A train car with mass m1 = 515 kg is moving to the right with a speed of v1 = 7.5 m/s and collides with a second train car. The

two cars latch together during the collision and then move off to the right at vf = 4.8 m/s.Now the same two cars are involved in a second collision. The first car is again moving to the right with a speed of v1 = 7.5 m/s and collides with the second train car that is now moving to the left with a velocity v2 = -6 m/s before the collision. The two cars latch together at impact.What is the final velocity of the two-car system? (A positive velocity means the two train cars move to the right – a negative velocity means the two train cars move to the left.)

Answer:

For the first situation, we first need to find the mass of the second train car.

In order to do that, we apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

515*7.5+m2*0=(m1+m2)*4.8

and we have as a result:

m2 = 289.6875

For the second situation, also we will apply the conservation of the amount of movement:

515*7.5-289.6875*6 = (515+289.6875)*V

and we have as a result:

V = 2.64 (it is moving to the right)

Why must we be careful when measuring current with a DMM?
Lemur [1.5K]

Answer:

DMM should be placed in the series combination with the circuit.

Explanation:

DMM is the digital multi meter. It can measure the voltage, current and resistance at a time.

  • While measuring the current with the DMM you must be ensure that the DMM should be connected with the circuit in series combination. So that it will give the resultant current accurately.
  • While measuring the voltage the observer should check the open probes.

1) Subatomic particles called muons can be created in the upper atmosphere by collisions of cosmic rays (energetic particles com
Vsevolod [243]

Answer and explanation:

A.

Muon travelled straight down towards the earth. Therefore the tree moves up in the rest frame of muon (option a)

B.

In muon rest frame it travels Zero meters

C.

Distance, d = Velocity, v * Time, s

where, v = 0.9c = 0.9 \times 8 \times 10^8 , s = 2.2 \mu s

d = 0.9 \times 3 \times 10^8 \times 2.2 \times 10^{-6}\\\\d = 594m

D.

Distance from the top of the mountain to the tree is the same as the distance travelled by the tree in the muons rest frame

that is same as in part C which is 594m

E.

Using lorentz contraction

In the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain

the distance is given by

d' = \frac{d}{\gamma} = d\sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}, where, \frac{1}{\gamma}= \sqrt{1 - \frac{v^2}{c^2}}

d' = 594\sqrt{1 - \frac{(0.9c)^2}{c^2}}

d' = 594\sqrt{1 - 0.81}

d' = 594 \times 0.4359

d' = 258.92m

F.

in the rest frame of someone standing on the mountain,

muon moves straight down
