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

(a) What is the minimum width of a single slit (in multiples of λ ) that will produce a first minimum for a wavelength λ ? (b) W
Kitty [74]

Answer:

The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

Explanation:

Given that,

Wavelength = λ

For D to be small,

We need to calculate the minimum width

Using formula of minimum width

D\sin\theta=n\lambda

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Where, D = width of slit

\lambda = wavelength

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{n\lambda}{\sin\theta}

Here, \sin\theta should be maximum.

So. maximum value of \sin\theta is 1

Put the value into the formula

D=\dfrac{1\times\lambda}{1}

D=\lambda

(b). If the minimum number  is 50

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{50\times\lambda}{1}

D=50\lambda

(c). If the minimum number  is 1000

Then, the width is

D=\dfrac{1000\times\lambda}{1}

D=1000\lambda

Hence, The minimum value of width for first minima is λ

The  minimum value of width for 50 minima is 50λ

The  minimum value of width for 1000 minima is 1000λ

A sports car accelerates from rest for 5 seconds reaching a velocity of 23.0 m/s.
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

<h2>4.6 m/s²</h2>

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object given it's velocity and time taken can be found by using the formula

<h3>a =  \frac{v - u}{t}  \\</h3>

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

a is the acceleration

Since the body is from rest u = 0

From the question we have

a =  \frac{23 - 0}{5}  =  \frac{23}{5}  \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.6 m/s²</h3>

Hope this helps you

Blocks A and B are identical metal blocks. Initially block A is neutral, and block B has a net charge of 8.7 nC. Using insulatin
JulsSmile [24]

Explanation:

(a)   Since, it is given that the blocks are identical so distribution of charge will be uniform on both the blocks.

Hence, final charge on block A will be calculated as follows.

         Charge on block A = \frac{(8.7 + 0 nC}{2}

                                           = 4.35 nC

Therefore, final charge on the block A is 4.35 nC.

(b)  As it is given that the positive charge is coming on block A . This means that movement of electrons will be from A to B.

Thus, we can conclude that while the blocks were in contact with each other then electrons will flow from A to B.
