ma ............ Equation 1

Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

Given: m = 0.058 kg, a = 10 m/s²

Substitute into equation 1

F = 0.058(10)

F = 0.58 N.

If the same force was used to hit the baseball,

F = m'a

a = F/m'.............. Equation 2

Where M' = mass of the baseball.

Given: F = 0.58 N, m' = 0.58 kg.

Substitute into equation 2

a = 0.58/0.58

a = 1 m/s²

What did johannes kepler contribute to the study of planets
Nana76 [90]
Johannes Kepler was a main stargazer of the Scientific Revolution known for detailing the Laws of Planetary Motion. A stargazer, obviously, is a man who contemplates the sun, stars, planets and different parts of room. Kepler was German and lived in the vicinity of 1571 and 1630. 
Despite the fact that Kepler is best known for characterizing laws in regards to planetary movement, he made a few other striking commitments to science. He was the first to discover that refraction drives vision in the eye and that utilizing two eyes empowers profundity recognition.
