Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a freight car, m_1=30,000-kg

Speed of a freight car, u_1=0.85\ m/s

Mass of a scrap metal, m_2=110,000\ kg

(a) Let us assume that the final velocity of the loaded freight car is V. The momentum of the system will remain conserved as follows :

30000\times 0.85=(30000+110000)V\\\\V=\dfrac{30000\times 0.85}{30000+110000}\\\\=0.182\ m/s

So, the final velocity of the loaded freight car is 0.182 m/s.

(b) Lost on kinetic energy = final kinetic energy - initial kinetic energy

\Delta K=\dfrac{1}{2}[(m_1+m_2)V^2-m_1u_1^2)]\\\\=\dfrac{1}{2}\times [(30,000+110,000 )0.182^2-30000(0.85)^2]\\\\=-8518.82\ J

Lost in kinetic energy is 8518.82. Negative sign shows loss.

7. A golfer hits a golf ball a through a horizontal displacement of 80m. The time of flight for the ball was 1.8
Darya [45]

Answer:

44.4 m/s

Explanation:

d = 80 m, t = 1.8 s, find v

d = v*t

v = d/t = 80/1.8 = 44.4 m/s
