Train cars are coupled together by being bumped into one another. Suppose two loaded train cars are moving toward one another, t

he first having a mass of 138000 kg and a velocity of 0.288 m/s, and the second having a mass of 123000 kg and a velocity of -0.131 m/s. (The minus indicates direction of motion.) What is their final velocity

Answer:

their final velocity is 0.091 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first train, m₁ = 138,000 kg

mass of the second train, m₂ = 123,000 kg

initial velocity of the first train, u₁ = 0.288 m/s

initial velocity of the seocnd train, u₂ = -0.131 m/s (opposite direction to the first)

Let their common final velocity after been coupled = v

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁  +  m₂u₂ = v(m₁  +  m₂)

(138,000 x 0.288)    +    (-0.131 x 123,000)   =   v(138,000 + 123,000)

39,744   -   16,113   =  v(261,000)

23,631 = v(261,000)

v = 23,631 / 261,000

v = 0.091 m/s

Therefore, their final velocity is 0.091 m/s

The airplane is flying with a constant velocity. Which force acting on the airplane below represents the friction from air resis
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer to the question is  C i.e C represents the friction from air resistance.

EXPLANATION:

Before coming into any conclusion, first we have to understand friction.

The friction is the opposing force which acts tangentially between two bodies in contact when there is a relative motion between them.

The air resistance is that frictional force which is provided by the air to the moving body through it. Hence, the friction from air resistance will be directed opposite to the motion of the body.

In the given diagram, the airplane is going horizontally. The force A acts in forward direction while force C acts in backward direction. The forces B and D are acting vertically.  There is no motion in vertical direction. Hence, the net force of A and C will cause the airplane to move.

As the plane is moving along the direction of A, the frictional force must act along the direction of C.
