Answer:

87.5mph

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Acceleration  = 7.5mph/s

Starting speed  = 50mph

Time  = 5s

Unknown:

Final speed  = ?

Solution:

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity with time:

   Acceleration  = \frac{Final speed  - Starting speed }{time }

Insert the parameters and solve;

 7.5  = \frac{Final speed  - 50 }{5 }

  Final speed - 50  = 7.5 x 5

  Final speed  = 7.5 x 5 + 50  = 87.5mph

A 12000 kg railroad car is traveling at a 2 m/s when it strikes another 10000 kg railroad is at rest. If the car lock together w

The final speed is 1.09m\frac{m}{s}

Why?

To calculate the final speed, we need to know that we are working with an inelastic collision, it means that both bodies stick together after the colission. We can calculate the final speed of the bodies (if exists) using the following equation:

m_{1}v{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}

We are given the following information:

m_{1}=12000kg\\v_{1}=2\frac{m}{s}\\m_{2}=10000kg\\v_{2}=0\frac{m}{s}(at rest)

So, substituting and calculating, we have:

m_{1}v{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v_{f}\\\\12000kg*2\frac{m}{s}+10000kg*0\frac{m}{s}=(12000kg+10000kg)*v_{f}\\\\v_{f}=\frac{24000\frac{kg.m}{s} }{22000kg}=1.09m\frac{m}{s}

Hence, the final speed is 1.09 m/s.

Have a nice day!
