Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded cars are moving toward one another, the fir

st having a mass of 1.50×10 5 kg and a velocity of (0.30m/s)i, and the second having a mass of 2×10 5 kg and a velocity of (−0.12kg) i ^ . What is the energy lost in this inelastic collision?

Answer:

7560 Joules

Explanation:

m_1 = Mass of first car = 1.5\times 10^5\ kg

m_2 = Mass of second car = 2\times 10^5\ kg

u_1 = Initial Velocity of first car = 0.3 m/s

u_2 = Initial Velocity of second car = -0.12 m/s

v = Velocity of combined mass

As linear momentum of the system is conserved

m_1u_1 + m_2u_2 =(m_1 + m_2)v\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{m_1u_1 + m_2u_2}{m_1 + m_2}\\\Rightarrow v=\frac{1.5\times 10^5\times 0.3 + 2\times 10^5\times -0.12}{1.5\times 10^5 + 2\times 10^5}\\\Rightarrow v=0.06\ m/s

Energy lost is

\Delta E=\Delta E_i-\Delta E_f\\\Rightarrow \Delta=\frac{1}{2}(m_1u_1^2 + m_2u_2^2-(m_1+m_2)v^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta=\frac{1}{2}(1.5\times 10^5\times 0.3^2 + 2\times 10^5\times (-0.12)^2-(1.5\times 10^5 + 2\times 10^5)\times 0.06^2)\\\Rightarrow \Delta=7560\ J

The Energy lost in the collision is 7560 Joules

jake drags a sled of mass 10 kg across the snow. the sled is attached to a rope that he pulls with a force of 30 n at an angle o
bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

The normal force is 85,42 N

Explanation:

There is no friction force, therefore there is no relationship between the normal force and the friction.

We can find the normal force using a free body diagram and check the forces that are acting on the sled. The total forces are equal to 0 because there is no movement in the y-axis. The movement exists only on the x-axis.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

420

Explanation:

420 because 120 x 3 = 360

120/2 = 60 and 360 + 60 = 420

I hope this helps you and please consider giving me brainliest :)
