A freight car moves along a friction less level railroad track at constant speed. The car is open on top. A large load of coal i

s suddenly dumped into the car. What happens to the velocity of the car?

Answer:

The velocity of the freight car decreases.

Explanation:

This question is answered by the conservation of momentum principle.

When the freight car is moving at a certain speed, it has a constant momentum.

We will call this M1.

The equation for M1 will be:

M1 = Mass * Speed

Now when the coal is dumped into the freight car, the Mass increases.

Since conservation of momentum states that the momentum will remain the same. We have:

M1 = (Mass of freight + Mass of coal) * Speed

Since M1 is constant, if the mass increases, the speed had to decrease to keep the equation true.

When a golf club hits a 0.0459 kg ball at rest, it exerts a 2380 N force for 0.00100 s. What is the speed of the ball afterwards
aksik [14]

Answer:

51.85m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball  = 0.0459kg

Force  = 2380N

Time taken  = 0.001s

Unknown:

Speed of the ball afterwards  = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we use Newton's second law of motion:

   F = m x \frac{v - u}{t}  

F is the force

m is the mass

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

t is the time taken

        2380  = 0.0459 x \frac{v- 0}{0.001}  

        0.0459v  = 2.38

                   v = 51.85m/s

What has been happening to the cosmic microwave background radiation since the Big Bang?​
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer:

Explanation:

Cosmologists refer to a "surface of last scattering" when the CMB photons last hit matter; after that, the universe was too big. So when we map the CMB, we are looking back in time to 380,000 years after the Big Bang, just after the universe was opaque to radiation. But the CMB was first found by accident.

Difference between discrete and continuous charge distribution?
Vlada [557]
Discrete systems are those systems in which are made up of finite component particles a which are non-homogeneously arranged such that no smooth variation exists. It is such that all constituent particles have properties which vary randomly. They are direct opposite to continuous systems, which are smooth arrangement of particles which cannot be individually taken into consideration.

In Millikan's oil drop experiment an oil drop is at rest between two large plates separated by 1.3 cm when the potential differe
sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

Mass of the oil drop, m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

Explanation:

Potential difference between the plates, V = 400 V

Separation between plates, d = 1.3 cm = 0.013 m

If the charge carried by the oil drop is that of six electrons, we need to find the mass of the oil drop. It can be calculated by equation electric force and the gravitational force as :

qE=mg

m=\dfrac{qE}{g}

q=6e, e is the charge on electron

E is the electric field, E=\dfrac{V}{d}=\dfrac{400}{0.013}=30769.23\ V/m

m=\dfrac{6\times 1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 30769.23}{9.8}

m=3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg

So, the mass of the oil drop is 3.01\times 10^{-15}\ kg. Hence, this is the required solution.
