In an extremely simplified explanation,
What happens is that the steam (heat) that is generated by the burning of coal is used to rotate the motor of the steam engine.
Answer:
bus momentum
p_bus= m_bus x v_bus
=18,200 x 16.5
basball momentum
pball=mball x vball
=0.142 x v
p_bus = pball
18200 x 16.5 = 0.142 x v
v=(18200 x 16.5)/0.142
v is the answer for baseball
Explanation:
⚠️not my answer tryna be honest here⚠️
Answer: The force constant k is 10600 kg/s^2
Step by step:
Use the law of energy conservation. When the elevator hits the spring, it has a certain kinetic and a potential energy. When the elevator reaches the point of still stand the kinetic and potential energies have been transformed to work performed by the elevator in the form of friction (brake clamp) and loading the spring.
Let us define the vertical height axis as having two points: h=2m at the point of elevator hitting the spring, and h=0m at the point of stopping.
The total energy at the point h=2m is:

The total energy at the point h=0m is:

The two Energy values are to be equal (by law of energy conservation), which allows us to determine the only unknown, namely the force constant k:

Answer:
About 66 miles per hour
Explanation:
Based on the information given we can assume the car traveled the same number of miles every hour meaning all we need to do is divide.
400/6 ≈ 66 miles per hour
