Answer:
Explanation:
Assuming no energy lost, according to the law of conservation of energy, the kinetic energy of the automobile becomes potential energy after the crash:
Here m is the automobile's mass, v is the speed of the car before impact, k is the "bumper" constant and x is the compression of the bumper due to the collision. Solving for v:
Answer:
The velocity of the freight car decreases.
Explanation:
This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.
When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.
We will call this M1.
The equation for M1 will be:
M1 = Mass * Speed
Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.
Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:
M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed
Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
- A moving electric charge creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
- An electric current in a conductor creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
- A permanent magnet creates a magnetic field at all points in the surrounding region.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- A magnetic field can be created by running electricity through a wire. All magnetic fields are created by moving charged particles. it is important to also note that charged particles create magnetic fields only when they are moving.
- The strength of the magnetic field generated or created is proportional to the amount of current flowing through the wire. Thus, increasing the current increases the strength of the magnetic field.
Answer:
As light travels in a straight line at a constant speed, it's acceleration is <u>0 m/s²</u>.
There is no rate of change of speed, so there is no acceleration.
- <u>0 m/s²</u> is the right answer.
