How much water has accumulated in the car

Reference no: EM13656322

An open railroad car of mass 2404 kg is coasting with an initial speed of 18 m/s on a frictionless, horizontal track. It is raining, and water begins to accumulate in the car. After some time, it is found that the speed of the car is only 10 m/s. How much water (in kilograms) has accumulated in the car?

What is the magnitude of the torque acting on the cylinder : A uniform cylinder whose mass is 50 kg and radius is 0.20 m is mounted so that it turns without friction on its axis, which is fixed. The cylinder is driven by a belt that wraps around its perimeter and exerts a constant torque. At t = 0, the cyli..

Find its speed when it strikes the anode : A vacuum diode consists of a cylindrical cathode of radius 0.05cm, mounted coaxially within a cylindrical anode 0.45 cm in radius. The potential of the anode is 300 V higher than that of the cathode. An electron leaves the surface of the cathode w..

Diverging lens with focal length- left of converging lens : A diverging lens with a focal length of -14 cm is placed 10 cm to the right of a converging lens with a focal length of 18 cm. An object is placed 32 cm to the left of the converging lens.

Angular velocity of the weather vane just after it is struck : A weather vane initially at rest has a moment of inertia of 0.125 kg · m2 about its axis of rotation. A 63.5 g piece of clay is thrown at the vane and sticks to it at a point 15.5 cm from the axis.

Calculate the escape speed from the surface of ceres : Ceres, the smallest identified dwarf planet in the Solar System, has a radius R = 480 km and an acceleration due to gravity on its surface of magnitude g = 0.27 m/s2. Use these numbers to calculate the escape speed from the surface of Ceres.

Direction of the impulse imparted by the floor to the ball : A rubber ball (mass 0.27 kg) is dropped from a height of 1.8 m onto the floor. Just after bouncing from the floor, the ball has a speed of 3.8 m/s. What is the magnitude and direction of the impulse imparted by the floor to the ball?

What is the cars translational kinetic and rotational energy : A car with a total mass of 1.92*10^3 kg has wheels of radius 31.0 cm and moment of inertia 0.830 kg · m2. What is the car's translational kinetic and rotational energy when the car is moving at a speed of 24.0 m/s?

What is radius of geostationary orbit for this neutron star : The weight of a star is usually balanced by two forces: the gravitational force, acting inward, and the force created by nuclear reaction, acting outward. Over a long period of time, the force due to nuclear reactions gets weaker, causing the grav..
