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.

40-turn circular coil (radius = 4.0 cm, total resistance = 0.20 ) is placed in a uniform magnetic field directed perpendicular

lidiya [134]

Answer:

$EMF = 316 Volts$

Explanation:

As we know that magnetic flux through the coil is given by

$\phi = NBA$

now by Faraday law we know that rate of change in magnetic flux is equal to the EMF induced in the coil

so we have

$-\frac{d\phi}{dt} = EMF$

$EMF = -NA\frac{dB}{dt}$

now we have

$B = 50 sin(10\pi t)$

$A = \pi r^2 = \pi(0.04)^2 = 5.03 \times 10^{-3} m^2$

now we have

$EMF = -(40)(5.03 \times 10^{-3})\frac{d(50 sin(10\pi t))}{dt}$

$EMF = -0.2012(50 \times 10\pi)cos(10\pi t)$

$EMF = -316 cos(10\pi t)$

now at t = 0.10 s

$EMF = 316 Volts$

You are driving on a road where rain has left large pools of water, and you have driven through water that was several inches de

makvit [3.9K]

In would say that you may have water in your brakes which may have gotten in the brake lines or in the brake discs so that could cause the brakes to malfunction due to driving through the pools of water so the brakes should be examined as soon as possible.

A weightlifter lifts a 13.0-kg barbel from the ground an moves it a distance of 1.3 meters. What is the work se does on the barb

marta [7]

The work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

Explanation:

Work done on any object is the measure of force required to move that object from one position to another. So it is determined by the product of force acting on the object with the displacement of the object.

In the present problem, the displacement of the object on acting of force is given as 1.3 m. And the weight of the object which is a barbel is given as 13 kg. As the work is to lift the object from the ground, so the acceleration due to gravity will be acting on the object. In other words, the force applied on the object to lift it should be in opposite direction to the acting of acceleration due to gravity.

Thus, $Force = - Mass * Acceleration due to gravity = - 13 * 9.8 =-127.4 N$

Now, the force is -127.4 N and the displacement is 1.3 m.

So, $Work done = F*d$

$Work done = -127.4* 1.3 = -165.62 Nm$

So, the work done on the barbell is -165.62 Nm.

At a given point on a horizontal streamline in flowing air, the static pressure is â2.0 psi (i.e., a vacuum) and the velocity is

Nastasia [14]

At a point on the streamline, Bernoulli's equation is
p/ρ + v²/(2g) = constant
where
p = pressure
v = velocity
ρ = density of air, 0.075 lb/ft³ (standard conditions)
g = 32 ft/s²

Point 1:
p₁ = 2.0 lb/in² = 2*144 = 288 lb/ft²
v₁ = 150 ft/s

Point 2 (stagnation):
At the stagnation point, the velocity is zero.

The density remains constant.
Let p₂ = pressure at the stagnation point.
Then,
p₂ = ρ(p₁/ρ + v₁²/(2g))
p₂ = (288 lb/ft²) + [(0.075 lb/ft³)*(150 ft/s)²]/[2*(32 ft/s²)
= 314.37 lb/ft²
= 314.37/144 = 2.18 lb/in²

Answer: 2.2 psi

A 7.0-kilogram cart, A, and a 3.0-kilogram cart, B, are initially held together at rest on a horizontal, frictionless surface. W

7nadin3 [17]

For this problem, we use the conservation of momentum as a solution. Since momentum is mass times velocity, then,

m₁v₁ + m₂v₂ = m₁v₁' + m₂v₂'
where
v₁ and v₂ are initial velocities of cart A and B, respectively
v₁' and v₂' are final velocities of cart A and B, respectively
m₁ and m₂ are masses of cart A and B, respectively

(7 kg)(0 m/s) + (3 kg)(0 m/s) = (7 kg)(v₁') + (3 kg)(6 m/s)
Solving for v₁',
v₁' = -2.57 m/s

<em>Therefore, the speed of cart A is at 2.57 m/s at the direction opposite of cart B.</em>
