One railroad car rolls toward another Describe the properties of the first car that determine its momentum and how it would impart an impulse to the second car?
General405
(newtons first law)
conservation of momentum law states :
momentum before collision = momentum after collision
momentum p (kg-m/s)= mass * velocity
say moving car=1 000 kg, velocity = 10 m/s then p = 1 000*10= 10 000 kg-m/s
say still car = 2 000 kg, velocity = 0 m/s then p = 2 000* 0 = 0 kg-m/s
total momentum prior to collision = 10 000 + 0 = 10 000 kg-m/s
momentum after collision = 10 000 kg-m/s
mass now = 1 000 kg+2 000 kg = 3 000 kg
10 000 = 3 000 kg* velocity m/s
10 000/3 000 = velocity
3.33 m/s = velocity after collision
an impulse is a force applied over time , momentum is exclusive of external forces and a perfect collision is implied

What is the velocity of a 9000 kg railroad car and a 5000 kg railroad car when the first car was traveling at 3 m per s?
Momentum is mass multiplied by velocity. The formula for momentum is: p (momentum)= m (kg ) x v (meters/second). So in this case, the mass is 9000 kg and the velocity is 3 m/s, so its momentum is 27000 kg-m/s, or N-s.
What unit would you use to describe the weight of a railroad car?
The most adequate unit is the metric tonne.This unit is equal to 1 000 kg.
What does b and o stand for in b and o railroad?

What is 39 degrees north 108.5 degrees west?
It's a pair of angles which, if interpreted as latitude/longitude, describe the location of a point on the Earth's surface. Those specific numbers describe a point in the western US, along the railroad that follows the Gunnison River in western Colorado, about 1.66 miles south of US-50 at the intersection of Whitehead Dr and Frontage Rd, and about 6.3 miles southeast of the center of Grand Junction.

How do you use the railroad pieces in monopoly city?
To use railroad pieces in monopoly you have to have either landed on something that says that you have to build a railroad or when you click the build button you have to build a railroad. Railroads are free. You put them on any owned property. If you land on a property with a railroad on it then you can jump to another property with a railroad on it. This helps you avoid having to pay rent and it also counts for your GO money if you pass GO while you are jumping from railroad to railroad. You can jump from railroad A to railroad B to railroad C. What I said in my last sentence is that you can jump multiple times in one turn. My advice for you is to build a hotel on one of your properties and then also have a railroad on it, so people can jump to your property to get away from properties like Diamond Hills. You can only put railroads on properties that are owned and you can not put railroads on properties that you cannot buy. I hope this answered your question!
