Answer:
Explanation:
consider the mass of each train car be m
m₁ = m₂ = m₃ = m
speed of the three identical train
u₁ = u₂ = u₃ = 1.8 m/s
m₄ = m u₄ = 4.5 m/s
m₅ = m u₅ = 0 (initial velocity )
final velocity
v₁ = v₂ = v₃ = v₄ = v₅ = v
using conservation of momentum
m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ + m₃u₃ + m₄u₄ + m₅u₅ = m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ + m₃v₃ + m₄v₄ + m₅v₅
m (1.8 + 1.8 + 1.8 +4.5) = 5 m v
Answer: F = 102141N
Explanation: <em><u>Newton's 2nd Law</u></em> states that a force can change the motion of a body. The relation is given by
F = m.a
whose units are:
[F] = N
[m] = kg
[a] = m/s²
Jenny's car, at the moment of the break, had acceleration:
a = 78.57 m/s²
Then, Force is
F = 1300*78.57
F = 102141 N
<u>Jenny's car experienced a force of </u><u>magnitude 102141N.</u>
