Question

D Question 1 1 pts wagon is rolling along a level road in a downpoor in which the raindrops are falling vertically with respect to the ground. As the wagon moves, substantial amount of water falls into it and remains there. The following questions refer to this situation. As the falling raindrops hit the wagon they exert force on the wagon, which is equalin magnitude to the force of the wagon on the drops according O The law of inertia. O Newton's third law. O Newton's second law. O Newton's first law. 1 pts Question 2 An open wagon is rolling along a level road in a downpoor in which the raindrops are falling vertically with respect to the ground. As the wagon moves, a substantial amount of water falls into it and remains there. The following questions refer to this situation. The force of the wagon on the faling drops causes the drops O to stop falling vertically and to move horizontaly at O only to stop falling vertically. O only to move horizontally with the wagon. O to come to rest.

Explanation / Answer

Q 1 . As the falling raindrops hit the wagon they exert force on the wagon,which is equal in magnitude to the force of the wagon on the drops according to Newton's Third Law.

Q 2 . The force of the wagon on the falling drops causes the drops to come to rest.

Q 3 . As the water accumulates,the speed of the wagon and water will decrease.This is due to the fact that with accumulation of water drops on wagon,the mass of the wagon system increases,thereby decreasing the speed.

Q 4 . As the water accumulates,the momentum of the wagon and water will not change.According to conservation of momentum,before and after the interaction of water drops with the wagon,the momentum of the system remains same.
