I am pretty sure it is B....
Answer:
a. P.E = 3430Joules.
b. Workdone = 3430Nm
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass = 70kg
Distance = 5m
We know that acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.8m/s²
To find the potential energy;
Potential energy = mgh
P.E = 70*9.8*5
<em>P.E = 3430J</em>
b. To find the workdone;
Workdone = force * distance
But force = mass * acceleration
Force = 70*9.8
Force = 686 Newton.
Workdone = 686 * 5
<em>Workdone = 3430Nm</em>
Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2
Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.
We have for the car
distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s
the v car = distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s
In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest
distance train = (a* t^2)/2
distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed
so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m
the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2
