A moving freight car collides with an identical one that is at rest. If momentum is conserved, what happens to the second car af

ter the collision?

<h2>Answer</h2>

There will be two different possiblites as

May be one is in rest or other move

May be both will be in motion

<h2>Expalanation</h2>

According to Conservation Law of Momentum, when the two objects collide with each other, they transferred their kinetic energy to keep their momentum before or after collisions remain constant. In the present example, one moving car collides with another car which is at rest and has the same weight. There will be two possibilities after the collision as an elastic collision or perfect inelastic collision. In the elastic collision, the one car will adopt the rest position after the collision and transfer it K.E to make the rest car at the movable position. In the perfect inelastic collision, both cars will move after the collision.

The height of a projectile t seconds after it is launched straight up in the air is given by f (t )equals negative 16 t squared
velikii [3]

Answer:

\displaystyle a(5)=-32

Explanation:

<u>Instant Acceleration</u>

The kinetic magnitudes are usually related as scalar or vector equations. By doing so, we are assuming the acceleration is constant over time. But when the acceleration is variable, the relations are in the form of calculus equations, specifically using derivatives and/or integrals.

Let f(t) be the distance traveled by an object as a function of the time t. The instant speed v(t) is defined as:

\displaystyle v(t)=\frac{df}{dt}

And the acceleration is

\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{dv}{dt}

Or equivalently

\displaystyle a(t)=\frac{d^2f}{d^2t}

The given height of a projectile is

f(t)=-16t^2 +238t+3

Let's compute the speed

\displaystyle v(t)=-32t+238

And the acceleration

\displaystyle a(t)=-32

It's a constant value regardless of the time t, thus

\boxed{\displaystyle a(5)=-32}

At Hoover Dam, the distance the water effectively falls before encountering the electric generators depends on the water levels
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Explanation:

recall that power is energy carried out or work done per time

P=W/t

P=2*10^6*35

t=6*60=420S

W=Energy

E=2*10^6*35*360S

E=25200000000

Energy stored by water from rest is called potential energy. Since the water is falling from a height , we calculate potential energy as thus

E=M*g*h

Assume that the water intakes are effectively 175 m above the electric generators. How much water must pass through the generators to power 2 million 35-W Las Vegas light bulbs for 6.0 minutes?

M=mass of water

g=acceleration due to gravity 9.81m/s^2

h=height ,175m

25200000000=M*9.81*175

M=\frac{25200000000}{175*9.81}

M=1716.75kg

What affect does a tripling of the net force have upon the acceleration of the object ? Be quantitative
vovikov84 [41]
The formula of net Force is:
F = ma
where m is the mass of the object
a is the acceleration of the object

so if we triple the net force applied to the object:
3F = ma
a = 3F / m

so the acceleration will also be tripled. because from the equation, the force is directly proportional to the acceleration
