Three identical boxcars are coupled together and are moving at a constant speed of 28.0 on a level, frictionless track. They col

lide with another identical boxcar that is initially at rest and couple to it, so that the four cars roll on as a unit. Friction is small enough to be neglected.Part AWhat is the speed of the four cars?Part BWhat percentage of the kinetic energy of the boxcars is dissipated in the collision?Part CWhat happened to this energy?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let m be the mass of each car

mass of three cars = 3m

Kinetic energy of 3 coupled cars = 1/2 x 3m x 28²

= 1176 m

mass of 4 coupled cars = 4m

Its velocity v = 3m x 28 / 4m ( using conservation of momentum law )

= 21 m /s

Kinetic energy of 4m mass

= 1/2 x 4m x 21²

= 882 m

Loss of energy

= 1176 m - 882 m = 294 m

percentage of loss

=( 294 / 1176 ) x 100

= 25 %

This energy appears in the form of sound , heat etc on collision .

Which of the following do cutoffs form in a meandering river
mrs_skeptik [129]

Answer: An oxbow lake forms after there has been deposition of sediment, by the new cutoff channel flowing adjacent to it, at the entrances of the abandoned bend; this seals the bend off from the rest of the river.

satela [25.4K]

Answer:

Metal is more dense than water.

Explanation:

As we know, the molecules of the metal are tightly closed as compared to that of water and the density of a material is defined as the mass of the material per unit volume.

In a certain volume of metal, there are more numbers of molecules than that of water in the same amount of volume, therefore the density of metal is greater than that of water.

Also, according to Archimedes' principle, if there is an object in a fluid, then the buoyant force on that object is equal to the weight of the fluid that it displaces.

When the density of the object is larger than that of the fluid then it overcomes that buoyant force and sinks.

Thus, an object sinks in a fluid if its density is larger than that of the fluid and floats otherwise.

Since, the metal sink in water, it means Metal is more dense than water.
