A 13,500 kg railroad freight car travels on a level track at a speed of 4.5 m/s. It collided and coupled with a 25,000 kg second

car, initially at rest and with brakes released. What is the speed of the two cars after collision

Answer: 1.6m/s

Explanation:

M1 = 13500kg

U1 = 4.5m/s

M2 = 25000kg

U2 = 0m/s (since the body is at rest)

V = ? (Common velocity or velocity after impact)

M1U1 + M2U2 = (M1 + M2)V

But U2 = 0

M1U1 = (M1 + M2)V

13500 * 4.5 = (13500 + 25000)v

60750 = 38500v

V = 60750 / 38500 = 1.5779 = 1.6m/s

A cat runs and jumps from one roof top to another which is 5 m away and 3 m below. Calculate the minimum horizontal speed with w
icang [17]
ThIs is the same type of problem
find out the time value
3 = 1/2*a*T^2
6/10 = t^2
t = 0.77 seconds
and the distance is given 5 m
thus speed ,= distance/time
speed = 5/0.77
= 6.45 m/s

Do you think the plan for the skyscraper in California is appropriate based on its location? Why or why not? Your answer should
Anettt [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

No because like my other answer if we put to many diesels on it it will crack and little by little it will break eventually everyone will come tumbling into the water making them drown because they can't get the buckles loose or they wanted to save their families lives

A roller coaster car may be approximated by a block of mass m. Thecar, which starts from rest, is released at a height h above t
elena55 [62]

Answer:

The first part can be solved via conservation of energy.

mgh = mg2R + K\\K = mg(h-2R)

For the second part,

the free body diagram of the car should be as follows:

- weight in the downwards direction

- normal force of the track to the car in the downwards direction

The total force should be equal to the centripetal force by Newton's Second Law.

F = ma = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\mg + N = \frac{mv^2}{R}

where N = 0 because we are looking for the case where the car loses contact.

mg = \frac{mv^2}{R}\\v^2 = gR\\v = \sqrt{gR}

Now we know the minimum velocity that the car should have. Using the energy conservation found in the first part, we can calculate the minimum height.

mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}mv^2\\mgh = mg2R + \frac{1}{2}m(gR)\\gh = g2R + \frac{1}{2}gR\\h = 2R + \frac{R}{2}\\h = \frac{5R}{2}

Explanation:

The point that might confuse you in this question is the direction of the normal force at the top of the loop.

We usually use the normal force opposite to the weight. However, normal force is the force that the road exerts on us. Imagine that the car goes through the loop very very fast. Its tires will feel a great amount of normal force, if its velocity is quite high. By the same logic, if its velocity is too low, it might not feel a normal force at all, which means losing contact with the track.
