Iron oxide = small region within a magnet
drop or hammer =man-made magnet
strength decreases rapidly with distance lines of force
Answer:
a) Acceleration of the car is given as

b) Acceleration of the truck is given as

Explanation:
As we know that there is no external force in the direction of motion of truck and car
So here we can say that the momentum of the system before and after collision must be conserved
So here we will have

now we have


a) For acceleration of car we know that it is rate of change in velocity of car
so we have



b) For acceleration of truck we will find the rate of change in velocity of the truck
so we have



Answer:
The speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s.
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the railroad car, m₁ = 16000 kg
Speed of the railroad car, v₁ = 23 m/s
Mass of additional load, m₂ = 5400 kg
The additional load is dropped onto the car. Let v will be its speed. On applying the conservation of momentum as :



v = 17.19 m/s
So, the speed of the car when load is dropped in it is 17.19 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
