Answer:443.1 s

Explanation:

Given

Engine of a locomotive exerts a force of 8.1\times 10^5 N

Mass of train=1.9\times 10^7

Final speed (v)=68 km/h \approx 18.88 m/s

F=ma

so acceleration(a) =\frac{F}{m}=\frac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}

a=0.042631 m/s^2

and acceleration is

a=\frac{v-u}{t}

0.042631=\frac{18.88-0}{t}

t=443.089 \approx 443.1 s

Explanation:

It is given that,

Force acting on the engine, F=8.1\times 10^5\ N

Initial speed of the engine, u = 0 (at rest)

Final speed of the engine, v = 68 km/h = 18.88 m/s

Mass of the train, m=1.9\times 10^7\ kg

We need to find the time taken by the train. Firstly, we will find the acceleration of the engine from Newton's second law of motion as :

a=\dfrac{F}{m}

a=\dfrac{8.1\times 10^5}{1.9\times 10^7}

a=0.042\ m/s^2

Now using first equation of motion to find time taken as :

v=u+at

t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}

t=\dfrac{18.88-0}{0.042}

t = 449.52 seconds

or

t = 7.49 minutes

So, the time taken for the train to reach this speed is 7.49 minutes. Hence, this is the required solution.

Read through the and calculate the predicted change in kinetic energy of the oblect compared to 50 kg ball traveling at 10 m/s .
Sliva [168]

Answer:

A 50 kg ball traveling at 20 m/s would have 4 times more kinetic energy.

A 50 kg ball traveling at 5 m/s would have 4 times less kinetic energy.

A 50 kg person falling at 10 m/s would have the same kinetic energy.

If a neutral metal comb is held near an object with a negative charge, the Como become charged by
LenKa [72]
The local charging of the comb is due to induction. The negative object's charge pushes electrons in the comb away from the side close to the charged object causing that part to be positively charged. Note that the comb's net charge is still zero provided it doesn't touch the object. When you move the comb away its electrons will redistribute.

What relationship do you see between a star colour and temperature
Andrei [34K]

Answer:

Stars emit colors of many different wavelengths, but the wavelength of light where a star's emission is concentrated is related to the star's temperature - the hotter the star, the more blue it is; the cooler the star, the more red it is
