A 125,000 kg locomotive is traveling south at 1.0 m/s through a switching yard
5. A 125,000 kg locomotive is traveling south at 1.0 m/s through a switching yard. A connected set of parked gondola cars weighing 1,750,000 kg are directly ahead. Determine the speed and direction of the completed train after the locomotive has been coupled to the ears.

One train car of mass 50,000 kg (50 Mg) is moving 6.0 m/s to the south on a frictionless track and couples with another car of mass 20,000 kg (20 Mg). The final velocity of the now-coupled cars is 1.8 m/s to the south. Find the velocity of the second car before the coupling. (Hint: The direction is important!)

A railroad freight car weighing 28000 kg and traveling at 6.0 m/s overtakes one weighing 19000 kg and traveling at 4.0 m/s in the same direction. If the cars couple together, find (a) the speed of the cars after collision and (b) the loss of kinetic energy during collision. (c) Is this collision elastic or inelastic? Please explain the steps. Thank you!

A 110 kg running back carries the ball south at 8 m/s. A 130 kg linebacker runs to make the tackle going north at 5 m/s. In their collision, the linebacker wraps his arms around the runner and makes it an inelastic collision. How fast are they moving right after the collision (before they fall to the ground)? 3.

A 1.20 103 kg railroad car is traveling at 9.00 m/s when it bumps into and connects to a 0.45 10 raroad car that is moving down the tracks in the same direction but with a speed of 3.55 m/s. After they connect together they both continue on. A) What properties are conserved within this system: energy, momentum, both, or neither? B) What is the initial momentum and energy of the first car? C) What is the initial momentum and...

A proton, traveling with a velocity of 3.1 × 106 m/s due east, experiences a magnetic force that has a maximum magnitude of 6.6 × 10-14 N and direction of due south. What are the magnitude and direction of the magnetic field causing the force? If the field is up, then enter a number greater than zero. If the field is down, then enter a number less than zero. An α-particle has a charge of +2e and a mass of...

1. A pole is held vertically by attaching wires at a height of 13.4 m above the ground. The other end of each wire is anchored in the ground at a distance of 9.54 m from the base of the pole. The pole makes a right angle with the ground. What is the length of each wire? 2. A bug crawls 2.25 m along the base of a wall. Upon reaching a corner, the bug's direction of travel changes from...
