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)

Two speakers in a stereo emit identical pure tones. As you move around in front of the speakers, you hear the sound alternating
BigorU [14]

Answer:

Interference

Explanation:

When two traveling waves traveling waves along the same path are superimposed(combine). The superimposition of these two waves results in the production of a resultant wave which is defined by the net effect of the two waves. Wave interference occurs most types of waves including radio wave, light, acoustic waves and other wave types. Alternating sound between loud and Zero is heard as the two speakers emit identical pure tones because the resultant amplitude after the interference of the two sound waves is the vector sum of each of their amplitudes. A loud sound is heard, when the crest of both waves meets each other and a zero is heard if the crest of one meets the trough of the other as they cancel out.
