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

rewona [7]3 years ago

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.

Three long, straight wires are carrying currents that have the same magnitude. In C the current is opposite to that in A and B.
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:

(b) B

Explanation:

The direction of force on a current carrying wire in a magnetic field can be found using the right hand rule, which states that-"stretch the thumb in the direction of the current, and point the fingers in the direction of magnetic field. The direction of palm will then give the direction of force on the wire

On wire B the forces due to A and C act in the same direction and so strengthen each other. they get added up because the forces act in the same direction.

on wires A and C the forces (due to B and C and A and B

respectively) act in opposite directions and therefore tend to cancel out.

What is the flow rate of water in a pipe flowing full with an area of 0.3 m2 and velocity of 2.5 m/s?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

0.75 m³/s

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = vA.................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate of the water, v = velocity of the water, A = area of the pipe.

From the question,

Given: v = 2.5 m/s, A = 0.3 m²

Substitute these values into equation 1

Q = 2.5(0.3)

Q = 0.75 m³/s

Hence the flow rate of water in the pipe is 0.75 m³/s
