The sun's energy begins as what form of energy?

Freight car A with a gross weight of 200,000 lbs is moving along the horizontal track in a switching yard at 4 mi/hr. Freight ca

zhenek [66]

Answer: a) 4.7 mi/hr. b) 86,500 lbs. mi²/Hr²

Explanation:

As in any collision, under the assumption that no external forces exist during the very small collision time, momentum must be conserved.

If the collision is fully inelastic, both masses continue coupled each other as a single mass, with a single speed.

So, we can write the following:

p₁ = p₂ ⇒m₁.v₁ + m₂.v₂ = (m₁ + m₂). vf

Replacing by the values, and solving for vf, we get:

vf = (200,000 lbs. 4 mi/hr + 100,000 lbs. 6 mi/hr) / 300,000 lbs = 4.7 mi/hr

If the track is horizontal, this means that thre is no change in gravitational potential energy, so any loss of energy must be kinetic energy.

Before the collision, the total kinetic energy of the system was the following:

K₁ = 1/2 (m₁.v₁² + m₂.v₂²) = 3,400,000 lbs. mi² / hr²

After the collision, total kinetic energy is as follows:

K₂ = 1/2 ((m₁ + m₂) vf²) = 3,313,500 lbs. mi²/hr²

So we have an Energy loss, equal to the difference between initial kinetic energy and final kinetic energy, as follows:

DE = K₁ - K₂ = 86,500 lbs. mi² / hr²

This loss is due to the impact, and is represented by the work done by friction forces (internal) during the impact.

Not in book

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

$x=2.4365\ m$

and

$x=-1.4365\ m$

Explanation:

Given:

first charge, $q_1=5\times 10^{-3}\ C$

second charge, $q_2=3\times 10^{-3}\ C$

position of first charge, $x_1=-2\ m$

position of second charge, $x_2=-1\ m$

Now since there are only 2 charges and of the same sign so they repel each other. This repulsion will be zero at some point on the line joining the charges.

<u>Now, according to the condition, electric field will be zero where the effects of field due to both the charges is equal.</u>

$E_1=E_2$

since first charge is greater than the second charge so we may get a point to the right of the second charge and the distance between the two charges is 1 meter.

$\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_1}{(r+1)^2} =\frac{1}{4\pi.\epsilon_0} \frac{q_2}{(r)^2}$

$\frac{5\times 10^{-3}}{(r+1)^2} = \frac{3\times 10^{-3}}{(r)^2}$

$3(r^2+1+2r)=5r^2$

$2r^2-6r-3=0$

$r=3.4365 \&\ r=-0.4365$

Since we have assumed that the we may get a point to the right of second charge so we calculate with respect to the origin.

$x=-1+3.4365=2.4365\ m$

and

$x=-1-0.4365=-1.4365\ m$

Step 2: Apply NEwton's second law Apply ∑Fy = may , what should ay be equal to, since the block doesn't move in the y direction

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

∑Fy = 0, because there is no movement, N = m*g*cos (omega)

Explanation:

We can solve this problem with the help of a free body diagram where we show the respective forces in each one of the axes, y & x. The free-body diagram and the equations are in the image attached.

If the product of mass by acceleration is zero, we must clear the normal force of the equation obtained. The acceleration is equal to zero because there is no movement on the Y-axis.
