Answer:
Explanation:
acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. Therefore, acceleration,
where is change in velocity and t is time
Substituting initial and final velocities with 25 m/s and 10 m/s then using time as given in the question of 3 s then
Therefore, the acceleration is
Answer:
8717 meters.
Explanation:
We need to know the conversion factors. We know that:
1 mile = 1609.34 meters
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
This means that:
It is convenient to leave the units we want at the end in the numerator so the ones in the denominator cancel out with the ones we want to remove, as will be seen in the next step.
We will convert first the miles, then the yards, and add them up.
So total distance is the sum of these, 8717 meters.
Answer:
V = 0.714m/s
Explanation:
Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.
Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.
See the attachment below for the solution calculation.
