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.

You are a crane operator using a wrecking ball to demolish an old building. You can choose to use a 100-kg ball or a 150-kg ball
Elenna [48]

Answer:

The answer to the question is

The two balls, although of different masses, could be made to have the same demolishing force by setting the velocity of the 100 kg ball to 1.5 times the velocity of the 150 kg ball.

That is if V₁ is the velocity of the 150 kg ball and  V₂ is the velocity of the 100 kg ball then V₂  = 1.5×V₁ for the demolishing effect of the two balls to be equal.

Explanation:

To answer the we are required to explain the meaning of momentum and state its properties

Momentum is a physical property of an object in motion. It indicates the amount of motion inherent in the object.  An object in motion is said to have momentum

The types of momentum possessed by an object can be classified into either

1, Linear momentum or

2. Angular momentum

An object moving with a velocity, v has linear momentum while a spinning object has an angular momentum

The momentum is given by the formula

P = m × V

Where m = mass and

V = velocity

Newtons second law of motion states that, the force acting on an object is equivalent to the rate of change of momentum produced and acting in the direction of the force

Properties of momentum

From the above statements it means that the two balls can be made equivalent by having the appropriate amount of speed. That iis the two balls can have the same momentum thus for equal momentum effect, we have

150 kg × V₁ = 100 kg × V₂

or V₂ = 1.5×V₁

A pilot can withstand an acceleration of up to 9g, which is about 88 m/s2, before blacking out. What is the acceleration experie
Harman [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that, the pilot can withstand 9g acceleration which is approximately 88m/s².

Now, the pilot is traveling in a circle of radius

r = 3340 m

And the speed is

v = 495 m/s

Then, acceleration?

The acceleration of a circular motion can be determine using centripetal acceleration

a = v² / r

a = 495² / 3340

a = 73.36 m/s².

Since the acceleration is less that the acceleration the pilot can withstand, then, I think the pilot makes the turn without blacking out and successfully
