Answer:

98.7 seconds

Explanation:

I believe the answer is not 0.055s

Both trains have the same speed and are approaching each other.

They both have to cover 8.5km, and since they are going the same speed they need to cover half the distance each (4.25km)

So, how long will it take a train going 155km/h to travel 4.25km?

The ratio of

<h2> $\frac{155km}{1hour} = \frac{4.25km}{x hours}$ </h2>

There are 60 x 60 seconds in one hour (3600 seconds)

$\frac{155km}{3600 seconds} = \frac{4.25km}{x seconds}$

Solve for x to get 98.7 seconds

We can do this by flipping both sides of the ratio

$\frac{3600 s}{155 km} = \frac{x seconds}{4.25 km}$

Multiply both sides by 4.25km

4.25 × $\frac{3600 s}{155 km} ={x seconds}$

Our unknown x = 98.7 seconds

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piec

Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is $\dfrac{11}{17}\ J$

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one piece = 300 g

Speed of one piece = 1 m/s

Mass of other piece = 600 g

Speed of other piece = 0.75 m/s

We need to calculate the final velocity

Using conservation of energy

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v$

Put the value intro the formula

$300\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)=(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})v$

$v=\dfrac{00\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(-0.75)}{(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})}$

$v=-0.5\ m/s$

We need to calculate the total initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times10^{-3}\times1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)^2$

$K.E_{i}=0.31875\ J$

We need to calculate the total final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})\times(-0.5)^2$

$K.E_{f}=0.1125\ J$

We need to calculate the energy lost during the collision

Using formula of energy lost

$energy\ lost=\dfrac{0.31875-0.1125}{0.31875}$

$energy\ lost=\dfrac{11}{17}\ J$

Hence, The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is $\dfrac{11}{17}\ J$

What is Newton's second law of motion

Alexandra [31]

Newton’s second law is that the acceleration of an object is directly related to the net force and inversely related to its mass. Acceleration of an object depends on two things, force and mass.
