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

Using the periodic table, choose the more reactive metal. Al or Mg
ziro4ka [17]
Aluminum, and magnesium are metals. For metals, reactivity decreases as you go from left to right across the periodic table. Atomic number of Al is 13 and of Mg is 12. Hence the least reactive of these two is therefore aluminum.

Magnesium is "HIGHLY FLAMMABLE" carefully take a small piece and hit it with a torch. If its Magnesium it will "Caution, very, quickly burn.
Aluminum will not react to simple flame, it will only melt with enough direct heat.


Magnesium
==========
Atomic Number: 12
Atomic Symbol: Mg
Atomic Weight: 24.305
Electron Configuration: 2-8-2


Aluminum
========
Atomic Number: 13
Atomic Symbol: Al
Atomic Weight: 26.9815
Electron Configuration: 2-8-3

Hope this helps some. Any questions please feel free to ask. Thank you

How do you compare the energies of the different parts of the electromagnetic spectrum?
faltersainse [42]

The different types of radiation in electromagnetic spectrum are compared by the amount of energy found in the photons.

Radio waves have photons with low energies, microwave photons have a little more energy than radio-waves. Infrared photons still have more energy, then comes visible, ultraviolet, x-rays and the most energetic of all, gamma rays.

The energy associated with electromagnetic radiation is proportional to frequency and inversely proportional to wavelength. So, electromagnetic waves with shorter wavelengths have more energy.

On one end of the electromagnetic spectrum are radio waves, which have wavelengths billions of times longer than those of visible light. On the other end of the spectrum are gamma rays with wavelengths billions of times smaller than those of visible light.
