A 11,000-kg train car moving due east at 21.0 m/s collides with and couples to a 23,000-kg train car that is initially at rest.

What is the common velocty of the two-car train after the collisions?

Answer:

v = 6.79 m/s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of a train car, m₁ = 11000 kg

Speed of train car, u₁ = 21 m/s

Mass of other train car, m₂ = 23000 kg

Initially, the other train car is at rest, u₂ = 0

It is a case based on inelastic collision as both car couples each other after the collision. The law of conservation of momentum satisied here. So,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V is the common velocity after the collisions

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1}{(m_1+m_2)}\\\\V=\dfrac{11000\times 21}{(11000+23000)}\\\\V=6.79\ m/s

So, the two car train will move with a common velocity of 6.79 m/s.

According to the law of refraction, light passing from air into a piece of glass at an angle of 30 degrees will cause the light
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

bend toward the normal line

Explanation:

When light passes from a less dense to a more dense substance, (for example passing from air into water), the light is refracted (or bent) towards the normal.   In your question the light is moving from rarer to denser medium
