Answer:
V = 0.714m/s
Explanation:
Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.
From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.
Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.
See the attachment below for the solution calculation.
In the single-slit experiment, the displacement of the minima of the diffraction pattern on the screen is given by
(1)
where
n is the order of the minimum
y is the displacement of the nth-minimum from the center of the diffraction pattern
is the light's wavelength
D is the distance of the screen from the slit
a is the width of the slit
In our problem,
while the distance between the first and the fifth minima is
(2)
If we use the formula to rewrite
, eq.(2) becomes
Which we can solve to find a, the width of the slit:
