Answer: 0.7135m/s

<h3>Explanation: M1(mass of the train) = 12000kg</h3><h3>U1(initial velocity of the train) = 2.2m/s</h3><h3>M2(mass of boxcars) = 25000kg</h3><h3>U2(initial velocity of the boxcars which is at rest) = 0</h3><h3>V = common velocity of train and boxcars since the collision was inelastics.</h3><h3>M1U1+M2U2 = (M1+M2)V</h3><h3>12000kg×2.2m/s+25000kg×0m/s = (12000kg+25000kg)V</h3><h3>⇒26400 + 0 = 37000V</h3><h3>V = 0.7135m/s</h3><h3 />

Answer:

V = 0.714m/s

Explanation:

Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.

Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.

See the attachment below for the solution calculation.

Un alumno menciona que al abrir la ventana de su casa sintió cómo el frío ingresaba a su cuerpo. Menciona cuál es la verdadera r
stepan [7]

Answer:

My believe the answer is

A.) or B.)

Explanation:

Here is why I think A is the answer.

If we use the process of elimination, it would look like this,

a) Porque el aire tiene una temperatura menor que la de su cuerpo; por eso se propaga más rápido.

<em>This makes sense because we all know in winter the weather is very cold and freezing.</em>

b) Porque la temperatura de su cuerpo, siente el aire frio que entra por la ventana.

<em>I feel like this answer is the question, but it could also be an answer, sorry, I'm a little uncertain.</em>

c) Porque el calor de su cuerpo se propaga al medio ambiente, al ser la temperatura del niño mayor que la del aire exterior.

<em>This answer has nothing to do with the question, plus it is very false, our body heat is not enough to overcome the very cold temperature from outside.</em>

d) Porque la temperatura del aire es igual a la temperatura del cuerpo.

<em>This is false because again our body heat is not even compared to the freezing cold temperatures from the winter.</em>

A standard 1 kilogram weight is a cylinder 54.0 mm in height and 55.0 mm in diameter. what is the density of the material
denis-greek [22]

The radius of the cylinder is equal to half the diameter:

r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{55.0 mm}{2}=27.5 mm

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

V=\pi r^2 h=\pi (27.5 mm)^2 (54.0 mm)=1.28 \cdot 10^5 mm^3

where h is the heigth of the cylinder. Converting into meters,

V=1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3

And the density of the material will be given by the ratio between the mass and the volume:

d=\frac{m}{V}=\frac{1 kg}{1.28 \cdot 10^{-4} m^3}=7812.5 kg/m^3

Which of these statements is correct about photosynthesis and decomposition?
Ede4ka [16]
<span>The last option. Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from the soil and other nutrients also from the soil - salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. They use water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar through photosyntesis. Decomposition is the reaction that converts any organic compound back into inorganic compounds - water, carbon dioxide and salts containing nitrogene, potassium, sulphur, etc. So it's basically the opposite. So photosyntesis uses carbon dioxide as a reactive and take it from the atmosphere, whereas decomposition generates carbon dioxide as a product and releases it to the atmosphere.</span>
