1A.)A railroad car of mass 21700 kg moving with a speed of 3.36 m/s collides
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

(a) 2.03 m/s

(b) 2.15 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

From the law of conservation of momentum, the sum of initial momentum equals the sum of final momentum

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v_c where v_c is the common velocity, v_1 and v_2 are velocities of the first railroad car  and the second railroad car respectively, m_1 and m_2 are masses of the first railroad car  and the second railroad car respectively

Substituting the given figures then

21700\times 3.36+41700\times 1.34=(21700+41700)v_c\\63400v_c=128790\\v_c=\frac {128790}{63400}=2.031388013\approx 2.03 m/s

(b)

Momentum, p=mv where m is the mass and v is the velocity

m_1v_1+m_2v_2=m_1v_3+m_2v_4 where v_1 and v_2 are initial velocities of the ball moving towards west and the other ball moving in opposite direction respectively, m_1 and m_2 are masses of the first railroad car  and the second railroad car respectively

Taking west as positive then the opposite direction will be negative hence

0.455\times 7.36+(1.01\times -12.4)= 0.455\times -15.4 + (1.01\times v_4}

Note that when the 0.455 rebounds, it moves towards East and since we took West as positive that is why we give 15.4 as a negative value.

-2.1682=1.01v_4\\v_4=\frac {-2.1682}{1.01}=-2.146732673\approx 2.15 m/s towards East

An apple is thrown across the cafeteria with a force of 10 N and at an acceleration of 6 m/s2. What is the mass of the apple? ..
Komok [63]

Answer:

Explanation:

F = m * a

The apple's acceleration is not influenced by the acceleration due to gravity for this question.  In real life it most certainly is influenced by gravity.

F = m * a

F = 10 Newtons.

a = 6 m/s^2

m = 10/6 = 1.66 kg. Mighty  large apple
