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.

a car accelerates from rest at 3.6m/s^2. how much time does it need to attain a speed of 7 m/s? awnser in units of s.
Ivahew [28]
Initial velocity: 0
final velocity: 7 m/s
a = 3.6
t = ?
x = ?

(7-0)/3.6 = t
t = 1.94 s

An object has a forward force of 100N and a reverse force of 25N. What is the resultant force?
iragen [17]

<u>Given</u><u>:</u>

  • An object has a forward force = 100N

  • An object has a reverse force = 25N

<u>To</u><u> </u><u>find</u><u> </u><u>out</u><u>:</u>

What is the resultant force?

<u>Solution</u><u>:</u>

Resultant Force = Forward force + Reserve force

= 100 N + ( - 25 N )

= 75 N
