An open-topped freight car with mass 24,000 kg is coasting without friction along a level track. It is raining very hard, and th

e rain is falling vertically downward. Originally, the car is empty and moving with a speed of 4.00 m/s.(a) What is the speed of the car after it has collected 3000 kg of rainwater?(b) Since the rain is falling downward, how is it able to affect the horizontal motion of the car?

Answer:

(a) v = 3..6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg

initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s

mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg

final velocity of the car (v) = ?

(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where

initial momentum = final momentum

Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V

24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v

96,000 = 27000v

v =3.6 m/s

(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.

suppose that 273 g of one of the substances listed above displaces 26 mL of water. What is the substance?

guajiro [1.7K]

<span>The unknown substance is silver. I don't see a list of available substances, but let's see if there's something reasonable available that will match. First, let's calculate the density of the unknown substance. Density is mass per volume, so 273 g / 26 mL = 10.5 g/mL Looking up a list of elements sorted by density, I see the following: 10.07 Actinium 10.22 Molybdenum 10.5 Silver 11.35 Lead And silver at 10.5 g/ml is a very nice match for the unknown substances' density of 10.5 g/ml.</span>

An 800-kHz radio signal is detected at a point 4.5 km distant from a transmitter tower. The electric field amplitude of the sign

saul85 [17]

Answer:

$2.1\times 10^{-9} T$

Explanation:

We are given that

Frequency,f=800KHz= $800\times 10^{3} Hz$

$1kHz=10^{3} Hz$

Distance,d=4.5 km= $4.5\times 10^{3} m$

1 km=1000 m

Electric field,E=0.63V/m

We have to find the magnetic field amplitude of the signal at that point.

$c=3\times 10^8 m/s$

We know that

$B=\frac{E}{c}$

$B=\frac{0.63}{3\times 10^8}=0.21\times 10^{-8} T$

$B=2.1\times 10^{-9} T$

Kay [80]

<span>Poet Kuangchi Chang did not remain in China long enough to be "re-educated." Following the Communist takeover he fled to the United States. His poem "Garden of My Childhood" describes China before the revolution as a peaceful, idyllic garden with a violent horde rapidly approaching. A vine, the wind, and the sea are each personified, and each beckons for him to run. It is not until "eons later," when he is "worlds away," that his "running is all done," and he finds himself at his destination: another garden, just like the one he had left behind.</span>

A radio wave is generated by a transmitter and then detected by a receiver. An antenna allows a radio transmitter to send energy into space and a receiver to pick up energy from space. Transmitters and receivers are typically designed to operate over a limited range of frequencies

Two vectors, r and c, are equal: r = c. Which of the following statements are true? (Select all that apply.)

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

(A) The y-component of r must be equal to the y-component of c

(B) The x-component of r must be equal to the x-component of c

(C) The z-component of r must be equal to the z-component of c

(F) The unit vector r must be equal to the unit vector c.

Explanation:

If two vectors are equal there are some conditions must be satisfy for the two vectors to be equal.

Let us suppose 2 vectors as,

$A=a_{1}i+ a_{2}j+a_{3}k$ and

$B=b_{1}i+ b_{2}j+b_{3}k$

The conditions for the above two vectors should be equal are:

(1) $a_{1}=b_{1}$ , $a_{2}=b_{2}$ , and $a_{3}=b_{3}$ .

(2) Unit vector of A must be equal to unit vector of B.

(3) Magnitude of both the vectors should be equal.

Now, according to question and observing above conditions of equality for r and c to be equal, the statements should be true are:

(A) The y-component of r should be equal to the y-component of c

(B) The x-component of r should be equal to the x-component of c

(C) The z-component of r should be equal to the z-component of c

(F) The unit vector r should be equal to the unit vector c.
