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.

A dart with mass md is launched toward a block of mass mb that is suspended from a string of length L. The dart is moving horizo
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

A) Impulse is the same for both the objects

B) The higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

Explanation:

Part a)

The time of interaction of the two bodies i.e the hanging mass and the stick is same. Thus, force caused by dart on the block = force caused by block on the dart. Hence, impulse is the same for both the objects.  

Part B

The energy will be conserved in the entire reaction process

Hence, Kinetic energy = potential energy

0.5Mv^2 = gh(md+mb)

H is directly proportional to the square of speed.  

Hence, the higher is the speed, the greater will be the height.

What makes psychoanalysis different from behaviorism?
svp [43]
Psychoanalysis is a form of therapy that treats mental disorders through different ways, such as dream interpretation. It is a way of looking into the line between conscious and <span>unconsciousness </span>

Behaviorism is a theory that says that mental disorders are treated better with altering the persons behavior patterns.

I think they're different because behaviorism is just simply a theory and not actually a form of therapy.

Hopefully that helps you tell them apart!

One wire carries a current of I1= 2 Amps, and the other carries a parallel current (same direction, wires are side by side) of I
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:F=3\times 10^{-5} N

Explanation:

Given

I_1=2 Amps

I_2=0.75 Amps

Length of each wires\left ( L\right )=5 m

Distance between wires \left ( r\right )=5 cm

Force per unit length =\frac{\mu_0I_1I_2}{2\pi r}

F'=\frac{2\times 10^{-7}\times 2\times 0.75}{2\pi \times 0.05}

F'=6\times 10^{-6}

Force for L=5 m

F=3\times 10^{-5} N

vovikov84 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

density of galaxies would be \frac{1}{0.27^3} times higher which is equal to 50.81.

It means  in a cube that today contains one galaxy the size of the Milky Way, we would instead find 50.81 galaxies this size.

You can round this off to 52
