I don't think that 4m has anything to do with the problem.
anyway. here.
A___________________B_______C
where A is the point that the train was released.
B is where the wheel started to stick
C is where it stopped
From A to B, v=2.5m/s, it takes 2s to go A to B so t=2
AB= v*t = 2.5 * 2 = 5m
The train comes to a stop 7.7 m from the point at which it was released so AC=7.7m
then BC= AC-AB = 7.7-5 = 2.7m
now consider BC
v^2=u^2+2as
where u is initial speed, in this case is 2.5m/s
v is final speed, train stop at C so final speed=0, so v=0
a is acceleration
s is displacement, which is BC=2.7m
substitute all the number into equation, we have
0^2 = 2.5^2 + 2*a*2.7
0 = 6.25 + 5.4a
a = -6.25/5.4 = -1.157
so acceleration is -1.157m/(s^2)
One scientist proposes an idea and other scientists repeat his or her experiments so they can Accept the Idea.
Answer:
The angle of incidence when the reflected ray is perpendicular to the incident ray = 45°
Explanation:
According to Snell's Law,
n₁ sin θ₁ = n₂ sin θ₂
When the angle between the incident ray and reflected ray is 90°, the angle of incidence is θ₁ and the angle of reflection, θ₂ = 90° - θ₁ and the index of refraction in the Snell's Law for both media would be the same, n₁ = n₂ = n
n sin θ₁ = n sin (90° - θ₁)
Note that from trigonometric relations,
Sin (90° - θ₁) = cos θ₁
n sin θ₁ = n cos θ₁
(sin θ₁)/(cos θ₁) = 1
tan θ₁ = 1
θ₁ = arctan 1 = 45°
Hope this Helps!!!
Answer:
(a) v = 3..6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
Explanation:
from the question we have the following:
mass of the car (Mc) = 24,000 kg
initial velocity of the car (u) = 4 m/s
mass of water (Mw) = 3000 kg
final velocity of the car (v) = ?
(a) we can calculate the final momentum of the car by applying the conservation of momentum where
initial momentum = final momentum
Mc x U = (Mc + Mw) x V
24000 x 4 = (24000 + 3000) x v
96,000 = 27000v
v =3.6 m/s
(b) The rain falling downward has been able to affect the horizontal motion of the car by reducing it's velocity from 4 m/s to 3.6 m/s.
