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.

An object is dropped from rest from a 70.6 m tower. Air resistance is negligible. After 0.32 seconds, what is magnitude and dire
dem82 [27]

Answer:

<em>1,378.9ms²</em>

Explanation:

Given the following

Distance S = 70.6m

Time t = 0.32secs

Initial velocity = 0m/s

Required

Acceleration

Using the equation of motion

S = ut+1/2at²

Substitute

70.6 = 0+1/2a(0.32)²

70.6 = 0.0512a

a = 70.6/0.0512

a = 1,378.9

<em>Hence the acceleration is 1,378.9ms²</em>

Find the acceleration a body whose velocity increases from 11m/s to 33m/s in 10 seconds
solong [7]

Answer:

1.1 m/(s)^2

Explanation:

u=11 m/s

v=33 m/s

t=10s

v=u+at

=> 33=22+(a)(10)

=> 33-22=10a

=> 10a=11

=> a=11/10=1.1 m/(s)^2

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

it's the distance between objects in space

Explanation:  Light travels super fast; but it still takes a long time to travel between objects in space. This is because distances between objects in space are enormous.

During the spin cycle of your clothes washer, the tub rotates at a steady angular velocity of 33.5 rad/s. Find the angular displ
zavuch27 [327]

Answer: angular displacement in rad = 3038.45 rad

angular displacement in rev = 483.589 rev

Explanation: mathematically

Angular velocity = angular displacement / time taken.

Angular velocity = 33.5 rad/s, time taken = 90.7s

33.5 = angular displacement /90.7

Angular displacement = 33.5 * 90.7 = 3038.45 rad

But 1 rev =2π

Hence 3038.45 rad to rev is

3038.45/2π = 483.599 rev
