A railroad car (with a mass of 3250 kg) moves at 8.1 m/s . It collides with and couples to another car that was initially at rest. After the collision, the two cars move together at a speed of 4.50 m/s. What is the mass of the second car?

m_2 = 2600kg

Explanation:

P_1 = P_2

P = (m_1)*(v_1)+(m_2)(v_2)

P_1 = (3250kg)(8.1m/s)+(m_2)(0m/s)

P_1 = 26,325 kg*m/s

P_2 = (3250kg)(4.5m/s)+(m_2)(4.5m/s)

P_2 = 14,625kg*m/s+(4.5m/s)m_2

26,325 kg*m/s = 14,625kg*m/s+(4.5m/s)m_2

11,700kg*m/s = (4.5m/s)m_2

m_2 = 2600kg

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..

the device is called “ rocket engine”
