The added weight of the sand puts more downward pressure on the wheels contacting the rails, which would cause the trains speed to decrease.
Answer:
B. 1500 kg*m/s
Explanation:
Momentum p = m* v
In any type of collision, the total momentum is preserved!
The total momentum before and the total momentum after the collision is the same. We know the mass and speed after the collision so we can calculate the total momentum.
p1 + p2 =
m1*v1 + m2*v2
m1 = me = 300 kg
v1 = 3 m/s
v2 = 2 m/s
Substitute the given numbers:
300*3 + 300+2
900 + 600
1500 kg*m/s, which is answer B.

Hi there!
Acceleration:
a = Δv / Δt, so:
a = 20/9 ≈ 2.22 m/s²
Displacement:
We can use the equation Δd = v₀t + 1/2at² to solve. (Initial velocity is 0).
Δd = 1/2at²
Plug in the acceleration and time:
Δd = 1/2(2.22)(9)² ≈ 89.91 m
