Answer:
The momentum would be doubled
Explanation:
The magnitude of the momentum of the freight train is given by:
where
m is the mass of the train
v is its speed
In this problem, we have that the speed of the train is unchanged, while the mass of the train is doubled:
therefore, the new momentum is
so, the momentum has also doubled.
Answer:
t = 13.7 s or t = 14 s with proper significant figures
Explanation:
The initial speed is 0 m/s since the car starts from rest, acceleration is 5.5 m/s2 and distance is 523 m.
Since we have initial speed, acceleration and distance we can use the following formula to find the time. We can now use algebra to work out our answer.
d = vt + at²
523 = (0)t + ()(5.5)t²
523 = 2.8t²
186.8 = t²
13.7 s = t
(t = 14 s with proper significant figures)
