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

To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newt
Firdavs [7]

Answer: A.E.

Explanation: To understand the distinction between mass and weight and to be able to calculate the weight of an object from its mass and Newton's law of gravitation. The concepts of mass and weight are often confused. In fact, in everyday conversations, the word "weight" often replaces "mass," as in "My weight is seventy-five kilograms"

In one cycle a heat engine absorbs 450 J from a high-temperature reservoir and expels 290 J to a low-temperature reservoir. If t
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

So the ratio will be \frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explanation:

We have given heat engine absorbs 450 joule from high temperature reservoir

So Q=450j

As the heat engine expels 290 j

So work done W = 290 J

We know that efficiency \eta =\frac{W}{Q}=\frac{290}{450}=0.6444

It is given that efficiency of the engine only 55 % of Carnot engine

So efficiency of Carnot engine =\frac{0.6444}{0.55}=1.171

Efficiency of Carnot engine is \eta =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

1.171 =1-\frac{T_L}{T_H}

\frac{T_L}{T_H}=-0.171

Explain why Earth stays in constant rotation.​
lesantik [10]

Answer: As Earth rotates, the Moon's gravity causes the oceans to seem to rise and fall. ... There is a little bit of friction between the tides and the turning Earth, causing the rotation to slow down just a little. As Earth slows, it lets the Moon creep away.
