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

Why does the moon's gravity have a greater effect on the earth's ocean than the sun.
White raven [17]

Answer:

Tides on our planet are caused by the gravitational pull of the Moon and Sun. Earth's oceans "bulge out" because the Moon's gravity pulls a little harder on one side of our planet (the side closer to the Moon) than it does on the other. The Sun's gravity raises tides, too, but lunar tides are twice as big.

A CAR ACCElerates FROM REST To
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

<u>666.6 kW</u>

Explanation:

<u>Power Formula</u>

  • Power = Force × Velocity

<u>Calculating Force</u>

  • F = ma
  • F = m(v - u / t) [From the equation v = u + at]
  • F = 2,000 (50/7.5)
  • F = 2,000 (20/3)
  • F = 40,000/3
  • F = 13333.3 N

<u>Solving for Power</u>

  • P = 13333.3 × 50
  • P = 666666.6 W
  • P = <u>666.6 kW</u>
