Answer:

D

Explanation:

The crust of the Earth is broken into many pieces called plates. The plates "float" on the soft, plastic mantle which is located below the crust, aka asthenosphere

Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with
Vinvika [58]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>

Say you want to make a sling by swinging a mass M of 1.9 kg in a horizontal circle of radius 0.042 m, using a string of length 0
padilas [110]

Answer: T= 715 N

Explanation:

The only external force (neglecting gravity) acting on the swinging mass, is the centripetal force, which. in this case, is represented by the tension in the string, so we can say:

T = mv² / r

At the moment that the mass be released, it wil continue moving in a straight line at the same tangential speed that it had just an instant before, which is the same speed included in the centripetal force expression.

So the kinetic energy will be the following:

K = 1/2 m v² = 15. 0 J

Solving for v², and replacing in the expression for T:

T = 1.9 Kg (3.97)² m²/s² / 0.042 m = 715 N

A railroad freight car, mass 15,000 kg, is allowed to coast along a level track at a speed of 2.0 m/s. It collides and couples w
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of car 1, m₁ = 15,000 kg

Mass of car 2, m₂ = 50,000 kg

Speed of car 1, u₁ = 2 m/s

Initial speed of car 2, u₂ = 0

Let V is the speed of the two cars after coupling. It is the case of inelastic collision. Applying the conservation of momentum as :

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=(m_1+m_2)V

V=\dfrac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2}{(m_1+m_2)}

V=\dfrac{15000\ kg\times 2\ m/s+0}{(15000\ kg+50000\ kg)}  

V = 0.46 m/s

So, the speed of the two cars after coupling is 0.46 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
