Answer:

The speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 16000 kg

Speed of the railroad car, v₁ = 23 m/s

Mass of additional load, m₂ = 5400 kg

The additional load is dropped onto the car. Let v will be its speed. On applying the conservation of momentum as :

m_1v_1=(m_1+m_2)v

v=\dfrac{m_1v_1}{m_1+m_2}

v=\dfrac{16000\ kg\times 23\ m/s}{(16000+5400)\ kg}

v = 17.19 m/s

So, the speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

A top is a toy that is made to spin on its pointed end by pulling on a string wrapped around the body of the top. The string has
AlladinOne [14]

Given Information:

Angular displacement = θ = 51 cm = 0.51  m

Radius = 1.8 cm = 0.018 m

Initial angular velocity = ω₁ = 0 m/s

Angular acceleration = α = 10 rad/s ²

Required Information:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = ?

Answer:

Final angular velocity = ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Explanation:

We know from the equations of kinematics,

ω₂² = ω₁² + 2αθ

Where ω₁ is the initial angular velocity that is zero since the toy was initially at rest, α is angular acceleration and θ is angular displacement.

ω₂² = (0)² + 2αθ

ω₂² = 2αθ

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

We know that the relation between angular displacement and arc length is given by

s = rθ

θ = s/r

θ = 0.51/0.018

θ = 23.33 radians

finally, final angular velocity is

ω₂ = √(2αθ)

ω₂ = √(2*10*23.33)

ω₂ = 21.6 rad/s

Therefore, the top will be rotating at 21.6 rad/s when the string is completely unwound.

Which describes an object in projectile motion? Select three options.
Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Description of an object in projectile motion is;

  • Gravity acts to pull the object down.
  • The object’s inertia carries it forward.
  • The path of the object is curved.

Explanation:

The path of the projectile is usually curved, and NOT straight, due to the influence of gravity on it which is teh only force acting on it-, causing it motion path to fall towards the earth. Most projectiles follow a parabolic path. The projectile, even though it was launched, its motion is then only due to its own inertia – tendency to stay in motion in a straight line, or rest, unless an external force is acting on it - such as drag or friction.  An example of such projectile motion is of ballistic missiles.
