Railroad car A, with mass 6275 kg, is traveling east at 6.5 m/s along a straight track. It strikes railroad car B, with mass 515

5 kg, which is also traveling east along the same track at 3.8 m/s. The two railroad cars stick together. Assume the track is frictionless.
How Fast do the two attached railroad cars move immediately after the collision?

The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of A is 6275kg

Speed of A is 6.5m/s

Mass of B is 5155kg

Speed of B is 3.8m/s

Track is frictionless.

A and B stick together.

speed of attached A and B = ?

mₐsₐ + mᵇsᵇ = (mₐ + mb) s

6275 X 6.5 + 5155 X 3.8 = ( 6275 + 5155) X s\\\\s = \frac{40787.5 + 19589}{11430}\\ \\s = \frac{60376.5}{11430}\\ \\s = 5.28m/s

Therefore, The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

1. Traveling by car means you have specific roads to follow. You won’t be able to go straight to Banning high from POLAHS. The 8.4km will be defined as distance. Traveling by helicopter you don’t have roads to follow that means you can fly directly to banning high. 6.8km will be defined as displacement.

2. A) 400m
B)0m
C)d=1/2(vi+vf)t
400=1/2(0+vf)92
8.7m/s
D) 0m/s
E) Not sure but instantaneous velocity refer to velocity at a given point. Average velocity is just the average. Usually instantaneous velocity won’t be same as the average velocity.
Plz like if it helped.

A child on a tricycle is moving at a speed of 1.40 m/s at the start of a 2.25 m high and 12.4 m long incline. The total mass is
goblinko [34]

Answer:

The work done by the child as the tricycle travels down the incline is 416.96 J

Explanation:

Given;

initial velocity of the child, v_i = 1.4 m/s

final velocity of the child, v_f = 6.5 m/s

initial height of the inclined plane, h = 2.25 m

length of the inclined plane, L = 12.4 m

total mass, m = 48 kg

frictional force, f_k = 41 N

The work done by the child is calculated as;

\Delta E_{mech} = W - f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \Delta E_{mech}  + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = (K.E_f - K.E_i) + (P.E_f - P.E_i) + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} m(v_f^2 - v_i^2) + mg(h_f - h_i) + f_{k} \Delta L\\\\W = \frac{1}{2} \times 48(6.5^2 - 1.4^2) + 48\times 9.8(0-2.25) + (41\times 12.4)\\\\W = 966.96  \ - \ 1058.4 \ + \ 508.4\\\\W = 416.96 \ J

Therefore, the work done by the child as the tricycle travels down the incline is 416.96 J

) A striker can give the ball an initial speed of 30m/s. Within what two elevation angles must he kick
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

  about 19.6° and 73.2°

Explanation:

The equation for ballistic motion in Cartesian coordinates for some launch angle α can be written ...

  y = -4.9(x/s·sec(α))² +x·tan(α)

where s is the launch speed in meters per second.

We want y=2.44 for x=50, so this resolves to a quadratic equation in tan(α):

  -13.6111·tan(α)² +50·tan(α) -16.0511 = 0

This has solutions ...

  tan(α) = 0.355408 or 3.31806

The corresponding angles are ...

  α = 19.5656° or 73.2282°

The elevation angle must lie between 19.6° and 73.2° for the ball to score a goal.

_____

I find it convenient to use a graphing calculator to find solutions for problems of this sort. In the attachment, we have used x as the angle in degrees, and written the function so that x-intercepts are the solutions.

What does training for hypertrophy do to your body
VikaD [51]

Answer:

The answer is A.

Explanation:

Hypertrophy is an increase and growth of muscle cells. Hypertrophy refers to an increase in muscular size achieved through exercise. When you work out, if you want to tone or improve muscle definition, lifting weights is the most common way to increase hypertrophy.

Hope that helped.

The direction of deflection of an electron beam in a magnetic field can be determined by which of the following?
amid [387]

Answer:

Right Hand Rule

Explanation:

When a charged particle travels in a magnetic field, it experiences a force whose magnitude is given by:

F=qvBsin\theta

where

q is the charge of the particle

v is the velocity

B is the magnetic field strength

\theta is the angle between the directions of v and B

The direction of the force can be determined by using the Right Hand Rule, as follows:

- index finger: this should be put in the direction of the velocity

- middle finger: this should be put in the direction of the magnetic field

- thumb: this will give the direction of the force -> however, for a negative charge (as the electron) the direction must be reversed, so it will be opposite.
