An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th

e rain is falling vertically downward. Originally, the car is empty and moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s.(a) What is the speed of the car after it has collected 3000 kg of rainwater?(b) Since the rain is falling downward, how is it able to affect the horizontal motion of the car?

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

zheka24 [161]

Answer:

The speed is 173 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A = 47

B = 14

Length 1 urk = 58.0 m

An hour is divided into 125 time units named dorts.

3600 s = 125 dots

dorts = 28.8 s

Speed v= (25.0+A+B) urks/dort

We need to convert the speed into meters per second

Put the value of A and B into the speed

v=25.0+47+14

v =86\ urk s/dort

v=86\times\dfrac{58.0}{28.8}

v=173.19\ m/s

Hence, The speed is 173 m/s.

The complete combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately 512 cal of heat. How many kilojoules are produced? Expres
k0ka [10]

We have to covert 512 cal of heat in kilo joules.

As, 1 cal = 0.004184 kJ = 4.184 joules.

Therefore,

512 \ cal = 512 \times 4.184 \ J = 2142.208 \ J \\\\\ =  2.142 \times 10 ^3 J = 2.142 \ kJ

Thus, combustion of a small wooden match produces approximately ( in kilo joules ) is 2.142 kJ .

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to t
Bogdan [553]

Complete question:

Suppose the wavelength of the light is 550 nm . How much farther is it from the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit than it is from the dot to the right slit? Fringe C is the central maximum.

Check the image uploaded.

Answer:

The difference is 1100 nm

Explanation:

A bright fringe creates constructive interference, the wavelength is always in a multiple form.

At center fringe, the difference is (550 nm)(0) = 0

For the first maximum, the difference is (550 nm)(1) = 550 nm

For the second maximum, the difference = (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Thus, for nth maxima, the difference is (550 nm)(n)

From the image uploaded, C is located on the second maximum, therefore the difference is given as  (550 nm)(2) = 1100 nm

Therefore, the dot on the screen in the center of fringe E to the left slit is 1100 nm

A boy slides a book across the floor using a force of five and over a distance of 2M what is the kinetic energy of the book afte
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 10Nm or 10J

Explanation:

Given the following :

Force (f) = 5

Distance (d) = 2m

Calculate the kinetic energy assuming no friction

Work done = force × distance

Work done = 5N × 2m = 10Nm

Recall :

Work done = ΔK.E ( change in kinetic energy)

Therefore, kinetic energy of the book after sliding = ΔK. E, which is equal to work done.

Hence, K. E of book after sliding is 10Nm
