n the railroad accident, a boxcar weighting 200 kN and traveling at 3 m/s on horizontal track slams into a stationary caboose we

ighting 400 kN. The collision connects the caboose to the car, and then both move together and you have found the final velocity. Apparently, initial kinetic energy of the system changes (in part, because of friction present). How much energy (in kJ) is transferred from kinetic energy to other forms of energy (e..g., thermal) in the collision

Answer:

ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

Explanation:

This is a crash problem, let's start by defining a system formed by the two trucks, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the moment is preserved

initial instant. Before the crash

        p₀ = m v₁ + M 0

final instant. Right after the crash

        p_f = (m + M) v

        p₀ = p_f

        mv₁ = (m + M) v

        v = \frac{m}{m+M} \  v_1

     

we substitute

        v = \frac{20}{20+40}   3

        v = 1.0 m / s

having the initial and final velocities, let's find the kinetic energy

        K₀ = ½ m v₁² + 0

        K₀ = ½ 20 10³ 3²

        K₀ = 9 10⁴ J

        K_f = ½ (m + M) v²

        K_f = ½ (20 +40) 10³  1²

        K_f = 3 10⁴ J

the change in energy is

       ΔK = K_f - K₀

       ΔK = (3 - 9) 10⁴

       ΔK = -6 10⁴ J

The negative sign indicates that the energy is ranked in another type of energy

Pls how to solve this problem. help would be appreciated ​
Bingel [31]

Answer:

80 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

a = -5 m/s²

v = 0 m/s

Δx = 640 m

Find: v₀

v² = v₀² + 2a(x − x₀)

(0 m/s)² = v₀² + 2(-5 m/s²) (640 m)

v₀ = 80 m/s

Describe the difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate and the velocity graph made at an increasing ra
levacccp [35]

Answer:

The difference between the velocity graph made walking at a steady rate means that its the same value in time, that means there's no slope on the graph, so its acceleration is 0

On the other hand, if the velocity is increasing with time, the slope of the graph becomes positive, which means that the acceleration of the particle is positive.
