Since the question above is looking for the SPEEd of the WAVE, the formula that should be used is SPEED = DISTANCE / TIME. You just need to substitute the distance (36 meters) and the time (15 seconds) to the formula. You should be able to get SPEED = 2.4 m/s.

A railroad car of mass 2.00 3 104 kg moving at 3.00 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same ma

FrozenT [24]

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

Bob walks to Jack's house. He walks 900 meters East then realizes that he walked too far. He turns around and walks 300 meters W

Lilit [14]

Bob's average speed was 80 m/s.

His average velocity was 40 m/s East.

The magnitude of his velocity was almost 4 times as fast as Usain Bolt's world record in the 100 meters, or about 89 mph. His speed was double that.

Meera doesn't have a night lamp in her room. She covered the bulb of the room with a towel to get a dim light. Has she taken the

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

* If it is an incandescent lamp, the increase in temperature of the towel could set it on fire,

* If the towel is wet, there could be a short circuit

Explanation:

Covering the lamp with a towel has several problems:

* If it is an incandescent lamp, the increase in temperature of the towel could set it on fire, which could be a danger

* If the lamp is not incandescent, the temperature rise of the towel is not very high,

* If the towel is wet, there could be a short circuit due to the humidity of the lamp with the wet towel

* If the towel is wet when touched, there could be a shock towards the person due to the electrical conduction

Consequently, covering the bulb with a towel is a serious mistake.

Difference between mass and weight worksheet

Margaret [11]

Hi

There is a basic difference<span>, because </span>mass<span> is the actual amount of material contained in a body and is measured in kg, gm, etc. Whereas </span>weight<span> is the force exerted by the gravity on that object mg. Note that </span>mass<span> is independent of everything but </span>weight<span> is different on the earth, moon, etc.</span>
