Problem 15E

A 5000 kg train car, with its top open, is rolling on frictionless rails at 22.0 m/s when it starts pouring rain. A few minutes later, the car’s speed is 20.0 m/s. What mass of water has collected in the car?

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 3

We are going to find that the mass of water has been collected in the train car.

The mass of the train car \(m_{1}=5,000 \mathrm{~kg}\)

The speed of the train car before collecting water \(\mathrm{v}_{1}=22.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)

The speed of the train car after collecting water \(\mathrm{v}_{2}=20.0 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}\)
