Given:

Mass of the rail road car, m = 2 kg

velocity of the three cars coupled system, v' = 1.20 m/s

velocity of first car, v_{a} = 3 m/s

Solution:

a) Momentum of a body of mass 'm' and velocity 'v' is given by:

p = mv

Now for the coupled system according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum of a system before and after collision remain conserved:

mv_{a} + 2mv_{b} = (m + 2m)v'                        (1)

where,

v_{a} = velocity of the first car

v_{b} = velocity of the 2 coupled cars after collision

Now, from eqn (1)

v' = \frac{v_{a} + 2v_{b}}{3}

v' = \frac{3.00 + 2\times 1.20}}{3}

v' = 1.80 m/s

Therefore, the velocity of the combined car system after collision is 1.80 m/s

A grandfather clock is "losing" time because its pendulum moves too slowly. Assume that the pendulum is a massive bob at the end
IgorC [24]

Answer:

d) shortening the string

Explanation:

Time period of a pendulum clock is dependent on two factors namely:length and acceleration due to gravity.

When a clock loses time, the time period of the pendulum clock increases.

This however can be corrected by decreasing the length of the pendulum.The time period of the pendulum clock is not dependent on the mass of the bob. The time period of the pendulum clock can be corrected only by changing the length of the pendulum string.

Determine the CM of a rod assuming its linear mass density λ (its mass per unit length) varies linearly from λ = λ0 at the left
Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3

Explanation:

Here mass density of rod is varying so we have to use the concept of integration to find mass and location of center of mass.

At any  distance x from point A mass density

\lambda =\lambda_0+ \dfrac{2\lambda _o-\lambda _o}{L}x

\lambda =\lambda_0+ \dfrac{\lambda _o}{L}x

Lets take element mass at distance x

dm =λ dx

mass moment of inertia

dI=\lambda x^2dx

So total moment of inertia

I=\int_{0}^{L}\lambda x^2dx

By putting the values

I=\int_{0}^{L}\lambda_ ox+ \dfrac{\lambda _o}{L}x^3 dx

By integrating above we can find that

I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3

Now to find location of center mass

x_c = \dfrac{\int xdm}{dm}

x_c = \dfrac{\int_{0}^{L} \lambda_ 0(1+\dfrac{x}{L})xdx}{\int_{0}^{L} \lambda_0(1+\dfrac{x}{L})}

Now by integrating the above

x_c=\dfrac{\dfrac{L^2}{2}+\dfrac{L^3}{3L}}{L+\dfrac{L^2}{2L}}

x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

So mass moment of inertia I=\dfrac {7}{12}\lambda_ 0 L^3 and location of center of mass  x_c= \dfrac{5}{9}L

21. Compare and contrast beta particles to the electrons that surround neutral atoms.
stiv31 [10]
Beta particles come from the nucleus. Electrons are found around the nucleus.
Beta particles normally travel very fast out of a nucleus in a straight line. Electrons normally orbit the nucleus of an atom.

They both have the same mass and the same charge.

List 5 possible effects of not adhering to standards of measurement
Bond [772]

Explanation:

Without the metric system, we'd have a different International System of Units, the metric system is important because 1mm is 0.1cm, 1 cm is 0.01m, with the imperial system the conversion is tedious. The most important feature of the metric system is its base in scientific fact and repeatable standards of measurement
