In order to compute the final velocity of the trains, we may apply the principle of conservation of momentum which is:
initial momentum = final momentum
m₁v₁ = m₂v₂

The final mass of the trains will be:
10,000 + 10,000 = 20,000 kg
Substituting the values into the equation:

10,000 * 3 = 20,000 * v
v = 1.5 m/s

The final velocity of the trains will be 1.5 m/s

A box of mass m = 1.80 kg is dropped from rest onto a massless, vertical spring with spring constant k = 2.00 ✕ 102 N/m that is
Rudik [331]

Answer:

spring compressed is 0.724 m

Explanation:

given data

mass = 1.80 kg

spring constant k = 2 × 10²  N/m

initial height = 2.25 m

solution

we know from conservation of energy is

mg(h+x)  = 0.5 × k × x²       ...................1

here x is compression in spring

so put here value in equation 1 we get

1.8 × 9.8 × (2.25+x)  = 0.5 × 2× 10² × x²

solve it we get

x = 0.724344

so spring compressed is 0.724 m

Read the following paragraph from the introduction
Alex17521 [72]

The statement 'energy cannot be created or destroyed' BEST supports the idea that energy remains constant during an energy transformation. It is the first law of thermodynamics.

<h3>Law of Conservation of Energy</h3>

The law of conservation of energy, also known as the first law of thermodynamics, indicates that energy can neither be created nor destroyed.

According to this law, the energy can be interchanged from one type of energy (e.g., kinetic energy) form to another (e.g., potential energy).

The first law of thermodynamics is fundamental for understanding major science disciplines, and it is a rosetta stone in physics.

a light wave is traveling straight up out of the ocean then moves out into the air how do you expect the movement of the light w
Mariulka [41]
If the light is traveling straight up, then it hits the interface (surface
or boundary) between water and air perpendicularly (90° to the surface).

This direction is the direction of the 'normal' to the surface.  So the
angle of incidence is zero, and that means the angle of refraction is
also zero.  The light just keeps going in the same direction when it
emerges into the air, and is not bent.

However, its speed increases in air, and that means its wavelength
also becomes longer than it was in the water.
