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.

Real bodies emit and absorb more radiation than a blackbody at the same temperature. True or False
monitta

Answer: False

Explanation:

Relative to the concept of radiations, a black body is an object capable of absorbing any form of electromagnetic radiation irrespective of its frequency or angle of incidence when incident on such object.

However, the same cannot be said about real bodies as real bodies are those which reflect all rays incident on them completely and uniformly in all directions.

One very important characteristic of black bodies is that they are ideal emmiters.

The concept of emmisivity is brought about by the existence of real bodies .

This is due to the fact that they are only able to emit radiation at a fraction of the black body energy levels.

Please note that by convention, the emmisivity of a real body is always less thaan 1.

As such they are not able to emit as much radiation as a black body at the same temperature.

The earth has a radius of 6.38 × 106 m and turns on its axis once every 23.9 h.
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

a) V = 465.9 m/s

b) θ = 70.529°

Explanation:

Let's first calculate angular velocity of earth:

\omega=\frac{2\pi}{23.9h}*1h/3600s

Velocity of a person on Ecuador will be:

V_E = \omega*R

V_E = 465.9 m/s

For part b, since angular velocity is the same:

\frac{\omega*R}{3}=\omega*(R*cos\theta )

Solving for θ:

\theta=acos(1/3)

\theta=70.529\°

An object is accelerating at 2m/s^2. What is the net force if the mass is 125kg?
natita [175]

Answer:

250 N

Explanation:

Newton's second law:

∑F = ma

∑F = (125 kg) (2 m/s²)

∑F = 250 N
