The initial momentum of the railroad car is 120,000 kgm/s (20,000 kg * 6 m/s). When the 8000 kg load of gravel is dropped in, the total momentum is conserved. Therefore, the final speed of the railroad car can be calculated by dividing the total momentum (120,000 kgm/s) by the new total mass (28,000 kg). This gives a final speed of 4.29 m/s.
You mine gravel, sometimes flint is dropped when you break a block of gravel.
The gravel under and around the ties is called ballast.
Flint is sometimes dropped when you mine gravel.
Steel rails laid and pinned down on ties embedded in gravel so that trains may run on them.
The "gravel" under the railroad ties is called Ballast and forms the railbed itself. The reason that you dont see ballast under some railsets is because the railroad company has deferring the maintenance on the railbed and grass and vegaetation has grown in between the railroad ties and hides the ballast. A railroad company must spray vegetation killer to maintain the railbed properly. Some railroad companies,usually because of lack-of-money put off maintaining the railbed until the vegetaion has completely obscured the ballast.
the sand, gravel, boulders, or other debris transported by rolling or sliding along the bot-tom of a stream.
Known as ballast, it provides a stable surface for the ties, holds them in place and allows water to run off.
Using 700c wheels on a gravel bike offers advantages such as better rolling efficiency, smoother ride over rough terrain, and compatibility with a wide range of tire options for various riding conditions.
Tubeless tires on a gravel bike offer benefits such as reduced risk of flats, improved traction, lower rolling resistance, and the ability to run lower tire pressures for a smoother ride over rough terrain.

A Ghandi Dancer was the name given to a railroad laborer who "tamped" ties during installation of a railroad. To "tamp" ties, the worker used a special flat-nosed shovel and packed the ballast (often gravel) tightly under and around the railroad ties. His continuous up and down motion made him look like a dancer.
