Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed v0. A fourth car traveling east at 2v0 catches up with t

he three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the tracks, and it couples to make a five-car train.
What is the speed of the five-car train?

Express your answer in terms of v0

Answer:

1v_0

Explanation:

Assuming that cars 4 and 5 have same mass so that the momentum  

P=mv where m is mass and v is velocity hence

Momentum=0+2mv+3mv=5mv

The final mass is 2m+3m=5m

From aw of conservation of momentum

5mv_0=5mv hence v=1v_o

Therefore, the speed is 1v_0

hich one of the following statements could be an operational definition of electric current?View Available Hint(s)Which one of t
klemol [59]

Answer:

it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

Explanation:

The definition of electric current is

         I = dQ / dt

By convention the direction of the current is the direction in which a positive charge flows.

The initial expression is the derivative that is the change of the load in the unit of time and this occurs in a given cross-sectional cable.

The proposed definition is the same as this, so it is True as the operational definition of electric current.

A woman experiences an electrical shock. The electrons making the shock come from the A woman experiences an electrical shock. T
Zinaida [17]

The electrons making the shock come from the women's body.

<h3>What is Electric shock ?</h3>

When a high voltage current flows through the body, electrical shock results. When someone unintentionally touches an electrical source, this typically occurs. Treatment for both internal and exterior burns may be necessary as part of the aftercare.

The nervous system may be impacted by a shock.

The tissue that makes up nerves presents extremely minimal resistance to the flow of an electric charge. Electric shocks that impact nerves can cause pain, tingling, numbness, weakness, or trouble moving a limb. These effects might disappear with time or remain for good.

How to Prevent from Electrical Shocks –

  • Keep the Appliances Away from Moisture and Water.
  • Never Connect or Disconnect Under Load.
  • Be Careful with Capacitors.
  • Use Insulated Tools.
  • Turn Off the Power.
  • Check for Improper or Faulty Wiring.
  • Fix Extension Cord Problems.

A red train traveling at 72 km/hr and a green train traveling at 144 km/hr are headed toward one another along a straight level
Temka [501]
First, convert all the km/hr into m/s

You will get that
initial speed = 20 m/s
Initial speed of Green train = 40 m/s
Initial separation = 950 m
Velocity of approach =  20 - -40 = 60 m/s
relative acceleration = -4 m/s^2

v = u + at
0 = 60 - 4t

t = 15s

s = ut + 1/2  *at * t

s = 60 * 15  - 1/2 *4 * 225
s = 900 - 450

Separation when they stop  = 450 m

hope this helps
