Let say the two train cars are of masses m_1 and m_2

now if the speed of two cars are v_1 and v_2

then we can say that the momentum of two cars before they collide is given by

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

here two cars are moving in opposite direction so we can say that the net momentum is subtraction of two cars momentum.

Now since in these two car motion there is no external force on them while they collide

So the momentum of two cars are always conserved.

hence we can say that the final momentum of two cars will be same after collision as it is before collision

P = m_1v_1 - m_2v_2

If a gas has a gage pressure of 156 kPa, it is absolute pressure is approximately
Art [367]
In the given question, one important information for getting to the actual solution is not given and that is the atmospheric pressure. To find the approximate absolute pressure, it is needed to add the value of atmospheric pressure with the gage pressure.
Atmospheric pressure = 100 kPa
Then
Absolute pressure = 156 + 100 kPa
                             = 256 KPa.

A force of 9 pounds stretches a spring 1 foot. A mass weighing 6.4 pounds is attached to the spring, and the system is then imme
mart [117]

Answer:

\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0

Explanation:

let m be the mass attached, let k be the spring constant and let \beta be the positive damping constant.

-By Newton's second law:

m\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}=-kx-\beta \frac{dx}{dt}

where x(t) is the displacement from equilibrium position. The equation can be transformed into:

\frac{d^2x}{dt^2}+\frac{\beta}{m}\frac{dx}{dt}+\frac{k}{m}x=0  shich is the equation of motion.

An isolated conducting sphere has a 10 cm radius. One wire carries a current of 1.000 002 0 A into it. Another wire carries a cu
romanna [79]

Answer:

t = 5.56 ms

Explanation:

Given:-

- The current carried in, Iin = 1.000002 C

- The current carried out, Iout = 1.00000 C

- The radius of sphere, r = 10 cm

Find:-

How long would it take for the sphere to increase in potential by 1000 V?

Solution:-

- The net charge held by the isolated conducting sphere after (t) seconds would be:

                                   qnet = (Iin - Iout)*t

                                   qnet = t*(1.000002 - 1.00000) = 0.000002*t

- The Volt potential on the surface of the conducting sphere according to Coulomb's Law derived result is given by:

                                   V = k*qnet / r

Where,                        k = 8.99*10^9   ..... Coulomb's constant

                                   qnet = V*r / k

                                   t = 1000*0.1 / (8.99*10^9 * 0.000002)

                                   t = 5.56 ms

How does charging by conduction work?
anzhelika [568]

Answer:

During charging by conduction, both objects acquire the same type of charge. If a negative object is used to charge a neutral object, then both objects become charged negatively. ... In this case, electrons are transferred from the neutral object to the positively charged rod and the sphere becomes charged positively.

How do we move in space without any friction?
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

The Physical Behavior of Objects when Gravity is Missing

In order to be able to form a concept of the general physical conditions existing in a weightless state, the following must be noted: the force of the Earth's gravity pulling all masses down to the ground and thus ordering them according to a certain regularity is no longer active.
