Answer: Tangential Velocity
The tangential velocity is defined as the angular velocity
by the radius
of circular motion. As shown below:
Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.
<u>Answer:</u>
The final velocity of the two railroad cars is 1.09 m/s
<u>Explanation:</u>
Since we are given that the two cars lock together it shows that the collision is inelastic in nature. The final velocity due to inelastic collision is given by
where
V= Final velocity
M1= mass of the first object in kgs = 12000
M2= mas of the second object in kgs = 10000
V1= initial velocity of the first object in m/s = 2m/s
V2= initial velocity of the second object in m/s = 0 (given at rest)
Substituting the given values in the formula we get
V = 2×12000 + 0x100012000 + 10000= 2400022000= 1.09 m/s
Which is the final velocity of the two railroad cars
