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

Dvinal [7]
I attached the full question.
We know that for a parallel-plate capacitor the surface charge density is given by the following formula:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{V}{d}
Where V is the voltage between the plates and d is separation.
Voltage is by definition:
V=Ed
Voltage is analog to the mechanical work done by the force.
Above formula is correct only If the field is constant, and we can assume that it is since no function has been given.
The charge density would then be:
\sigma=\varepsilon_0 \frac{Ed}{d}=\varepsilon_0E\\&#10;\sigma= 8.85\cdot10^{-12}\cdot 2.1\cdot 10^6= 0.0000185\frac{c}{m^2}
Please note that elecric permittivity of air is very close to  elecric permittivity of vacum, it is common to use them <span>interchangeably</span>.

How does the magnitude of the electrical force between a pair of charged particles change when they are brought to half their or
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

5. Quadruple

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged particles is given by:

F=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2}

where

k is the Coulomb's constant

q1, q2 are the two charges

r is the separation between the charges

If the distance between the charges is reduced to half,

r' = \frac{r}{2}

So the new force will be

F'=k\frac{q_1 q_2}{(r/2)^2}=4(k\frac{q_1 q_2}{r^2})=4F

So, the force will quadruple.

1.) What causes ocean tides
BigorU [14]

Answer: Tides are periodic rises and falls of large bodies of water. Tides are caused by gravitational interaction between the earth and the moon. The gravitational attraction of the moon causes the oceans to bulge out in the direction of the moon.
