- 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

Which sentence provides evidence that heat travels from Earth’s mantle up to its crust?
olasank [31]

B. Earth’s outer surface is cooler than its interior layers.

Explanation:

  • The option given above is showing us that the temperature in the interior of the earth is higher than the temperature in the outer layer.
  • There is travel of heat from the inner core of the earth to the earth's crust. Due to the loss of heat when it reaches the outer layer, there arises a temperature difference.
  • The heat loss is due to the absorption of heat during its transfer. Hence, option B is the answer.

An 8 kilogram bowling ball is rolling in a straight line toward you. if its momentum is 16 kg* m/s, how fast is it traveling ?
morpeh [17]
From the information given, The mass of the bowling ball is 8 Kilograms and the momentum with which it is moving is 16 kg m/s. We use the formula p = m × v Where p is the momentum, m is the mass and v is the velocity. We need velocity so we rewrite the equation thus: P = mv, therefore p/m = v or v = p/m In our case p = 16 and m = 8 v = p/m v = 16/8 v = 2 Therefore the bowling ball is travelling at 2m/s
