An open train car moves with speed 18.5 m/s on a flat frictionless railroad track, with no engine pulling the car. It begins to

rain. The rain falls straight down and begins to fill the train car.Does the speed of the car decrease , increase ,or stay the same ? Explain.

Answer:

The speed decreases.

Explanation:

This can be explained using the conservation of linear momentum.

Since there is no friction, the initial moment of the train must be equal to its linear moment after it is filled with water.

the initial linear momentum is

m_{1}v_{1}

where m_{1} is the initial mass of the train, and v_{1} the initial speed of the train.

And linear momentum after the water filled the train car is

m_{2}v_{2}

where m_{2} is mass of the train after the  rain, and v_{2} the speed of the train after the rain

<u>the equality must be fulfilled:</u>

m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

We know that if water is added to the train, m_{2} that is the mass after the water is added, is greater than m_{1} which is the mass of the train without the water.

Therefore, in order for the conservation of the linear momentum to be fulfilled: m_{1}v_{1}=m_{2}v_{2}

the speed after the water is added (v_{2} ) must be smaller than the initial train speed (v_{1} ) . So the speed of the car decreases.

Elabora una tabla, como la del ejemplo, con los resultados obtenidos en los test que desarrollaste en actividades anteriores. Lu
rodikova [14]

Explanation:

Clear rendering reads;

"Make a table, like the one in the example, with the results obtained in the tests you carried out in previous activities. Then answer: What do these results indicate regarding your physical condition and how do they relate to your health? From your answers, consider the challenge of improving your physical condition by maintaining or improving your exercise routine or permanent practice of physical activity".

So the incomplete text above it seems you've been instructed to perform an experiment and then state your result/analysis.

xxTIMURxx [149]

Answer:

5N

Explanation:

We have a simple problem of momentum here.

ΔMomentum= mΔv= FΔt

Solve for F

mΔv/Δt=F

Plug in givens

1*(2-1.5)/0.1=F

F=5N
