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

What characteristics determine how easily two substances change temperature
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer;

Amount of time the two substances are in contact

Area in contact between the two substances

Specific heat of the material that makes up the substances

Explanation;

The change in temperature of a substance is caused by heat energy. The change in temperature will depend on factors such as mass of the substance, the type of material it is made from, the time taken , specific heat of the material that makes the substance, and also the area of contact.

The amount of time the two substances are in contact affect the change in temperature such that if the two bodies are in contact for a longer time then a bigger change in temperature will be observed.

Specific heat capacity also determines the change in temperature that will be observed, such that a substance with a bigger specific heat capacity will record a small change in temperature.
