<u>Answer:</u>

The final velocity of the two  railroad cars is 1.09 m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Since we are given that the two cars lock together it shows that the collision is inelastic in nature. The final velocity due to inelastic collision is given by  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{V 1 M 1+V 2 M 2}{M 1+M 2}

where

V= Final velocity

M1= mass of the first object in kgs = 12000

M2= mas of the second object in kgs = 10000

V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s = 2m/s

V2= initial velocity of the second object in m/s = 0 (given at rest)

Substituting the given values in the formula we get

V = 2×12000 + 0x100012000 + 10000= 2400022000= 1.09 m/s  

\mathrm{V}=\frac{2 \times 1200+0 \times 1000}{12000+10000}=\frac{24000}{22000}=1.09 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}

Which is the final velocity of the two  railroad cars

iris [78.8K]

The number of complete cycles the rotating mirror goes through before the angular velocity gets to zero is approximately 1166.8 revs

<h3>What is angular velocity?</h3>

Angular velocity is the ratio of the angle turned to the time taken.

The kinematic equation for angular velocity are presented as follows;

ω = ω₀ + α·t

θ = θ₀ + ω₀·t + 0.5·α·t²

Where;

θ₀ = The initial angle turned = 0

ω₀ = The initial angular velocity of the mirrors = 115 rad/s clockwise

α = The angular acceleration = (115  - (-115))rad/s/(85 s) = -46/17 m/s²

t = The duration of the motion;

When the angular velocity, ω is zero, we get;

0 = 115 - 46/17·t

t = 85/2

Which indicates;

θ = 0 + 115× (85/2) + 0.5×(46/17) ×(85/2)² = 7331.25

θ = 7331.25 radians

θ = 7331.25/(2×π) ≈ 1166.8 rev

The mirrors would have turned through approximately 1166.8 revolutions when the angular gets to zero

2 (a) A plane from airport A flies 280 km to the east to airport B. The plane then travelled north to airport C, 190 km away. (i
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

See attached diagram

280 km   east then 190 km north

Use Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant displacement

d^2 = 280^2 + 190^2

d = 338.4 km

Angle will be    arctan ( 190/280) = 34.16 °

a 360 mile trip began on a greeway in a car traveling at 62 mph. Once the road became a 2 lane highway, the car slowed to 54 mph
Daniel [21]

Answer:

Time spent on the greenway road  = 4.5 hours

Time spent on the 2 lane road = 1.5 hours

Explanation:

The distance of the trip  is 360 miles and the initial speed of the car is 62 miles/hr and after the road became 2 lane highway the car slowed to 54 miles/hr.

Let us divide the trip into two

Greenway

speed = distance/time

speed = 62 mph

time = a

distance = speed × time

distance = 62a

2 lane highway

speed = distance/time

speed = 54 mph

time = b

distance = speed × time

distance = 54b

Total distance

62a + 54b = 360......................(i)

Total time

a + b = 6..............................(ii)

a = 6-b

insert a in equation (i)

62(6-b) + 54b = 360

372  - 62b + 54b = 360

-8b = 360-372

-8b = - 12

b = 12/8

b = 1.5

from equation (ii)

a + 1.5 = 6

a = 6 - 1.5

a = 4.5

A box is being pulled by two ropes. Eduardo pulls to the left with a force of 500 N, and Clara pulls to the right with a force o
sergejj [24]

Answer:

kinetic friction or something else

Explanation:

Draw a diagram to illustrate the problem, as shown below.

m = mass of the box, kg

mg =  weight of the box, N, acting downward

Because of Newton's 3rd law, a normal force of N = mg acts upward on the box.

C = 200 N, the force applied by Clara, horizontally to the right

E = 500 N, the force applied by Eduardo, horizontally to the left.

Because E is greater than C, the box will move left.

The frictional force, F, will resist the initial motion. Its magnitude is

F = μN = μmg, where μ = kinetic coefficient of friction.

F acts horizontally to the right.

From the given table, we can conclude that

Normal force acting upward is correct

Tension by Eduardoacting left is correct.

Tension by Clara acting right is correct.

Kinetic friction acting left is Incorrect.

Gravity acting downward is correct.correct

Answer:

The direction of the kinetic friction force is incorrect
