Railroad car A, with mass 6275 kg, is traveling east at 6.5 m/s along a straight track. It strikes railroad car B, with mass 515

5 kg, which is also traveling east along the same track at 3.8 m/s. The two railroad cars stick together. Assume the track is frictionless.
How Fast do the two attached railroad cars move immediately after the collision?

The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mass of A is 6275kg

Speed of A is 6.5m/s

Mass of B is 5155kg

Speed of B is 3.8m/s

Track is frictionless.

A and B stick together.

speed of attached A and B = ?

mₐsₐ + mᵇsᵇ = (mₐ + mb) s

6275 X 6.5 + 5155 X 3.8 = ( 6275 + 5155) X s\\\\s = \frac{40787.5 + 19589}{11430}\\ \\s = \frac{60376.5}{11430}\\ \\s = 5.28m/s

Therefore, The speed of A and B immediately after collision is 5.28m/s

Two forces F1 and F2 act on a 5.00 kg object. Taking F1=20.0N and F2=15.00N, find the acceleration of the object for the configu
Anit [1.1K]
A) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting perpendicular in the positive y direction<span>

m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N  ... x direction
F2=15.00N</span><span>  ... y direction

Net force ^2 = F1^2 + F2^2 = (20N)^2 + (15n)^2 =  625N^2 =>

Net force = √625 = 25N

F = m*a => a = F/m = 25.0 N /5.00 kg = 5 m/s^2

Answer: 5.00 m/s^2

b) mass m with F1 acting in the positive x direction and F2 acting on the object at 60 degrees above the horizontal. </span>

<span>m = 5.00 kg
F1=20.0N  ... x direction
F2=15.00N</span><span>  ... 60 degress above x direction

Components of F2

F2,x = F2*cos(60) = 15N / 2 = 7.5N

F2, y = F2*sin(60) = 15N* 0.866 = 12.99 N ≈ 13 N


Total force in x = F1 + F2,x = 20.0 N + 7.5 N = 27.5 N

Total force in y = F2,y = 13.0 N

Net force^2 = (27.5N)^2 + (13.0N)^2 = 925.25 N^2 = Net force = √(925.25N^2) =

= 30.42N

a = F /m = 30.42 N / 5.00 kg = 6.08 m/s^2

Answer: 6.08 m/s^2

Consider heat transfer between two identical hot solid bodies and their environments. The first solid is dropped in a large cont
sergeinik [125]
<h2>For Second Solid Lumped System is Applicabe</h2>

Explanation:

Considering heat transfer between two identical hot solid bodies and their environments -

  • If the first solid is dropped in a large container filled with water, while the second one is allowed to cool naturally in the air than for second solid, the lumped system analysis more likely to be applicable
  • The  reason is that a lumped system analysis is more likely to be applicable in the air than in water as the convection heat transfer coefficient so that the Biot number is less than or equal to 0.1 that is much smaller in air

Biot number = the ratio of conduction resistance within the body to convection resistance at the surface of the body

∴ For a lumped system analysis Biot number should be less than 0.1

1. Do alto de uma plataforma com 15m de altura, é lançado horizontalmente um projéctil. Pretende-se atingir um alvo localizado n
sveta [45]

Answer:

(a). The initial velocity is 28.58m/s

(b). The speed when touching the ground is 33.3m/s.

Explanation:

The equations governing the position of the projectile are

(1).\: x =v_0t

(2).\: y= 15m-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

(a).

When the projectile hits the 50m mark, y=0; therefore,

0=15-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2

solving for t we get:

t= 1.75s.

Thus, the projectile must hit the 50m mark in 1.75s, and this condition demands from equation (1) that

50m = v_0(1.75s)

which gives

\boxed{v_0 = 28.58m/s.}

(b).

The horizontal velocity remains unchanged just before the projectile touches the ground because gravity acts only along the vertical direction; therefore,

v_x = 28.58m/s.

the vertical component of the velocity is

v_y = gt \\v_y = (9.8m/s^2)(1.75s)\\\\{v_y = 17.15m/s.

which gives a speed v of

v = \sqrt{v_x^2+v_y^2}

\boxed{v =33.3m/s.}
