A 30 ton rail car and a 90 ton rail car, initially at rest,are connected together with a giant but massless compressed springbet

ween them. When released, the 30 ton car is pushed away at aspeed of 4.0 m/s relative to the 90 ton car. What is the speed ofthe 30 ton car relative to the ground?

Answer:

V2 = 1.33m/s

Explanation:

M1 = 30 ton

M2 = 90 ton

V1 = 4 m/s

V2 = ?

Assumption: momentum conserved, no friction

initial momentum = final momentum = 0  

momentum : p = MV

(M1*V1) - (M2*V2) = 0

V2 = (30*4)/90 = 1.33m/s

This is called the Phi Phenomenon.
This is an illusion of movement created when two or more adjacent lights blink on and off in quick succession; when two adjacent stationary lights blink on and off in quick succession; we perceive a single light moving back and forth between them. It is an optical illusion of perceiving a series of still images, when viewed in rapid succession, as continuous motion.

A car and a motorcycle start from rest at the same time on a straight track, but the motorcycle is 25.0 m behind the car. The ca
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

t = 8.45 sec

car distance d = 132.09  m

bike distance d = 157.08 m

Explanation:

GIVEN :

motorcycle is 25 m behind the car , therefore distance need to covered by bike to overtake car is 25+ d, when car reache distance d at time t

for car

by equation of motion

d  = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2

u = 0 starting from rest

d = \frac{1}{2}at^2

t^2 = \frac{2d}{a}

for bike

d+25 = 0 + \frac{1}{2}*4.40t^2

t^2= \frac{d+25}{2.20}

equating time of both

\frac{2d}{a} = \frac{d+25}{2.20}

solving for d we get

d = 132 m

therefore t is= \sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}

t =  \sqrt{\frac{2*132}{3.70}}

t = 8.45 sec

each travelled in time 8.45 sec as

for car

d = \frac{1}{2}*3.70 *8.45^2

d = 132.09  m

fro bike

d = \frac{1}{2}*4.40 *8.45^2

d = 157.08 m

Which one of the following salts, when dissolved in water, produces the solution with a ph closest to 7.00? 110) a) kh co3 b) cs
s344n2d4d5 [400]

CsCl, when dissolved in water, produces the solution with a ph closest to 7.00.

<h3>What is pH?</h3>

In chemistry, pH, historically denoting "potential of hydrogen" (or "power of hydrogen"), is a scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution.

Acidic solutions (solutions with higher concentrations of H+ ions) are measured to have lower pH values than basic or alkaline solutions.

The pH scale is logarithmic and inversely indicates the concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution.

Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic, and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic.

Solutions with a pH of 7 at this temperature are neutral (e.g. pure water).

The neutral value of the pH depends on the temperature – being lower than 7 if the temperature increases above 25 °C.

The pH value can be less than 0 for very concentrated strong acids, or greater than 14 for very concentrated strong bases.
