A railroad car with mass m is moving with an initial velocity v when it collides and connects with a second railroad car with a

mass of 3m, which is initially at rest. How do the speed and momentum of the connected car system compare with those of the car with mass m before the collision

Answer:

Same momentum but speed is reduced 4 times.

Explanation:

According to the law of momentum conservation, the total momentum of the system before and after the collision is the same

Before the collision, the bigger car is at rest, only the 1st car of mass m is moving at speed v

p = mv

After the collision, both cars are connected and moving at speed V

P = (m + 3m)V = 4mV

These 2 momentum are equal

p = P

mv = 4mV

V = v/4

So after the collision, they have the same momentum but the speed decreased 4 times

LOTS OF POINTSA rocket of mass 40 000 kg takes off and flies to a height of 2.5 km as its engines produce 500 000 N of thrust.
Svetradugi [14.3K]

Answer:

i) E = 269 [MJ]    ii)v = 116 [m/s]

Explanation:

This is a problem that encompasses the work and principle of energy conservation.

In this way, we establish the equation for the principle of conservation and energy.

i)

E_{k1}+W_{1-2}=E_{k2}\\where:\\E_{k1}= kinetic energy at moment 1\\W_{1-2}= work between moments 1 and 2.\\E_{k2}= kinetic energy at moment 2.

W_{1-2}= (F*d) - (m*g*h)\\W_{1-2}=(500000*2.5*10^3)-(40000*9.81*2.5*10^3)\\W_{1-2}= 269*10^6[J] or 269 [MJ]

At that point the speed 1 is equal to zero, since the maximum height achieved was 2.5 [km]. So this calculated work corresponds to the energy of the rocket.

Er = 269*10^6[J]

ii ) With the energy calculated at the previous point, we can calculate the speed developed.

E_{k2}=0.5*m*v^2\\269*10^6=0.5*40000*v^2\\v=\sqrt{\frac{269*10^6}{0.5*40000} }\\ v=116[m/s]

Answer:

34883.7

Explanation:

Primero hay que convertir las dos unidades a la misma unidad-cm-

3km- 300000 cm

86mm- 8.6mm

Después hay que dividir

300000/8.6= 34883.7209302 ~ 34883.7

nasty-shy [4]

The cost of developing thermonuclear power with plasmabe defended because D. It can provide an inexpensive power source.

<h3>How did the cost of developing thermonuclear power defended?</h3>

The  cost of developing thermonuclear power defended becvause we can see in the paragraph how it was told that the generation of ths power can be donee through the understanding of  the occurrence of plasmain nature,

It should be noted that this  thermonuclear power with plasmabe  posses the characteristics which make it to exist in the ionosphere, and it can be felt in the flames as well; as in the chemical and nuclearexplosions.

In conclusion the power can be seen as an inexpensive source power because the p[roduction of this power cn be found in most of the thing that can be found around us as discused above.

Therefore, option D is correct.
