A 5000 kg train is traveling at a velocity of 100 m/s and hits another train. The two trains stick together and the new velocity is 50m/s. What is the mass of the second train?

A 5000 Kg Train Is Traveling At A Velocity Of 100 M/s And Hits Another Train. The Two Trains Stick Together

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum is used to solve

Unfortunately we have a missing piece of information such as the initial velocity of the unknown mass train.

If we ASSUME that the second train is at rest

5000(100) + m(0) = 5000(50) + m(50)

which means m = 5000 kg

However, I'll show you the importance of knowing that initial velocity by finding it assuming the other answers are valid

if m = 15000 kg

5000(100) + 15000(v₀) = (5000 + 15000)(50)

v₀ = 33 ⅓ m/s

if m = 10000 kg

5000(100) + 10000(v₀) = (5000 + 10000)(50)

v₀ = 25 m/s

if m = 8000 kg

5000(100) + 8000(v₀) = (5000 + 8000)(50)

v₀ = 18.75 m/s

So you can see why I had to assume an initial velocity. Any of the masses could work if the initial velocity is chosen correctly.

help :D

Answers

Forget the numbers and think about how speed works for a second. If a plane flies at 600km/h, this means that it will fly exactly 600 km in 1 hour. So, how long would it take to fly 2400 km??

2400/600 = 4hours.

Do this for all three and add up the hours.

Total time: 12 hours

Average speed is the total distance / total time.

So,

Add up all the distances and divide by 12.

(2400+1200+2500) / 12

Average speed: 508.33333333 km/h

A 10 kg box initially at rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of 20 m/s in 2 seconds. Determine the A. energy gained by the block, B. Power developed by the box at the end of 10 seconds.​

Answers

Answer:

20 40

Explanation:

A 10 kg box initially at rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of 20 m/s in 2 seconds, energy gained by the block 2000 J and Power developed by the box at the end of 10 seconds 5000 Watt

What is work done?

The total amount of energy transferred when a force is applied to move an object through some distance

The work done is the multiplication of applied force with displacement.

Work Done = Force * Displacement

As given in the problem A 10 kg box initially at rest accelerates uniformly to a speed of 20 m/s in 2 seconds

By using the first equation of motion

v = u + at

20 = 0 + 2a

a = 10 m/s²

By using the third equation of motion

v² - u² = 2as

20² - 0² = 2×10×s

s = 400/20

s = 20 m

Force = ma

          = 10 ×10

          = 100 N

work done = Force × displacement

                   = 100 ×20

                   = 2000 J

Velocity after 10 seconds

V= u + at

  = 0 + 10×10

  = 100 m/s

work done after 10 seconds

= 1/2mv²

= 0.5×10×10²

=50000 J

Power = work done  / time

           = 50000/10

           = 5000 Watt

Thus, energy gained by the block 2000 J and Power developed by the box at the end of 10 seconds 5000 Watt

The distance between tow objects is increased by 3 times the original distance. How will this change the force of attraction between the two objects?

Answers

Answer:

force of attraction will be increased by 9

Explanation:

force of attraction is inversely proportional to square of distance

i.e F= 1/

F=1/3R²

F=1/9R

multiply both side by 9

9×F= 9×1/9R

9F= 1/R

so force of attraction is 9 times

Two balls were dropped at the same time from the top of a ladder. The balls are of equal size but ball A has more mass than Ball B. Which best describes the time it would take for the two balls to hit the ground

A .Not enough information
B. Ball B would hit the ground first
C. Ball A and B will hit the ground at the same time.

Answers

Answer:

A

Explanation:

If we ignore air resistance or friction, the balls would hit the ground at the same time. The question does not state whether or not there is air resistance.

If there was air resistance, ball A would hit the ground first.

Again, there is no information provided on whether is is air resistance or not, so there is not enough information.

A 10-kg box is being pulled across the table to the right at a constant speed with a force of 50N, directed 30 degrees below the horizontal.

a.) Calculate the force of friction acting on the box.
b.) Calculate the normal force acting on the box.

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

Assuming the table is horizontal

As speed is constant, friction must exactly balance the horizontal component of the applied force

Ff = 50cos30 = 43 N

The  normal force must oppose both the weight of the box and the vertical component of the applied force.

N = 10(9.8) + 50sin30 = 123 N

The frictional force can be calculated with the angle and mass of the moving body and the normal force acting on it. The normal force on the body is 98 N and the frictional force is 7.712 N.

What is friction?

Friction is the resistance to the movement of a body. If the motion is in a frictionless path then the body will moves in a constant speed in a straight line.

The normal force is the product of mass of the body and gravity 9.8. Then the frictional force can be calculated by the equation with of friction as follows:

Frictional force = F × cos ∅

is the angle.

Thus frictional force = 50N × cos 30

                                 = 7.712 N

The normal force F = m ×  g

                                = 10 Kg × 9.8 m/s²

                                = 98 N.

Therefore, the normal force acting on the body moving with a constant speed and constant force 50 N and horizontal angle 30 degree is 98 N and the frictional force is 7.712 N.

A) as the released swing begins moving backward

B) at the highest point as the swing moves forward

C) when the swing is pulled back prior to release

D) just after release of the swing

Answers

Answer:C) When the swing is pulled back to prior release

Explanation:

This question involves the concepts of the law of conservation of energy, gravitational potential energy, and kinetic energy.

All of the energy is gravitational potential energy at "C) when the swing is pulled back prior to release".

The law of conservation of energy states that at any point the total energy of the swing must be constant, which means:

Total Energy = Gravitational Potential Energy + Kinetic Energy = Constant

It is clear that the swing has a non-zero speed in all given situations except the situation in part C), where the swing is at rest before release. Since the kinetic energy exists due to motion in the object. Hence, the kinetic energy will be zero when the swing is pulled back prior to release. It means all the energy in the swing at this time will be the gravitational potential energy.

Answer: Options that describes first law of motion from the question are;

An overall net force must be applied to an object before it can move.

Newton’s first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia.

Newton’s first law applies to an object whether it is moving or not.

Newton's first law states can be regarded as law of inertia. it made us to understand that when a body is resting then it keeps the rest unless there is external force been acted on it or if the body is  moving at a constant speed, it will continue until there is external force acted.

A body will move from its resting only when net force is applied.

Example of this law is seen in when someone is sitting in a car putting on the seat belt.

This law applies to moving object as well as static object.

According to the conservation of energy, at any given point of motion, the energy of a system will always be constant.
