Answer:

Explanation:

The transcontinental railroad was worked on from both sides of America. At the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean. The purpose was to make travel easier from one side of the country to the other, and to get American items to the east and west of America for export to other countries, as well as a few other reasons such as building up the interior of America.

What’s the difference between gravitational force & gravitational field strength?

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Gravitational field strength is the force experienced by a unit mass. Gravitational force is the amount of force acting on a body. It is the product of field strength times the mass under consideration. Gravitational pull is just a more colloquial name for gravitational force.

Three small balls of the same size but different masses are hung side-by-side in parallel on the strings of same length. They to

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

m1/6 ( c )

Explanation:

since all the balls starts having the same momentum after the two collisions we will apply the principal of conservation of energy

After first collision

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 --- ( 1 )

After second collision

m2v2 = m2v2 + m3v3 ---- ( 2 )

combining equations 1 and 2

m1v = m1v1 + m2v2 + m3v3 ----- ( 3 )

All balls moving at the same momentum ( p ) = m1v1 = m2v2 = m3v3

note ; 3p = m1v ∴ m3 = $\frac{m1v}{3v3}$ ----- ( 4 )

applying conservation of energy

3v = v1 + v2 + v3 ------- ( 5 )

also 3m1v1 = m1v = v1 = v/3 =

v2 + v3 = 8/3 v ----- ( 6 )

next eliminate V3 for equation 6 by applying conservation of energy and momentum

m1 = 2m2 ------ ( 7 )

now using p1 = p2 = m1v1 = 1/2 m1v1 hence v2 = 2v1 where v1 = 1/3 v

hence ; v2 = 2/3 v ------- ( 8 )

solving with equation 6 and 8

v3 = 2v ------ ( 9 ) ∴ v/v3 = 1/2 ---- ( 10 )

solving with equation 9 and 10

m3 = m1/3 * 1/2 = m1/6
