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

Answer:

98 m √

Explanation:

How about s = Vo * t + ½at² ?

s = h = Vo * 2s - 4.9m/s² * (2s)² = 2Vo - 19.6

and

h = Vo * 10s - 4.9m/s² * (10s)² = 10Vo - 490

Subtract 2nd from first:

0 = -8Vo + 470.4

Vo = 58.8 m/s

h = 58.8m/s * 2s - 4.9m/s² * (2s)² = 98 m

A 0.105- kg hockey puck moving at 24 m/s is caught and held by a 75-kg goalie at rest. With what speed does the goalie slide on
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

<u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>

Explanation:

<em>Applying law of conservation of momentum, </em>

  • <em>m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = (m₁ + m₂)v</em>
  • <em>0.105(24) + 75(0) = (0.105 + 75)v</em>
  • <em>75.105v = 2.52</em>
  • <em>v = 2.52/75.105</em>
  • <em>v = </em><u><em>0.03 m/s</em></u>

Does the earths magnetic field change with time?
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

As per the fossil fuel records, magnetic field reversal does not impact living beings. It will take almost a century for the poles to complete the shift. Meanwhile, the earth is left with almost zero magnetic field.
