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.

Electromagnetic waves can behave like particles
Ilya [14]
Yes they can.  Uh-huh.  Indubitably.  That's right, Vanessa.  It's true.

A better way to say it might be:

         Electromagnetic radiation can behave like waves AND like particles.

The relationship between power, force, and velocity is ______?
Kipish [7]

Answer: P = FV becuase all of them are equal in strength.

Explanation: In the straight forward cases where a constant force moves an object at constant velocity, the power is just P = Fv. In a more general case where the velocity is not in the same direction as the force, then the scalar product offorce and velocity must be used. P = Power, F = Force, V = Velocity.

A wave with 2.0 m amplitude has a frequency of 500 Hz is travelling at a speed of 200 m/s. What is the wavelength?
Serggg [28]

Answer: 0.4m

Explanation:

Given that:

Amplitude of wave = 2.0 m

Wavelength (λ)= ?

Frequency F = 500Hz

Speed V = 200 m/s

The wavelength is measured in metres, and represented by the symbol λ.

So, apply the formula:

Wavespeed V= Frequency F xwavelength λ

200m/s = 500Hz x λ

λ = 200m/s / 500Hz

λ = 0.4m

Thus, the wavelength is 0.4 metres

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

0.256 hours

Explanation:

<u>Vectors in the plane </u>

We know Office A is walking at 5 mph directly south. Let X_A be its distance. In t hours he has walked

X_A=5t\ \text{miles}

Office B is walking at 6 mph directly west. In t hours his distance is

X_B=6t\ \text{miles}

Since both directions are 90 degrees apart, the distance between them is the hypotenuse of a triangle which sides are the distances of each office

D=\sqrt{X_A^2+X_B^2}

D=\sqrt{(5t)^2+(6t)^2}

D=\sqrt{61}t

This distance is known to be 2 miles, so

\sqrt{61}t=2

t =\frac{2}{\sqrt{61}}=0.256\ hours

t is approximately 15 minutes
