Bess [88]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Option A. 180000 Kgm/s.

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

For Train Car A:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

For Train Car B:

Mass of train car B = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car B = 0 m/s

Momentum is simply defined as the product of mass and velocity. Mathematically, it can be expressed as:

Momentum = mass × velocity

With the above formula, the momentum of train car A before collision can be obtained as follow:

Mass of train car A = 45000 Kg

Velocity of train car A = 4 m/s

Momentum of train car A =?

Momentum = mass × velocity

Momentum = 45000 × 4

Momentum of train car A = 180000 Kgm/s

A light string is wrapped around the edge of the smaller disk, and a 1.50 kg block is suspended from the free end of the string.
LenaWriter [7]

Answer: 7.41 m/s

Explanation: By using the law of of energy, kinetic energy of the brick as it falls equals the potential energy before falling.

Kinetic energy = mv²/2, potential energy = mgh

mv²/2 = mgh

v²/2 = gh

v² = 2gh

v = √2gh

Where g = 9.8 m/s², h = 2.80m

v = √2×9.8×2.8 = 7.41 m/s

How do you think car makers can design cars to limit cell phone distractions?
Dafna11 [192]

I have two (2) brilliant ideas:

1). Inside the metal that the body of the car is made of, and also between the two sheets of glass that the windows are made of, install a thin layer of material that absorbs RF (radio-wave) energy . . . like the material in the glass window of your microwave oven.  Then, no radio waves from the cellular base station can get INTO the car, and no radio waves from your phone can get OUT of the car.  The phone can't make a connection to the cellular network, you can't make or receive calls, and you can't connect to Instagram or Brainly, so you might as well just turn it off and save your battery until next time you're outside your car.

2). Somewhere inside the car, like under the dash or in the glove box, install a teeny tiny radio receiver that can recognize the signals coming OUT of your phone.  Connect it to the car's electrical system so that when it hears signals from phones inside the car, it it shuts down the car's motor so you can't start or drive. The car only works when phones inside the car are either turned off or in Airplane Mode.

My ideas are so brilliant that I really should patent them, or copyright them, or whatever you do so that other people have to pay you to use your idea. But if you want to use them, that's OK.  Just go ahead. I won't mind.
