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

A 3-m-high, 7-m-wide rectangular gate is hinged at the top edge and is restrained by a fixed ridge. Determine the hydrostatic fo
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

The Hydrostatic force is   F  =  137.2 kN

The location of pressure center is  Z  = 1.333 \ m  

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The height of the gate is  h =  3 \ m

     The weight of the gate is  w =  7 \  m

      The height of the water is  h_w  =  2 \ m

       The density of water is \rho_w  =  1000 \ kg/m^3

Note used h_w for height of water and height of gate immersed by water since both have the same value

The area of the gate immersed in water  is mathematically represented as

         A =  h_w  * w

substituting values

         A =  2*  7

         A =  14  \ m^2

The hydrostatic force is mathematically represented as

          F  =  \rho_w * g * h_f * A

Where

            h_f =h-  h_w

           h_f =3 -2

           h_f = 1\ m  

So  

              F  =  1000 * 9.8 * 1 * 14

            F  =  137.2 kN

The center of pressure is mathematically represented as

        Z  =  h_f + \frac{I_g}{h_f * A}

Where I_g is the moment of inertia of the gate which mathematically represented as

            I_g =  \frac{w * h_w^2}{12}

The h_w is the height of gate immersed in water

            I_g =  \frac{7  * 2^2 }{12}

             I_g = 4.667\ kg  m^2

Thus  

        Z  = 1  + \frac{4.66}{1 * 14}

        Z  = 1.333 \ m

A man pushes his lawnmower with a velocity of +0.75 m/s relative to the ground. A girl rides by on her bike with a velocity of +
SashulF [63]

Answer:

B. +5.75 m/s

Explanation:

When there are two bodies, a and b, whose velocities measured by a third observer (in this case, the ground) are V_a and V_b respectively, the relative velocity of B with respect to A is given by:

V_{ba}=V_b-V_a

Thus, the velocity of the girl relative to the lawnmower is:

V_{ba}=6.5\frac{m}{s}-0.75\frac{m}{s}\\V_{ba}=5.75\frac{m}{s}

A cricket player catches the ball leaning towards to the ground,why?​
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

As it’s difficult to catch it from up.

Gravitational force will pull us when we jump.

If gravity was not there, he could catch the ball. But he will float in the sky after that.

That’s the answer

If the force of a golf club on a golf ball is 200 N forward, what will the force of the ball on the club be? A. 200 N forward B.
Korolek [52]

The ball should put 200 N of force towards the golfer.

Newton's Third Law is every action has an equal and opposite reaction.

It's the ball exerting 200 N of force towards the club as well, but the opposite reaction is that it flies away.
