- A 9,300 kg. railroad car traveling at a velocity of 15m/s strikes a second boxcar

Physics
1 answer:
VARVARA [1.3K]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

13950kg

Explanation:

If we make the system both railroad cars, we know that the momentum of the whole system doesn't change because the forces are internal.

Let a be the mass of the second car.

The original momentum is 9300*15 kg*m/s+ a*0 kg*m/s = 139500 kg*m/s

After sticking together, the momentum is (9300+a)kg*6m/s, which should be equal to 139500 kg*m/s

Therefore (9300+a)*6 = 139500

9300+a = 23250

a = 13950 kg

An initially stationary object experiences an acceleration of 6 m/s2 for a time of 15 s. How far will it travel during that time
andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The object will travel 675 m during that time.

Explanation:

A body moves with constant acceleration motion or uniformly accelerated rectilinear motion (u.a.r.m) when the path is a straight line, but the velocity is not necessarily constant because there is an acceleration.

In other words, a body performs a u.a.r.m when its path is a straight line and its acceleration is constant. This implies that the speed increases or decreases uniformly.

In this case, the position is calculated using the expression:

x = xo + vo*t + ½*a*t²

where:

  • x0 is the initial position.
  • v0 is the initial velocity.
  • a is the acceleration.
  • t is the time interval in which the motion is studied.

In this case:

  • x0= 0
  • v0= 0  because the object is initially stationary
  • a= 6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }
  • t= 15 s

Replacing:

x= 0 + 0*15 s + ½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*(15s)²

Solving:

x=½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*(15s)²

x=½*6 \frac{m}{s^{2} }*225 s²

x= 675 m

<u><em> The object will travel 675 m during that time.</em></u>

A "moving sidewalk" in an airport terminal moves at 1.0 m/s and is 35.0 m long. If a woman steps on at one end and walks at 1.5
pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

a.14 s

b.70 s

Explanation:

a.Let the sidewalk moving in positive x- direction.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=1.5m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground

v_w=v_s+v=1+1.5=2.5m/s

Distance=35 m

Time=\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by women to reach the opposite end if she walks in the same direction the sidewalk is moving=\frac{35}{v_w}=\frac{35}{2.5}=14s

b.If she gets on at the end opposite the end in part (a)

Then, we take displacement negative.

Speed  of sidewalk relative to ground=v_s=1m/s

Speed of women relative to sidewalk=v=-1.5 m/s

The speed of women relative to the ground=v_w=v_s+v=1-1.5=-0.5m/s

Time=\frac{-35}{-0.5}=70 s

Hence, the women takes 70 s to reach the opposite end if she walks in the opposite direction the sidewalk is moving.

What type of wave has particles push together and pull apart?
wariber [46]

when wave propagate through the medium the medium particles have two type of possible motions

1) Transverse Waves : here medium particles will move perpendicular to wave propagation and they pull and push perpendicular to the length

2) Longitudinal wave : here medium particles will move to and fro along the length of the medium and the medium particles will push and pull together along the length of the string.

So here in two types of wave motion it will depends on the medium type as well as it will depend on the source how is wave produced.

So the given type of wave in which particles push together and pull apart the wave must be longitudinal wave.
