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

Olaf is standing on a sheet of ice that covers the football stadium parking lot in Buffalo, New York; there is negligible fricti
Bas_tet [7]

Answer:

v = 0.059 m/s

Explanation:

To find the final speed of Olaf and the ball you use the conservation momentum law. The momentum of Olaf and the ball before catches the ball is the same of the momentum of Olaf and the ball after. Then, you have:

mv_{1i}+Mv_{2i}=(m+M)v  (1)

m: mass of the ball = 0.400kg

M: mass of Olaf = 75.0 kg

v1i: initial velocity of the ball = 11.3m/s

v2i: initial velocity of Olaf = 0m/s

v: final velocity of Olaf and the ball

You solve the equation (1) for v and replace the values of all variables:

v=\frac{mv_{1i}}{m+M}=\frac{(0.400kg)(11.3m/s)}{0.400kg+75.0kg}=0.059\frac{m}{s}

Hence, after Olaf catches the ball, the velocity of Olaf and the ball is 0.059m/s

For a series circuit what is the terminal voltage of a battery or power supply equal to in terms of the potential difference or
trapecia [35]

Answer: V=IR

Explanation: for a series circuit connected to a battery supply, the total emf across the circuit is given as

E = I(R + r) and by expanding, we have that E =IR + It

Where r is the internal resistance of the battery

I is the total current flowing in the circuit

R total load resistance in the circuit.

E is the total emf of the circuit.

The total emf is the sum of 2 separate voltages.

"IR" which is the terminal voltage and "Ir" which is the loss voltage.

The teenila voltage is the voltage flowing in the circuit based on the equivalent resistance of the circuit while the loss voltage is the wasted voltage based on the internal resistance of the battery source.

The speed of water flowing through the 4in diameter section of the piping system is 3ft/s. What is the volume flow rate of water
olga_2 [115]
1 ft =12 in 
4 in = 0.333 ft 
volume = (п/4)*(0.333)² = 0.087 ft²
vol. flow = spead *volume
              =3 ft/s * 0.087 ft² 

vol flow = 0.261 ft³/s

PHYSICS<br> I need help with number two!!!!
EleoNora [17]

Answer:

mgh₁ + ½mv₁² = mgh₂ + ½mv₂²

Explanation:

Initial total energy = final total energy

PE₁ + KE₁ = PE₂ + KE₂

mgh₁ + ½mv₁² = mgh₂ + ½mv₂²

Arocket launches at an angle of 33.6 degrees from the horizontal at a
babymother [125]

Answer:

Y component = 32.37

Explanation:

Given:

Angle of projection of the rocket is, \theta=33.6

Initial velocity of the rocket is, u=58.5

A vector at an angle \theta with the horizontal can be resolved into mutually perpendicular components; one along the horizontal direction and the other along the vertical direction.

If a vector 'A' makes angle \theta with the horizontal, then the horizontal and vertical components are given as:

A_x=A\cos \theta(\textrm{Horizontal or X component})\\A_y=A\sin \theta(\textrm{Vertical or Y component})

Here, as the velocity is a vector quantity and makes an angle of 33.6 with the horizontal, its Y component is given as:

u_y=u\sin \theta

Plug in the given values and solve for u_y. This gives,

u_y=(58.5)(\sin 33.6)\\u_y=58.5\times 0.55339\\u_y=32.373\approx32.37(\textrm{Rounded to two decimal places})

Therefore, the Y component of initial velocity is 32.37.
