A railroad boxcar rolls on a track at 2.90 m/s toward two identical coupled boxcars, which are rolling in the same direction as the first, but at a speed of 1.20 m/s. The first reaches the second two and all couple together. The mass of each is 3.05 ✕ 104 kg.(a)What is the speed (in m/s) of the three coupled cars after the first couples with the other two? (Round your answer to at least two decimal places.)Incorrect: Your answer is incorrect. What is the momentum of the two coupled cars? What is the momentum of the first car in terms of its mass and initial speed? Note all cars are initially traveling in the same direction. Apply conservation of momentum to find the final speed. m/s(b)Find the (absolute value of the) amount of kinetic energy (in J) converted to other forms during the collision. J

Two thin 80.0- cm rods are oriented at right angles to each other. each rod has one end at the origin of the coordinates, and one of them extends along the x- axis while the other extends along the yaxis. the rod along the x- axis carries a charge of - 15.0 μ c distributed uniformly along its length, and the other rod carries 15.0 μ c uniformly over its length. find the magnitude and direction of the net electrical force that these two rods exert on an electron located at the point (40.0 cm, 40.0 cm).

Na food processing facility, a spherical container of inner radius r1 5 40 cm, outer radius r2 5 41 cm, and ther- mal conductivity k 5 1.5 w/m · k is used to store hot water and to keep it at 100°c at all times. to accomplish this, the outer surface of the container is wrapped with a 800-w electric strip heater and then insulated. the temperature of the inner surface of the container is observed to be nearly 120°c at all times. as- suming 10 percent of the heat generated in the heater is lost through the insulation, (a) express the differential equation and the boundary conditions for steady one-dimensional heat conduction through the container, (b) obtain a relation for the variation of temperature in the container material by solving the differential equation, and (c) evaluate the outer surface tempera- ture of the container. also determine how much water at 100°c this tank can supply steadily if the cold water enters at 20°c.
