Three identical train cars, coupled together, are rolling east at speed v0v0. A fourth car traveling east at 2v0v0 catches up with the three and couples to make a four-car train. A moment later, the train cars hit a fifth car that was at rest on the tracks, and it couples to make a five-car train.What is the speed of the five-car train?
An object at rest is acted by a 8.0N force for 0.40s. After this time interval, the object has a final speed of 8.0 m/s. How much time is needed for a 4.0N force to produce the same speed?
Gayle runs at a speed of 4.00 m/s and dives on a sled, initiallyat rest on the top of a frictionless, snow- covered hill. After shehas descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, whois initially at rest, hops on her back, and they continue downthe hill together. What is their speed at the bottom of the hillif the total vertical drop is 15.0 m? Gayle’s mass is 50.0 kg,the sled has a mass of 5.00 kg, and her brother has a mass of30.0 kg.
A skier starts at rest atop a ski slope that has a slope of exactly 37.0∘.37.0∘. Her total mass is 73.0 kg.73.0 kg. Approximating the slope to be frictionless and assuming that the skier skis straight down the slope, what will her speed ?v be after 8.00 s?
You are playing a game and you push a cart to give it in. speed. The cart starts at the bottom (zero) of a ramp and after reaching the top of the ramp, the cart travels across a horizontal track w/ friction. The mass of the cart is 44 x 10^-3 kg. The ramp is 56 cm high. The length is 70 cm. What can you infer of the intial speed in (m/s)
An atomic nucleus at rest decays radioactively into a smaller nucleus and an alpha particle (i.e. a helium nucleus). The alpha particle is leaving the original nucleus at a speed of 2.5 × 105m/s. Will the smaller nucleus remain at rest or will it move as well? Explain.
Gayle runs at a speed of 3.20 m/s and dives on a sled, initially at rest on the top of a frictionless snow-covered hill. After she has descended a vertical distance of 5.00 m, her brother, who is initially at rest, hops on her back and together they continue down the hill. What is their speed at the bottom of the hill if the total vertical drop is med ocum 15.0 m? Gayle's mass is 49.5 kg, the sled has a mass of 5.45 kg and her brother has a mass of 30.0 kg. m/s Need Help? Read It gy
