An empty 2,500 kg train car is headed northbound at a velocity of 5 m/s. Ahead of the first car, an empty 1,500 kg car is headed

Tema [17]

Let the mass of 2500 kg car be $m_1$ and it's velocity be $v_1$ and the mass of 1500 kg car be $m_2$ and it's velocity be $v_2$ .

After the bumping the mass be M and it's velocity be V.

By law of conservation of momentum we have

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2 = MV$

2500 * 5 + 1500 * 1=4000 * V

V = 14000/4000 = 7/2 = 3.5 m/s

So the velocity of the two-car train = 3.5 m/s

Bowling balls are roughly the same size, but come in a variety of weights. Given its official radius of roughly 0.110 m, calcula

velikii [3]

Answer:

6.1328 kg

60.16284 N

Explanation:

r = Radius of ball = 0.11 m

$\rho$ = Density of fluid = $1.1\times 10^3\ kg/m^3$ (Assumed)

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

m = Mass of ball

V = Volume of ball = $\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$

The weight of the bowling ball will balance the buouyant force

$W=F_b\\\Rightarrow mg=V\rho g\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{V\rho g}{g}\\\Rightarrow m=V\rho\\\Rightarrow m=\frac{4}{3}\pi 0.11^3\times 1.1\times 10^3\\\Rightarrow m=6.1328\ kg$

The mass of the bowling ball will be 6.1328 kg

Weight will be $6.1328\times 9.81=60.16284\ N$

When a burning stick of increase is moved fast in a circle a circle of red light is seen.

Answer:

The impression of the image on the retina lasts for about 1/16th of a second after the removal of the object. If a burning stick of incense is revolved at a rate of more than sixteen revolutions per second, we see a circle of red light due to persistence of vision.
