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

The drawing shows a tire of radius R on a moving car
masha68 [24]

Answer:

 H / R = 2/3

Explanation:

Let's work this problem with the concepts of energy conservation. Let's start with point P, which we work as a particle.

Initial. Lowest point

          Em₀ = K = 1/2 m v²

Final. In the sought height

         Em_{f} = U = mg h

Energy is conserved

        Em₀ =  Em_{f}

        ½ m v² = m g h

        v² = 2 gh

Now let's work with the tire that is a cylinder with the axis of rotation in its center of mass

Initial. Lower

        Em₀ = K = ½ I w²

Final. Heights sought

        Emf = U = m g R

        Em₀ =  Em_{f}

       ½ I w² = m g R

The moment of inertial of a cylinder is

       I = I_{cm} + ½ m R²

      I= ½ I_{cm}  + ½ m R²

Linear and rotational speed are related

       v = w / R

       w = v / R

We replace

      ½ I_{cm}  w² + ½ m R² w²  = m g R

moment of inertia of the center of mass      

      I_{cm}  = ½ m R²

     ½ ½ m R² (v²/R²) + ½ m v² = m gR

    m v² ( ¼ + ½ ) = m g R

   

       v² = 4/3 g R

As they indicate that the linear velocity of the two points is equal, we equate the two equations

        2 g H = 4/3 g R

         H / R = 2/3

A 10 g bullet is fired into, and embeds itself in, a 2 kg block attached to a spring with a force constant of 19.6 n/m and whose
dmitriy555 [2]

Answer:

x=0.478\ m is the compression in the spring

Explanation:

Given:

  • mass of the bullet, m=10\ g=0.01\ kg
  • mass of block, M=2\ kg
  • stiffness constant of the spring, k=19.6\ N.m^{-1}
  • initial velocity of the spring just before it hits the block, u=300\ m.s^{-1}

<u>Now since the bullet-mass gets embed into the block, we apply the conservation of momentum as:</u>

m.u=(M+m).v

0.01\times 300=(2+0.01)\times v

v=1.4925\ m.s^{-1}

Now this kinetic energy of the combined mass gets converted into potential energy of the spring.

\rm Kinetic\ energy=Spring\ potential\ energy

\frac{1}{2} (M+m).v^2=\frac{1}{2} k.x^2

\frac{1}{2} \times (2+0.01)\times 1.4925^2=\frac{1}{2} \times 19.6\times x^2

x=0.478\ m is the compression in the spring

k0ka [10]

Answer:

a) F₁₂₀ = 1.34 pa A  , b)  F₂₀ = 0.746 pa A

Explanation:

Part. A .    The definition of pressure is

         P = F / A

As the air can approach an ideal gas we can use the ideal gas equation

        P V = n R T

Let's write this equation for two temperatures

       P₁ V = n R T₁

       P₂2 V = n R T₂

       P₁ / P₂ = T₁ / T₂

point 1 has a pressure of P₁ = pa and a temperature of (20 + 273) K, point 2 is at (120 + 273) K, we calculate the pressure P₂

       P₂ = P₁ T₂ / T₁

       P₂ = pa 393/293

       P₂ = 1.34 pa

We calculate the strength

       P₂ = F₁₂₀ / A

       F₁₂₀ = 1.34 pa A

Part B

In this case the data is

Point 1 has a temperature of 393K and an atmospheric pressure (P₁ = pa), point 2 has a temperature of 293K, let's calculate its pressure

        P₁ / P₂ = T₁ / T₂

       P₂ = P₁ T₂ / T₁

       P₂ = pa 293/393

       P₂ = 0.746 pa

Let's calculate the force (F20), from this point

      F₂₀ / A = 0.746 pa

     F₂₀ = 0.746 pa A
