A 16000 kg railroad car travels along on a level frictionless track with a constant speed of 23.0 m/s. A 5400 kg additional load

is dropped onto the car. What then will be its speed in meters/second?

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.

Patrick is repairing the roof on his house. He uses a hammer having a mass of 1 kilogram. While working at the apex of the roof,
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

72 joules

Explanation:

The potential energy of that hammer is a function of its displacement against gravity. Considering that it fell with a velocity of 12 m/s, it was its displacement against gravity that gave it this velocity. It will continue to move until its displacement to gravity is zero.

since the body is in motion; it has converted its potential energy (mgh, m is mass, g is acceleration due to gravity, and h is the height) to kinetic energy (energy due to motion, 1/2mv^2; m = mass, v = velocity or speed)

therefore the potential energy is equal to kinetic energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2 = 1/2 *1kg* 12*12 = 72 joules.

What is the magnitude of a vector with components (15 m, 8 m)?
il63 [147K]
The answer is 17 m because you have to add the 15 m and the 8 m together to get the answer so it will be like this 17x17 = 15x15 + 8x8 got it?

Identify where the solid would be found after distillation is complete.
dimaraw [331]

Bottom of the distillation flask

Explanation:

The solid in the mixture to be separate would be found at the bottom of the distillation flask.

Distillation is a separation technique for differentiating the components of mixtures based on the differences in their boiling points.

  • Distillation is used to recover solvents from solution.
  • The solutes are then left behind in the flask as the solvent boils out as vapor.
  • The solution is boiled in a distillation flask to vaporize the solvent.
  • The vapor is made to condense back into liquid by means of a condenser.
  • The pure liquid called distillate is collected in the receiver.
  • The solute which is the solid remains in the distillation flask
