This is a conservation of momentum problem! Here's how to do it:
Answer:
An object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it
Explanation:
When a object moves with a constant velocity (v), then it gets displaced in the direction of motion but the net external force experienced by the object is zero.
F external =ma
If object moves with constant velocity, acceleration is zero.
Since, a=0 ⟹F external =0
Using s=ut+ 1/2 at ^2
⟹ Displacement s=ut (∵a=0)
Hence, an object can have a displacement in the absence of any external force acting on it
Hope this helped you:)
The speed of light generally would be 300000km/s but since the train is moving in the same direction as the light it would apparently appear to be 100000km/s
Answer:
K = 960 J
Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a child = 20 kg
Mass of a sled = 10 kg
Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s
We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.
The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg
= 30 kg
The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.
