A railroad freight car of mass 3.34 × 104 kg collides with a stationary caboose car. They couple together, and 19.0% of the init

ial kinetic energy is transferred to thermal energy, sound, vibrations, and so on. Find the mass of the caboose.

Answer:

4.123 * 10∧4 kg

Explanation:

mass of car M' = 3.34 * 10∧4 kg

energy loss E = 19/100  K

from law of conservation of momentum ,

                 M' V' = ( M' + M'' ) v

                        V = M' V' / ( M' + M'' )

       Initial kinetic energy is K'  = (M' V')² / 2

      final kinetic energy  K" = 81 K' /100

                                             =  (M' V')² 81 / (200)     =   ( M' + M'' ) v²/ 2

            therefore , M' / ( M' + M" ) = 0.81

 mass of caboose is ,  M" = 1.234 M' - M'

                                     M" = .234 M'

                                          = 0,234 ( 3.34 * 10∧4 kg)

                                          = 4.123 * 10∧4 kg

A gas expands at a constant pressure of 3 atm from a volume of 0.02 cubic meters to 0.10 cubic meters. In the process it experie
Nonamiya [84]

a) 2.4\cdot 10^4 J

For a gas transformation occuring at a constant pressure, the work done by the gas is given by

W=p(V_f -V_i)

where

p is the gas pressure

V_f is the final volume of the gas

V_i is the initial volume

For the gas in the problem,

p=3 atm = 3\cdot 1.013\cdot 10^5 Pa = 3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa is the pressure

V_i = 0.02 m^2 is the initial volume

V_f = 0.10 m^3 is the final volume

Substituting,

W=(3.039\cdot 10^5 Pa)(0.10 m^3-0.02m^2)=24312 J = 2.4\cdot 10^4 J

b) 3.24\cdot 10^5 J

The heat absorbed by the gas can be found by using the 1st law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U = Q-W

where

\Delta U is the change in internal energy of the gas

Q is the heat absorbed

W is the work done

Here we have

\Delta U = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J

W=2.4\cdot 10^4 J

So we can solve the equation to find Q:

Q=\Delta U + W = 3.0\cdot 10^5 J +2.4\cdot 10^4 J = 3.24\cdot 10^5 J

And this process is an isobaric process (=at constant pressure).

What is the maximum frequency of visible light in hertz?
Nataliya [291]
All frequencies of light in hertz are in between
Red = 4 * 10 ^{14} Hz and
Violet = 8 * 10 ^{14} Hz

Light with a lower frequency than 4 * 10^14 Hz, are called infrared and can't be seen by human eye. Light with a higher frequency than 8 * 10^14 Hz, are called ultraviolet and can't bee seen by human eye. 

Therefore, the maximum frequency of visible light in Hz, is  8 * 10^14 Hz

Would this be 2N because 6 and 4 cancel out? Or no because 4 plus two is six and that cancels everything out to 0
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer: It would be 0

Explanation: Because like you said it would cancel each other out because if you are going 6N to the right and then you go 6N to the left you are actually not moving at all

One of the statements below is correct In an ideal system where all forms of friction are ignored?
noname [10]

Answer:

a.

Explanation:

In a perfect system then energy can be changed from Kinetic to Gravitational Potential and vice versa without any losses. A common form of loss would be thermal energy, so b. is not the answer. c. is invalid as we want these 2 forms of energy to be transferred between, and d. is invalid as these statements c and a contradict each other.
