(a) A load of coal is dropped (straight down) from a bunker into a railroad hopper car of inertia 3.0 × 104 kg coasting at 0.50

m/s on a level track. The car’s speed is 0.30 m/s after the coal lands on it. Use this to determine the inertia of the load of coal. (b) If right after after this a second load of coal (of the same mass) is dropped into the same car, what will be the new final speed of the car?

Answer:

a) m=20000Kg

b) v=0.214m/s

Explanation:

We will separate the problem in 3 parts, part A when there were no coals on the car, part B when there is 1 coal on the car and part C when there are 2 coals on the car. Inertia is the mass in this case.

For each part, and since the coals are thrown vertically, the horizontal linear momentum p=mv must be conserved, that is, p=m_Av_A=m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C, were each velocity refers to the one of the car (with the eventual coals on it) for each part, and each mass the mass of the car (with the eventual coals on it) also for each part. We will write the mass of the hopper car as m_h, and the mass of the first and second coals as m_1 and m_2 respectively

We start with the transition between parts A and B, so we have:

m_Av_A=m_Bv_B

Which means

m_hv_A=(m_h+m_1)v_B

And since we want the mass of the first coal thrown (m_1) we do:

m_hv_A=m_hv_B+m_1v_B

m_hv_A-m_hv_B=m_1v_B

m_1=\frac{m_hv_A-m_hv_B}{v_B}=\frac{m_h(v_A-v_B)}{v_B}

Substituting values we obtain

m_1=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg)(0.5m/s-0.3m/s)}{0.3m/s}=20000Kg=2\times10^4Kg

For the transition between parts B and C, we can write:

m_Bv_B=m_Cv_C

Which means

(m_h+m_1)v_B=(m_h+m_1+m_2)v_C

Since we want the new final speed of the car (v_C) we do:

v_C=\frac{(m_h+m_1)v_B}{(m_h+m_1+m_2)}

Substituting values we obtain

v_C=\frac{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)(0.3m/s)}{(3\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg+2\times10^4Kg)}=0.214m/s

What are some examples of non-inertial reference frames?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Examples of non-inertial reference frames

One clearcut example of an inertial reference frame is an isolated spaceship, far, far away from the Earth, the Sun, the Milky Way Galaxy, and all other massive objects. Fred places a blue ball into a claw at the left end of the ship, and red ball into a claw at the right end of the ship.

Explanation:

Let us say that you are in a car at a stop light. The car is standing still. The light turns green, and the car accelerates forward. While undergoing this acceleration, the car is a non-inertial frame of reference.

If a transparent blue filter is placed over a camera lens, what happens to visible light entering it
Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

If you pass white light through a blue filter, then only blue color will appear on the other end. This is because a blue filter will only allow blue light through it. And will absorb other color. In other words the rest colors would disappear. Hence the camera would receive just blue light. This phenomenon is referred to as color by subtraction.

What will happen to the current if the voltage is reduced to one half? ​
stira [4]
We use v=IR and assuming the resistance doesn’t change we can also say that the voltage and current (I) are directly proportional which means the voltage also decreases by 1/2

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects having mass. The gravitational force will be 4.16\times10^{23}.

<h3>What is the gravitational force?</h3>

The gravitational force is s type of force that has the ability to attract any two objects with mass. Gravitational force tries to pull two masses towards each other.

                      F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }

Given,

mass of the sun (m_1)= 1.99\times10^{23} kg

mass of Jupiter(m_2)= 7.79\times10^{8} kg

distance between the sun and Jupiter (r)= 1.90\times10^{27} m

F= G\frac{m_1m_2}{r^{2} }\\\\\\F=4.16\times10^{23}\times\frac{1.99\times10^{23}\times7.79\times10^{8}}{({1.90\times10^{27})^2} }

F= 4.16\times(10)^{23}   Newton

Hence the gravitational force between the sun and Jupiter will be 4.16\times10^{23}
