Answer:
They collide, couple together, and roll away in the direction that <u>the 2m/s car was rolling in.</u>
Explanation:
We should start off with stating that the conservation of momentum is used here.
Momentum = mass * speed
Since, mass of both freight cars is the same, the speed determines which has more momentum.
Thus, the momentum of the 2 m/s freight car is twice that of the 1 m/s freight car.
The final speed is calculated as below:
mass * (velocity of first freight car) + mass * (velocity of second freight car) = (mass of both freight cars) * final velocity
(m * V1) + (m * V2) = (2m * V)
Let's substitute the velocities 1m/s for the first car, and - 2m/s for the second. (since the second is opposite in direction)
We get:
solving this we get:
V = - 0.5 m/s
Thus we can see that both cars will roll away in the direction that the 2 m/s car was going in. (because of the negative sign in the answer)
Answer:
Explained
Explanation:
You should throw your boot in the direction away from the closest shore so that the reaction force is towards the closest shore.
The study of EM is essential to understanding the properties of light, its propagation through tissue, scattering and absorption effects, and changes in the state of polarization. ... Since light travels much faster than sound, detection of the reflected EM radiation is performed with interferometry.
In this question, you're determining the time (t) taken for an object to fall from a distance (d).
The equation to represent this is:
Time equals the square root of 2 times the distance divided by the gravitational force of earth.
In equation from it looks like this (there isn't an icon to represent square root so just pretend like there's a square root there):
t = 2d/g (square-rooted)
d = 8,848m and g = 9.8m/s
Now plug in the information we have:
t = 2 x 8,848m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
The first step is to multiply 2 times 8,848m:
t = 17,696m/9.8m/s (square-rooted)
Now divide 9.8m/s by 17,696m (note that the two m's (meters) cancels out leaving you with only s (seconds):
t = 1805.72s (square-rooted)
Now for the last step, find the square root of the remaining number:
t = 42.5s
So the time it takes the ball to drop from the height (distance) of 8,848 meters, and falling with the gravitational pull of 9.8 meters per second is 42.5 seconds.
I hope this helps :)
