Question 8
An open box-car has a mass of 30,000 kg and is moving on a level railroad track at 4.00 m/s. 1,000 kg of water falls straight down into the box-car. The velocity of the box-car after the water falls into the box-car is

velocity=
Box car mass after the water falls on it =
, let
the velocity be 
Due to momentum conservation,

Need help asap. And I only have one attempt left
An open railroad car of mass 2402 kg is coasting with an initial speed of 19 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 9 m/s. How much water (in kilograms) has accumulated in the car? 2668.8 kg Consider the collision between two hockey pucks in the...
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
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 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 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
a 0.199 kg snowball moving west makes an inelastic collision with a 2.89 kg box moving 0.523 m/s west. after ward, they move west at 1.92 m/s. what was the initial velocity of the snowball
A railroad car of mass 3.25e4 kg is moving at 3.25 m/s collides and couples with two couples railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20m/s. A) what is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? B) how much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A railroad car of mass 3.10 ✕ 104 kg moving at 3.40 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A railroad car of mass 3.15 ✕ 104 kg moving at 2.75 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision?
A railroad car of mass 2.95 ✕ 104 kg moving at 3.10 m/s collides and couples with two coupled railroad cars, each of the same mass as the single car and moving in the same direction at 1.20 m/s. (a) What is the speed of the three coupled cars after the collision? m/s (b) How much kinetic energy is lost in the collision? J
