A train, A, with a mass of 19,000 kg is travelling at 90 km/h when it strikes a second train, B, which has a mass of 17,000 kg and is moving in the same direction at a speed of 43.2 km/h. If the coefficient of restitution for the collision is 0.87 and all resistances to motion are negligible, then

(i) calculate the speed of the trains A and B immediately after the impact.

(ii) as a result of damage during the collision trains A and B have a constant friction resistance to the motion of 14,500 N. Calculate the distance that the train B will move before coming to rest.

A container with mass m kg is dropped by a helicopter from height h km at time t=0, with zero velocity. from the outset, its fall is controlled by gravity and the force of air resitance, f(v)= -kv, where v is the current velocity of the container. in t seconds after the drop, a parachute opens, resulting in an increase of air resistance up to f(v) = -kv. determine the time t at which the container touches the ground. and...

A train, travelling with velocity v = 0.8c, enters a tunnel. The train has proper length 100m and the tunnel has proper length 80m. When the center of the train coincides with the center of the tunnel, two gates located at either end of the tunnel come crashing down. The three events (the center of the train reaching the center of the tunnel, the front gate closing and the rear gate closing) occur simultaneously in the stationary reference frame. a)...
