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

Stels [109]

Option e is true. The total energy is the sum of all the energies present in the system. The potential energy in a system is due to its position in the system.

<h3>What is the law of conservation of energy?</h3>

According to the Law of conservation of energy. Although energy cannot be generated or destroyed, it may be transferred from one form to another.

The following statements are true;

a)All of its energy must be potential energy before it falls.

b)At the conclusion of its fall, all of its energy must be transformed to kinetic energy.

c)During its fall, the sum of its kinetic and potential energy must match the initial quantity of potential energy.

d)Total energy = Kinetic Energy + Potential Energy.

Hence, option e is correct.

An object is dropped from a height of 25 meters. At what velocity will it hit the ground?
Goryan [66]
You can use Vf^2-Vi^2 = 2ax

Vf^2 - 0 = 2(9.81)(25)

Or you can use energy

mgh = 1/2mv^2

2gh =v^2

Answer:

a) frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b) Period = 5.8 sec

c) speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration = 7.62 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that;

radius = 6.5m

time period = 5.8 sec every circle

a)  the frequency

frequency is the number of rotation in unit time

frequency = 1 / time period = 1/5.8

frequency = 0.1724 Hz

b)  the period

period is time taken in one rotation

period = total time / rotation = 5.8 / 1

Period = 5.8 sec

c)  the speed

speed = distance/time = circumference/time period = 2πr / t = (2π×6.5) / 5.8

speed = 7.04 m/s

d) acceleration

To find the acceleration we take the linear velocity squared divided by the radius of the circle.

so

acceleration = v² / r = (7.04)² / 6.5 = 49.5616 / 6.5

acceleration = 7.62 m/s²
