train engine of mass 4500 kg is connected by a rope to boxcar A. Boxcar A is connected by a second rope to boxcar B, which is co

nnected by a third rope to boxcar C. All boxcars have the same mass, 1500 kg. The whole train is sitting on a flat railroad track. The train engineer starts the train engine moving so that the tension in the first rope, between the locomotive and boxcar A, is 4000 N. How fast is the whole train accelerating

Answer:

The acceleration is a =  0.889 \  m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the engine is m  =  4500 \  kg

The mass of each Boxcar is m_b  =  1500 \ kg

The tension between the locomotive and boxcar A is T  =  4000 \  N

Generally the tension between the locomotive and boxcar A is equivalent to the net force propelling the box cars so the tension is mathematically represented as

T =  F  =  M* a

Here M is the mass of the three box cars

=>       4000=  (3 * 1500)* a

=>         a =  0.889 \  m/s^2

Answer:the

8/9 h

Explanation:

Height  =   1/2 a T^2     now change to T/3

 now height = 1/2 a (T/3)^2   =<u> 1/9</u>  1/2 a T^2     <===== it is 1/9 of the way down   or   8/9 h

A basketball player drops a 0.4-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.7 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball
Alik [6]

Answer:

(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.

Explanation:

Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg

Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)

It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s  (as it rebounds so positive)

(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

p = m(v-u)

p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))

p = 3.4 kg-m/s

(b) Impulse = change in momentum

Ft = 3.4

We have, t = 0.09 s

F=\dfrac{3.4}{0.09}\\\\F=37.78\ N

Hence, this is the required solution.

an object with a mass of 7.5 kg accelerates 8.3 m/s2 when an unknown force is applied to it. what is the amount of the force?
nasty-shy [4]
F=MA
F is force
M is mass
A is acceleration
F=MA
F=(7.5 kg)(8.3 m/s^2)
F=62.25 N (newton- SI unit for force)
Hope this helps
