A 17-car train standing on the siding is started in motion by the train’s engine. 9 cm slack is between each of the cars, which

are 9 m long. The engine is tightly connected to the first car and moves at a constant speed of 36 cm/s. How much time is required for the pulse to travel the length of the train? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

There are links between cars, they are in between

1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17.

Here 1 represents the first car which is firmly attached to the engine. So, there are 16 links and each link has a slack of 9 m.

So, total slack

9×16 = 144 cm

Speed of train = 36 cm/s

\text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{Length}{speed}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{144}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=4\ s

Time taken by the pulse to travel the length of train is 4 seconds.

a toy dart gun generates a dart with .140kg.m/s momentum and a velocity of 4m/s. what is the mass of the dart in grams?
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer: m = 0.035kg = 35g

Explanation: Momentum p=0.140kgm/s

Velocity v=4m/s

Mass m=?

Formula-

Momentum depends on the mass of the object in motion and its velocity.

The equation for momentum is

p = mv

m = p/v

m = 0.140/4

m = 0.035kg

m = 35g

Hence, in the toy dart gun mass of the dart is 0.035kg.

What is the formula for conservation of momentum
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The general equation for conservation of momentum during a collision between n number of objects is given as: [m i ×v i a ] = [m i ×v i b ] Where m i is the mass of object i , v i a is the velocity of object i before the collision, and v i b is the velocity of object i after the collision.
