A 5000 kg open train car is rolling on frictionless rails at 22 m/s when it starts pouring rain. A few minutes later, the car's speed is 20 m/s. What mass of water has collected in the car?
Solution: Mass of car = M1 = 5000kg.
Initial speed of car = Vi = 22m/s.
final speed of car with water = Vf =20m/s.
Let mass of car with water =M2
Since it is rolling on frictionless rails so, external force exerted on car is zero.
Hence momentum is conserve.
initial momentum = final momentum.
M1*Vi = M2*V2
5000*22 = M2*20
So, M2 = 5500kg
Hence mass of collected water = 5500 - 5000 = 500kg.

A 1190-kg flatbed train car rolls along frictionless tracks at a speed of 0.132 m/s. A 62.2-kg man stands on the flatbed and, in order to stop the car, runs to the edge and jumps off. 0.132 m/s If the car's final velocity is zero, what is the final speed v of the man? m/s
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 280-kg flatcar 22 m long is moving with a speed of 6.0 m/s along horizontal frictionless rails. A 95-kg worker starts walking from one end of the car to the other in the direction of motion, with speed 2.5 m/s with respect to the car. In the time it takes for him to reach the other end, how far has the flatcar moved?
Suppose that while a mining cart is rolling along a straight, frictionless, horizontal track with some initial speed, it starts to rain. If the rain falls vertically into the cart and begins to accumulate within it, flooding the cart, determine the following 19. is the momentum of the system conserved in the horizontal direction? a. Yes b. No 20. Is the momentum of the system conserved in the vertical direction? a. Yes b. No 22.If a 1200 kg train car...
The rolling resistance of steel is typically mu_r = .002. If a train weighing 160,000 kg is rolling at 12m/s and the engineer turns off the engine to let the train cruise to a stop, how much time will it take to come to a stop? How far will the train move during this time? What is the drag force on a 1.5 m wide, 1.8 m high car traveling at 20 m/s? A 22 cm diameter bowling ball has...
