- In order to avoid the extra energy and time required in starting and stopping, whenever possible trains are loaded through a vertical chute which drops heavy loads directly into the moving train car beneath. The modern average locomotive and a single empty train car have a mass of approximately 23000 kg. If the train passes beneath shoot with a velocity of 6 meters per second when a 5200 kg load of gravel and stone is dropped into the empty train car beneath determine b) the final velocity of the train after the load has been delivered. 5 pts Question 15arrow_forwardQ2. As shown in the image below, the freight cars A and B are approaching each other, and they have a mass of mA = 23 Mg and mg = 14 Mg, respectively. The directions of their initial velocities are shown in the image, and the speeds are VA,1 4.3 m/s and v³,1 = 2.9 m/s. Determine the velocity of A after collision if the cars collide and rebound, such that B moves to the right with a speed of 1.8 m/s. Right is considered the positive direction and negative sign must be included if A moves to the left after the collision. Please pay attention: the numbers may change since they are randomized. Your answer must include 3 places after the decimal point, and proper Sl unit.

At the same time another car having a mass of 12000 kg is coasting at 0.75 m/s in the opposite direction. If the cars meet and couple together, determine the speed of both cars just after the coupling.arrow_forward
