Concept explainers

Centripetal Force

A particle, body, object or certain mass while travelling in a rotational path or semicircular path, experiences an inertia force. If that inertia force pulls the towards the inward of the imaginary circle in the rotation, it is termed as centripetal force.

On September 15, 1896 in near Waco, Texas, William George Crush parked two locomotives at opposite ends of a 6.4-km-long track, fired them up, tied their throttles open, and then allowed them to crash head-on at full speed (as seen above) in front of 40,000 spectators (more people than lived in the state’s second-largest city at the time). Hundreds of people were hurt by flying debris; several were killed. Assuming each locomotive weighed 1.2×106N and its acceleration was a constant 0.26 m/s2, what was the total kinetic energy of the two locomotives just before the collision?
