Answer:
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
Explanation:
As we know by Newton's 2nd law
here we have also know that when car hits the bug then force applied by wind shield on the bug is same as the force applied by the bug on the car's wind shield as per Newton's III law
so we know that
so we have
so correct answer will be
C. The bug's change in momentum is equal to the car's change in momentum.
The time needed for the 7th car to pass is 13.2 s
Explanation:
The motion of the train is a uniformly accelerated motion, therefore we can use suvat equations.
We start by analzying the motion of the first car, by using the equation:
where
s is the distance covered by the first car in a time t, which corresponds to the length of one car
u = 0 is the initial velocity
a is the acceleration
t = 5.0 s is the time
The equation can be rewritten as
where L is the length of one car.
The same equation can be written considering the first 7 cars:
where
7L is the distance covered by the 7 cars
t' is the time needed
We still have
u = 0
And the acceleration is constant so it is
Substituting into the equation, we can find t':
In attachment the graph of the distance covered versus the time taken: since the motion is uniformly accelerated, the relationship between the two variables is quadratical.
