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.

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

If 30.45 grams of water is to be heated up 3.3 degrees to make baby
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

A. 420 J

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Mass = 30.45 g

Specific heat capacity = 4.18 J/g °C.

Temperature = 3.3°C

To find the quantity of heat;

Heat capacity is given by the formula;

Q = mct

Where;

Q represents the heat capacity or quantity of heat.

m represents the mass of an object.

c represents the specific heat capacity of water.

t represents the temperature.

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Q = 30.45 * 4.18 * 3.3

Q = 420.03 ≈ 420 Joules

The California sea lion is capable of making extremely fast, tight turns while swimming underwater. In one study, scientists obs
anygoal [31]

Answer:

Acceleration of Sea Lion is 4.41 g

This is 49% of maximum jet acceleration given as a = 9g

Explanation:

As we know that the radius of the circular loop is given as

R = 0.37 m

The speed of the fish is given as

v = 4 m/s

Now the centripetal acceleration of the sea lion is given as

a_c = \frac{v^2}{R}

a_c = \frac{4^2}{0.37}

a_c = 43.2 m/s^2

as we know that

g = 9.8 m/s^2

so we have

a = 4.41 g

Now Percentage of this acceleration wrt maximum jet acceleration is given as

P = \frac{4.41 g}{9g} \times 100

P = 49%

Which wavelength of light is the best choice when attempting to quantitatively relate solution absorbance and concentration?.
ANEK [815]

The optimum wavelength is 450 nm because that is the wavelength of maximum absorbance by FeSCN2+(aq)

you should choose a wavelength with maximum absorbance. In this case, you are using the scattered light, not the absorbed light as your signal. So you should avoid wavelengths where there are absorption peaks.

<h3>What is wavelength ?</h3>

A waveform signal that is carried in space or down a wire has a wavelength, which is the separation between two identical places (adjacent crests) in the consecutive cycles. This length is typically defined in wireless systems in metres (m), centimetres (cm), or millimetres (mm) (mm).

  • The distance between two waves' crests serves as an illustration of wavelength. When you and another person have the same overall mindset and can easily communicate, that is an example of being on the same wavelength.

Goal posts at the ends of football fields are padded as a safety measure for players who might run into them. How does thick pad
zepelin [54]

The answer given by E2020 is

"The padding around the goal post increases the time of the collision between the player and the post, which decreases the force exerted to bring the player to a stop"

Point charges q1 = 14 µC and q2 = −60 µC are fixed at r1 = (5.0î − 4.0ĵ) m and r2 = (9.0î + 7.5ĵ) m. What is the force (in N) of
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

The force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Explanation:

F₂₁ = \frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|}

Where;

F₂₁ is the vector force on q₁ due to q₂

K is the coulomb's constant = 8.99 X 10⁹ Nm²/C²

r₂₁ is the unit vector

|r₂₁| is the magnitude of the unit vector

|q₁| is the absolute charge on point charge one

|q₂| is the absolute charge on point charge two

r₂₁ = [(9-5)i +(7.4-(-4))j] = (4i + 11.5j)

|r₂₁| = \sqrt{(4^2)+(11.5^2)} = \sqrt{148.25}

(|r₂₁|)² = 148.25

F_2_1=\frac{K|q_1|q_2|}{r^2}.\frac{r_2_1}{|r_2_1|} = \frac{8.99X10^9(14X10^{-6})(60X10^{-6})}{148.25}.\frac{(4i + 11.5j)}{\sqrt{148.25} }

      = 0.050938(0.19107i + 0.54933j) N

      = (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N

Therefore, the force on q₁ due to q₂ is (0.00973i + 0.02798j) N
