Answer:
Energy and matter are contained within a closed system.
Answer:
2.5 kg
Explanation:
We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:
where
F is the net force acting on the train
m is the mass of the train
a is the acceleration
For the toy train in the problem,
F = 3.0 N
a = 1.2 m/s^2
So we can solve the formula for m, to find the mass of the train:
That's true.
Most of the people who go to Olympic events are mature,
rational, sensible, civilized, mentally balanced people, who
are capable of functioning as members of the human race.
But not all of them.
(a) The distance will be more than 2.0 meters.
In fact, you starts your fall after your friend has already fallen 2.0 meters. This means that your friend has already accelerated for a while, therefore his velocity will be greater than yours. But this statement will be actually true for the entire fall, since you has some delay, therefore when your friend will hit the water, the separation between you and him will be greater than the initial separation of 2.0 meters.
b) First of all we need to calculate the height of the bridge with respect to the water. We know that you take 1.6 s to fall down, therefore we can use the following equation:
We know that your friend will take 1.6 s to falls down. Instead, you start your jump after he has already fallen 2.0 m, therefore after a time given by the equation:
Using S=2.0 m,
So we know that you start your fall 0.64 s after your friend. Therefore, now we can find how much did you fall between the moment you started your fall (0.64 s) and the moment your friend hits the water (1.6 s). Using
we find
So, when your friend hits the water, you just covered 4.52 m, while he already covered 12.56 m. Therefore, the separation between you and your friend is more than 2 meters.
