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)

Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

  Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

Explanation:

The diffraction pattern for constructive interference is described by

        a sin θ = m λ

in this it indicates that the order of diffraction is m = 1

Let's use a direct proportion rule to find the separation of two slits. If there are 600 lines in 1 me, what is the distance between 2 slits

   a = 2 lines 1/600

   a = 2/600

    a = 3.33 10⁻³ mm = 3.33 10⁻⁴ cm

let's use trigonometry

      tan θ = y / L

as the measured angles are small

      tan θ = sin θ / cos θ sin θ

      sin θ = y / L

we substitute

     a  y/L = λ

     y = λ L / a

for λ = 400 10-9 m

      I = 400 10⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

      i = 346.89 10⁻⁶ m

f

or λ = 700 nm

        y_f = 700 10⁻⁻⁹ 2.9 / 3.33 10⁻³

        y_f = 609.609 10⁻⁶ m

the separation of this spectrum

        Δr = v_f - i

        Dr = (609.609 - 346)  10 ⁻⁶

        Dr = 263 10⁻⁶ m

A solid cylinder is released from the top of an inclined plane of height 0.81 m. From what height, in meters, on the incline sho
Jlenok [28]

Answer:

same 0.81m

Explanation:

in this problem if we assume there no resistance of any sort. and we apply the energy conservation

change in Potential energy = change in kinetic energy

mgh = 0.5mv^2

gh = 0.5v^2

the above relation suggests that the speed at the bottom is only depending on the height it is released from not on the shape, mass or radius.

so at the bottom

put h = 0.81m

9.81 * 0.81 * 2 = v^2

v=3.99 m/s

both CYLINDER and SPHERE will have same velocity at the bottom if released from the same height irrespective of shape and size

Consider the table below. Which of the following data sets depict an accelerating object? Mark all that apply.
Gre4nikov [31]

Answer:

A and B

Explanation:

The data sets that depict an accelerating object is Data Set A & Data Set B.

The both data sets show that the body is accelerating. Also, they show that the body started from rest (0m/s) at a 0sec.

Data Set A shows a non-constant acceleration which has changing amount of velocity with change in time. While Data Set B shows a constant acceleration which has constant amount of velocity with change in time.
