Momentum - mass in motion
P=MV
P=(15,000 kg)(2.5 m/s)
P=37 500 kg x m/s to the north
Hope this helps
The trains take <u>57.4 s</u> to pass each other.
Two trains A and B move towards each other. Let A move along the positive x axis and B along the negative x axis.
therefore,

The relative velocity of the train A with respect to B is given by,

If the train B is assumed to be at rest, the train A would appear to move towards it with a speed of 170 km/h.
The trains are a distance d = 2.71 km apart.
Since speed is the distance traveled per unit time, the time taken by the trains to cross each other is given by,

Substitute 2.71 km for d and 170 km/h for 

Express the time in seconds.

Thus, the trains cross each other in <u>57.4 s</u>.
Answer:
<h2>E) 52.5 cm</h2>
Explanation:
Step one:
given data
period T= 3 milliseconds= 0.003
velocity v= 175m/s
wave lenght λ=?
Step two:
we know that f=1/T
the expression relating period and wave lenght is
v=λ/T
λ=v*T
λ=175*0.002
λ=0.525m
to cm= 0.525*100
=52.5cm
The wavelength of the wave is E) 52.5 cm
<span>B. equal and in opposite directions</span>
Observer A is moving inside the train
so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame
So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all
Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body
So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform
Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction
So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate
Now as per Newton's II law
F = ma
Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion
So we can say
- F = ma

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate
It is not affected by the gravity because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train
So there is no effect on train motion
