A freight train is accelerating on a level track. The tension in the coupling between the engine and the first freight car would

change if some of the cargo in the last car were transfered to other cars?
Physics

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law, the tension between the engine and the 1st freight cars would equals to the force required to pull all the freight cars from the 1st one on ward. In addition, Newton's 2nd law states that the F = ma, which means that force is proportional to the mass of all the freight cars, given that the freight train is accelerating. So if some of the cargo in the last car were transferred to other cars, their total mass would stay the same, and so as force F and tension.

The earth has a mass ME = 5.98 · 1024 kg and the moon has a mass MM = 7.36 · 1022 kg. The distance from the center of the earth
ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

2 x 10^20 N

Explanation:

Me = 5.98 x 10^24 kg

Mm = 7.36 x 10^22 kg

r = 3.82 x 10^5 km = 3.82 x 10^8 m

The gravitational force between earth and moon is

F = G Me x Mm / r^2

F = (6.67 x 10^-11 x  5.98 x 10^24 x 7.36 x 10^22) / (3.82 x 10^8 x 3.82 x 10^8)

F = 2 x 10^20 N

viva [34]

Answer:

the acceleration during the collision is: - 5  \frac{m}{s^2}

Explanation:

Using the formula:

a=\frac{\Delta\,v}{\Delta\,t}

we get:

a=\frac{-0.4-0.6}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =\frac{-1}{0.2} \,\frac{m}{s^2} =-5\,\,\frac{m}{s^2}
