A light train made up of two cars is traveling at 100 km/h when the brakes are applied to both cars. Knowing that car A has a ma
ss of 35 Mg and car B a mass of 20 Mg, and that the braking force is 35 kN on each car, determine (a) the distance traveled by the train before it comes to a stop, (b) the force in the coupling between the cars while the train is showing down.

Answer:
1) Final Temperature of the gas in A will be GREATER than the temperature in B
2) Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below
3) The Initial pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters
4) the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³
Explanation:
Given that;
Temperature = 20°C = 293 K
mass of piston = 10 kg
Area = 100cm³
Volume V = 800 cm³ = 0.8 L
ideal gas constant R = 8.3 J/K·mol
1)
Final Temperature of the gas in A will b GREATER than the temperature in B
2)
Diagram of both processes on a single PV has been uploaded below,
3)
Initial pressures in containers A and B
PV = nRT
P = RT/V
we substitute
P = (8.3 × 293) / 0.8
P = 2431.9 / 0.8
P = 3039.87 J/liters
Therefore, The Initial pressures in containers A and B is 3039.87 J/liters
4)
Given that;
power = 25 W
time t = 15s
the final volume of container B = ?
we know that;
work done = power × time
work done = 25 × 15 = 375
Also work done = P( V₂ - V₁ )
so we substitute
375 = 3039.87 ( V₂ - 0.8 )
( V₂ - 0.8 ) = 375 / 3039.87
V₂ - 0.8 = 0.12336
V₂ = 0.12336 + 0.8
V₂ = 0.92336 Litres
V₂ = 923.36 cm³
Therefore, the final volume of container B is 923.36 cm³
