A railroad car of mass 2.50∙10^4 kg is moving at a speed of 4.00 m/s. It collides and couples with three other coupled railroad

cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction with an initial speed of 2.00 m/s.
(a)What is the speed of the four cars after the collision?
(b)How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? Where does this energy go?

Answer:

a) v = 1.00 m/s

b) ΔKE = 150 kJ

Lost  energy makes heat, noise, vibration in the system

Explanation:

conservation of momentum

let m be the mass of one car

m(4.00) + 3m(0) = 4mv

v = 1.00 m/s

ΔKE = ½m(4.00)² + ½(3m)(0.00)² - ½(4m)(1.00)²

ΔKE = 8m + 0m - 2m = 6m J

ΔKE = 6(2.50e4) = 150 kJ

25. IF THE ROADWAY IS WET AND THE CAR STARTS TO SKID, YOU SHOULD: A. Slow down by pumping the brakes quickly and firmly B. Slow
AnnZ [28]

If the roadway is wet and the cars starts to skid, one should slow down by shifting to lower gear. The correct option is B.

<h3>What are gears?</h3>

A gear is component used to transmit motion. They are used in cars, trucks, machines, bicycles, etc.

For a car to avoid skidding on the wet roads, one must drive the car slowly. This can be done by shifting the gear to the lower one. This will help car to keep balance when brakes are applied on wet roads.

Thus, the correct option is B.

Answer:

<u>Resolving</u><u> </u><u>horizontally</u><u>.</u> :

\sum d_{x} =  - (17.0 \cos 20.0) - (11.0 \cos 35.0) + (30.0 \cos 50.0) + 0 \\  { \underline{d _{x} =  -  5.702 \: m}} \\  \\  \sum d _{y} = (17.0 \sin 20.0) + 12.0 - (11.0  \sin 35.0) - (30.0 \sin 50.0) \\ { \underline{d _{y}  =  - 11.476 \: m}}

therefore, for resultant:

d =  \sqrt{ {d _{y} }^{2} + d _{x}  {}^{2}  }

substitute:

d =  \sqrt{ {( - 5.702)}^{2} +  {( - 11.476)}^{2}  }  \\  \\ d =  \sqrt{164.211}  \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{ \bf{d = 12.8 \: m}}}}

A boy weighs 40 kilograms. He runs at a velocity of 4 meters per second north. Which is his momentum?
Bogdan [553]
The boy's momentum is 160 kg*m/s north.

The formula of momentum is p = mv, where p is momentum.
p = 40 kg * 4m/s north
p =160 kg*m/s north
