On Earth, gravity adds 9.8 m/s to the downwsrd speed of any falling object, every second. Beginning from zero downward speed, the speed grows to (8 x 9.8) = 78.4 m/s downward after 8 sec.
The interaction of electric currents or fields and magnetic fields.
Answer:
The speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 16000 kg
Speed of the railroad car, v₁ = 23 m/s
Mass of additional load, m₂ = 5400 kg
The additional load is dropped onto the car. Let v will be its speed. On applying the conservation of momentum as :



v = 17.19 m/s
So, the speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
