Answer:

Mass Kinetic Energy and Jules

Explanation:

The train in question is big and heavy and a car is decently heavy but say a train moving at 55 mph can plow through a car and a car driving at 55mph driving at a train will be stopped dead in its tracks. This is because newtons laws of motion specifically an object in motion will stay in motion unless its opposed. The train also has a payload behind it meaning it hurts with force while a car doesn't have to much mass behind it. The train takes loner to stop for as it's acceleration as well as it's deceleration are very slow because its huge and takes a lot of force to stop it while a car is very centralized and compact when it comes to weight and its brakes are usually effective at stopping at 55 mph in about 2 to 6 seconds while a train might stay moving for a good 35 seconds. The force behind the train is immense for as even if the wheels don't spin at all the train will still move since the force behind it is great and a cars tires have a lot of grip and not a lot mass which plays into the force the car has so it can stop simply.

If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the 1200.-kg pick-up truck behind him continues tr

Alborosie

Answer: 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

From the question above, we have the following data;

M1 = 800kg

M2 = 1200kg

V1 = 13m/s

V2 = 25m/s

U (common velocity) =?

M1V1 + M2V2 = (M1 + M2). U

(800*13) + (1200*25) = (800+1200) * U

10400 + 30000 = 2000u

40400 = 2000u

U = 40400 / 2000

U = 20.2 m/s

An apple is whirled round in a horizontal circle on the end of a string which is tied to the stalk. It is whirled faster and fas

jek_recluse [69]

when the apple moves in a horizontal circle, the tension force in the string provides the necessary centripetal force to move in circle. the tension in the string is given as

T=mv²/r

where T = tension force in the string , m = mass of the apple

v = speed of apple , r = radius of circle.

clearly , tension force depends on the square of the speed. hence greater the speed, greater will be the tension force.

at some point , the speed becomes large enough that it makes the tension force in the string becomes greater than the tensile strength of the string. at that point , the string breaks
