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.

Solution: 
f ( t )= 20 S ( t ) + 55/30 tS ( t )− 55/30 ( t − 30 ) S ( t − 30 ) 
• Taking the Laplace Transform: 
F ( s ) = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) – 55/30 ( 1/s^2) e^-30s = 20/s + 55/30 ( 1/s^2 ) ( 1 – e^-30s)

Which of these statements best describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field?
Sveta_85 [38]
The only statement that makes sense as to which one describes an effect of changes in Earth's magnetic field is the first one - <span>Southern lights are seen at high altitude places like Alaska.
Normally, Southern lights are seen around the South Pole, which means that it is quite odd for them to be seen in Alaska, which is near the North Pole.</span>
