A mine car (mass=420 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 250-kg chunk of coal has a speed of 0.85 m/s when it leaves the chute. Determine the speed of the car–coal system after the coal has come to rest in the car.
here,
the mass of car ,m1 = 420 kg
initial speed of car 1 , u1 = 0.5 m/s
the mass of chunk , m2 = 250 kg
speed of coal , u2 = 0.85 m/s
let the speed of the car–coal system after the coal has come to rest in the car be v
using conservation of momentum
m1 * u1 + m2 * u2 * cos(theta) = (m1 + m2) * v
420 * 0.5 + 250 * 0.85 * cos(25) = (420 + 250) * v
solving for v
v = 0.6 m/s
the speed of the car–coal system after the coal has come to rest in the car is 0.6 m/s

A mine car (mass = 440 kg) rolls at a speed of 0.50 m/s on a horizontal track, as the drawing shows. A 150-kg chunk of coal has a speed of 0.80 m/s when it leaves the chute. Determine the speed of the car-coal system after the coal has come to rest in the car.
Hint: Use the Law of Conservation of Energy F) A 440 kg mine rolls at a speed of 0.5 m/'s on a horizontal track as shown. A 150 kg chunk of coal with a speed of 0.8 m/s leaves a chute and lands inside the mine car. 150 kg 25.0° 0.80 m/s 440 kg0.50 m/s a) Find the velocity of the coal-car system after the coal comes to rest in the car, (7 pts) b) Prove that the collision is...
A loaded ore car has a mass of 9.50 x 102 kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine shaft by a cable connected to a winch. The shaft is inclined at 30.0° above the horizontal. The car accelerates uniformly to a speed of 2.20 m/s in 12.0 s and then continues at constant speed. (a) What power must the winch motor provide when the car is moving at constant...
An open train car, with a mass of 2030 kg, coasts along a horizontal track at the speed 2.33 m/s. The car passes under a loading chute and, as it does so, gravel falls vertically into it for 3.41 s at the rate of 425 kg/s. What is the car\'s speed after the loading is completed? Ignore rolling friction (as unrealistic as that may be).
A loaded ore car has a mass of 915 kg and rolls on rails with negligible friction. It starts from rest and is pulled up a mine shaft by a cable connected to a winch. The shaft is inclined at 26.5° above the horizontal. The car accelerates uniformly to a speed of 2.20 m/s in 12.0 s and then continues at constant speed. (a) What power must the winch motor provide when the car is moving at constant speed? W...
An unpowered railroad car of mass 200kg rolls with negligible friction on a horizontal track with a speed of 10 m/s. A 100-kg hobo drops straight down a distance of 4.0 m, from an overpass and lands in the car. How fast will the car be moving after this happens? please write on piece paper Also draw helps me to understand
1. In a shipping company distribution center, an open cart of mass 50.0 kg is rolling to the left at a speed of 5.00 m/s You can ignore friction between the cart and the floor. A 15.0-kg package slides down a chute, inclined at 37 from the horizontal and leaves the end of the chute with a speed of 3 m/s. The package lands in the cart and they roll off together. If the lower end of the chute is...
A solid uniform spherical ball of mass 2.0 kg and radius 0.50 m rolls without slipping down a ramp that makes a 15 degree angle with the horizontal. What is the center-of-mass speed (in m/s) of the ball after it rolls 0.50 m down the ramp? A) 1.8 B) 2.5 C) 4.5 D) 7.0 E) None of these
A freight car of mass 120,000 kg rolling down the track at 3 m / s collides with an identical freight car that was initially at rest. The two cars couple together and move off together. Calculate the speed of the combination of two cars.
In an amusement park, a car rolls on a track as shown below. Find the speed (in m/s) of the car at A, B, and C. Note that the work done by the rolling friction is zero since the point at which the rolling friction acts on the tires is momentarily at rest and therefore has a zero displacement. Va = ? m/s Vb = ? m/s Vc = ? m/s Thanks! v=0 84 m 74 m 37 m
