Professional Application: A 30,000-kg freight car is coasting at 0.850 m/s with negligible friction under a hopper that dumps 11

0,000 kg of scrap metal into it. (a) What is the final velocity of the loaded freight car?

Answer:

0.182 m/s

Explanation:

m1 = 30,000 kg, m2 = 110,000 kg, u1 = 0.85 m/s

let the velocity of loaded freight car is v

Use the conservation of momentum

m1 x u1 + m2 x 0 = (m1 + m2) x v

30,000 x 0.85 = (30,000 + 110,000) x v

v = 0.182 m/s

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

First: Leave a couple inches of wire loose at one end and wrap most of the rest of the wire around iron  u-shaped bar and make sure not to overlap the wires.

Second:Cut the wire (if needed) so that there is about a couple inches loose at the other end too.

Third: Now remove about an inch of the plastic coating from both ends of the wire and connect the one wire to one end of a battery and the other wire to the other end of the battery.

A 12.0 g bullet was fired horizontally into a 1 kg block of wood. The bullet initially had a speed of 250 m/s. The block of wood
LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

The rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m

Explanation:

Given;

mass of bullet, m₁ = 12 g = 0.012 kg

mass of block of wood, m₂ = 1 kg

initial speed of bullet, u₁ = 250 m/s.

initial speed of block of wood, u₂ = 0

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, calculate the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁+m₂)

where;

v is the final speed of the combined block/bullet system.

0.012 x 250 + 0 = v (0.012 + 1)

3 = v (1.012)

v = 3/1.012

v = 2.96 m/s

From the principle of conservation of energy, calculate the rise in height of the block/bullet combined from its original position.

¹/₂mv² = mgh

¹/₂v² = gh

¹/₂ (2.96)² = (9.8)h

4.3808 = 9.8h

h = 4.3808/9.8

h = 0.45 m

Therefore, the rise in height of combined block/bullet from its original position is 0.45m

Water drips from a shower head (the sprayer at the top of the shower) and falls onto the floor 2.3 m below. The droplets are fal
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

0.767m

Explanation:

We are given that the time interval between each droplet is equal.

We are also given that the fourth drop is just dripping from the shower when the first hits the floor.

If they fall at the same time interval and we know that the distance between the shower head and floor are the same, they must therefore fall at the same velocity.

The distance between each drop has to be the same given that they fall at equal time intervals.

Let this distance be x.

We can then partition the entire height of the system into three parts (as shown in the diagram).

Hence, we can say that:

x + x + x = 2.3m

3x = 2.3m

=> x = 2.3/3 = 0.767m

Therefore, at the time the first drop hits the floor, the third drop is only 0.767 m below the shower head.
