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

The two equal strong kids are having a tug a war. What do you expect to happen to the ball in this situation
borishaifa [10]

Answer:as per as Newtons second law, The forces exerted on the rope create tension.

As such,The tension is equal to the applied force.The tension is trasmitted to the opposite side and of the rope delivering the applied force.

Hope this helps.. :)

What measurements or observations tells you that a car is accelerating
lutik1710 [3]

You need to observe the car at two different times.

-- The first time: 
You write down the car's speed, and the direction it's pointing.

-- The second time:
You write down the car's speed and the direction it's pointing, again.

You take the data back to your lab to analyze it.

-- You compare the first and second speed. If they're different,
then the car had acceleration during the time between the two
observations.

-- You compare the first and second direction.  If those are different,
even if the speeds are the same, then the car had acceleration during
the time between the two observations.

(Remember, "acceleration" doesn't mean "speeding up". 
It means any change in speed or direction of motion.)

A projectile is fired into the air from the top of a 200-m cliff above a valley as shown below. Its initial velocity is 60 m/s a
anastassius [24]

a) y(max)  = 337.76 m

b) t₁ = 5.30 s  the time for y maximum

c)t₂ =  13.60 s  time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

d) vₓ = 30 m/s        vy = - 81.32 m/s

e)x = 408 m

Equations for projectile motion:

v₀ₓ = v₀ * cosα          v₀ₓ = 60*(1/2)     v₀ₓ = 30 m/s   ( constant )

v₀y = v₀ * sinα           v₀y = 60*(√3/2)     v₀y = 30*√3  m/s

a) Maximum height:

The following equation describes the motion in y coordinates

y  =  y₀ + v₀y*t - (1/2)*g*t²      (1)

To find h(max), we need to calculate t₁ ( time for h maximum)

we take derivative on both sides of the equation

dy/dt  = v₀y  - g*t

dy/dt  = 0           v₀y  - g*t₁  = 0    t₁ = v₀y/g

v₀y = 60*sin60°  = 60*√3/2  = 30*√3

g = 9.8 m/s²

t₁ = 5.30 s  the time for y maximum

And y maximum is obtained from the substitution of t₁  in equation (1)

y (max) = 200 + 30*√3 * (5.30)  - (1/2)*9.8*(5.3)²

y (max) = 200 + 275.40 - 137.64

y(max)  = 337.76 m

Total time of flying (t₂)  is when coordinate y = 0

y = 0 = y₀  + v₀y*t₂ - (1/2)* g*t₂²

0 = 200 + 30*√3*t₂  - 4.9*t₂²            4.9 t₂² - 51.96*t₂ - 200 = 0

The above equation is a second-degree equation, solving for  t₂

t =  [51.96 ±√ (51.96)² + 4*4.9*200]/9.8

t =  [51.96 ±√2700 + 3920]/9.8

t =  [51.96 ± 81.36]/9.8

t = 51.96 - 81.36)/9.8         we dismiss this solution ( negative time)

t₂ =  13.60 s  time for y = 0 time when the fly finish

The components of the velocity just before striking the ground are:

vₓ = v₀ *cos60°       vₓ = 30 m/s  as we said before v₀ₓ is constant

vy = v₀y - g *t        vy = 30*√3  - 9.8 * (13.60)

vy = 51.96 - 133.28         vy = - 81.32 m/s

The sign minus means that vy  change direction

Finally the horizontal distance is:

x = vₓ * t

x = 30 * 13.60  m

x = 408 m

Which scientist described an atom made of a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it?.
swat32

The scientist that described an atom made a solid positively charged substance with electrons dispersed throughout it was: Ernest Rutherford

In 1911 Ernest Rutherford proposed his atomic model in which he considered the atom as a positively, densely charged center called a nucleus in which the electrons circulate around the core with a negative charge.

<h3>What is an atom?</h3>

The atom is the smallest part of the composition of matter, it is indivisible and is composed of a nucleus that has protons and neutrons, and around the nucleus there are the electrons.
