An empty 230 kg elevator accelerates upward

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

where ;

$m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2$

Given in the question that;

$m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?$

Apply the formula as;

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}

slader the cross section of a 5-ft long trough is an isosceles trapezoid with a 2 foot lower base, a 3-foot upper base, and an a

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

0.08 ft/min

Explanation:

To get the speed at witch the water raising at a given point we need to know the area it needs to fill at that point in the trough (the longitudinal section), which is given by the height at that point.

So we need to get the lenght of the sides for a height of 1 foot. Given the geometry of the trough, one side is the depth d and the other (lets call it l) is given by:

$l=\frac{3-2}{2}\,ft+2\,ft\\l=2.5\,ft$

since the difference between the upper and lower base is the increase in the base and we are only at halft the height.

Now we can calculate the longitudinal section A at that point:

$A=d\times l\\A=5\,ft \times 2.5\, ft\\A=12.5\, ft^{2}$

And the raising speed v of the water is given by:

$v=\frac{q}{A}\\v=\frac{1\, \frac{ft^3}{min}}{12.5\, ft^2}\\v=0.08\, \frac{ft}{min}$

where q is the water flow (1 cubic foot per minute).

Is (kr) an element a compound or a mixture?

Xelga [282]

Krypton ... symbol Kr ... is an element. It's element number 36, because
there are 36 protons in the nucleus of every atom of Krypton.

Krypton has nothing to do with Superman, except that about 75 years ago,
the creators of Superman thought it was a cool-sounding scientific word,
so they chose it for the name of his home planet.

What do you know about nuclear energy?

aev [14]

Answer:

Nuclear energy comes from splitting atoms in a reactor to heat water into steam, turn a turbine and generate electricity. Ninety-three nuclear reactors in 28 states generate nearly 20 percent of the nation's electricity, all without carbon emissions because reactors use uranium, not fossil fuels.
