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

Can someone please explain the quantum theory in simple terms
BaLLatris [955]
Quantum theory is the theoretical basis of modern physics that explains the nature and behavior of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level. The nature and behavior of matter and energy at that level is sometimes referred to as quantum physics and quantum mechanics.
