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 garden hose has a radius of 0.0120 m, and water initially comes out at a speed of 2.88m/s. Dasha puts her thumb over the end ,
creativ13 [48]

Answer:

v = 12.4 [m/s]

Explanation:

With the speed and Area information, we can determine the volumetric flow.

V=v*A\\A=\pi *r^{2}

where:

r = radius = 0.0120 [m]

v = 2.88 [m/s]

A=\pi *(0.0120)^{2} \\A=4.523*10^{-4} [m]\\

Therefore the flow is:

V=2.88*4.523*10^{-4} \\V=1.302*10^{-3} [m^{3}/s ]

Despite the fact that you cover the inlet with the finger, the volumetric flow rate is the same.

v=V/A\\v=1.302*10^{-3} /1.05*10^{-4} \\v=12.4[m/s]
