Answer:

933. 3kg

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m=2000 kg

Initial speed,u=4.4 m/s

We have to find the maximum mass of grain if the speed of loaded freight car must not go below 3.0 m/s.

Final speed,v=3 m/s

By conservation of momentum

Initial momentum=Final momentum

mu=m'v

Substitute the values

2000\times 4.4=m'(3)

m'=\frac{2000\times 4.4}{3}

m'=2.93\times 10^3 kg

Mass of freight loaded car=2933.3 kg

Mass of grains=2933.3-2000=933.3 kg

Hence, the maximum  mass of grains that it can accept=933.3 kg

Prove the three laws of motion​
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

The first law, also called the law of inertia, was pioneered by Galileo. This was quite a conceptual leap because it was not possible in Galileo's time to observe a moving object without at least some frictional forces dragging against the motion. In fact, for over a thousand years before Galileo, educated individuals believed Aristotle's formulation that, wherever there is motion, there is an external force producing that motion.

The second law, $ f(t)=m\,a(t)$ , actually implies the first law, since when $ f(t)=0$ (no applied force), the acceleration $ a(t)$ is zero, implying a constant velocity $ v(t)$ . (The velocity is simply the integral with respect to time of $ a(t)={\dot v}(t)$ .)

Newton's third law implies conservation of momentum [138]. It can also be seen as following from the second law: When one object ``pushes'' a second object at some (massless) point of contact using an applied force, there must be an equal and opposite force from the second object that cancels the applied force. Otherwise, there would be a nonzero net force on a massless point which, by the second law, would accelerate the point of contact by an infinite amount.
