QUESTION 23 On a level track, railroad car A rolls with velocity 0.10 m/s i and...
Required information In the railroad freight yard, an empty freight car of mass m rolls along a straight level track at 1.20 m/s and collides with an initially stationary, fully loaded boxcar of mass 5.70m. The two cars couple together on collision. What is the speed of the two cars after the collision? m/s
A railroad tank car rolls on a track at 3.45 m/s toward two identical coupled tank cars, which are rolling in the same direction as the first, but at a speed of 1.20 m/s. The first reaches the second two and all couple together. The mass of each is 2.10 ✕ 104 kg. (a) What is the speed (in m/s) of the three coupled cars after the first couples with the other two? (Round your answer to at least two...
A 12,000 kg railroad car, initially traveling at 1.6 m/s, strikes three identical and connected railroad cars, initially at rest. The track is horizontal and frictionless. After the collision, all four cars move together at the same velocity. A.) Determine the final speed of the cars. (0.4 m/s). B.) Assuming the collision took 1.5 seconds, calculate the average force of collision. C.) How much non-conservative work was done during the collision? (-11500 J)
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!
Two railway cars are on a straight railroad track. The first, with mass 8000 kg, moves slowly at a velocity of 0.05 m/s to the right in the direction of the second car of mass 15000 kg, which is stationary. (a) What is the total momentum (relative to the ground) of both cars together? kg m/s They collide and stick to each other. What is the total momentum right after the collision? For the short times involved, you can take...
1. A 12,000 kg railroad car, intially traveling at 1.6 m/s, strikes three identical and connected railroad cars, initially at rest. The track is horizontal and frictionless. After the collision, all four cars move together at the same velocity. A. Determine the final speed of the cars. (0.4 m/s). B. Assuming the collision took 1.5 seconds, calculate the average force of collision. C. How much non-conservative work was done during the collision? (-11500 J)
A railroad car with a mass of 13000 kg collides and couple with a second car of mass 20,000kg that is initially at rest. the first car is moving with a speed of 3.5 m/s prior to the collision. a) what is the initial momentum of the first car ? b) if external forces can be ignored, what is the final velocity of the two railroad cars after they couple.
A railroad car (car-A) of mass 3.5X105 kg is traveling at a speed of 0.46 m/s and strikes another car (car-B) of mass 8.9X104 kg, which is moving towards car-A with speed 0.25 m/s. If these cars lock together as a result of the collision, what is the common speed (in m/s) after the collision? (a) Before collision (b) After collision 0.2023 1.56 0.316 0.017
A railroad car with a mass of 1.95 ✕ 104 kg moving at 2.88 m/s joins with two railroad cars already joined together, each with the same mass as the single car and initially moving in the same direction at 1.56 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three joined cars after the collision? m/s (b) What is the decrease in kinetic energy during the collision? J
