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.

A student connects an object with mass m to a rope with a length r and then rotates the rope around her head parallel to the gro
Alexandra [31]

The object takes 0.5 seconds to complete one rotation, so its rotational speed is 1/0.5 rot/s = 2 rot/s.

Convert this to linear speed; for each rotation, the object travels a distance equal to the circumference of its path, or 2<em>π</em> (1.2 m) = 2.4<em>π</em> m ≈ 7.5 m, so that

2 rot/s = (2 rot/s) • (2.4<em>π</em> m/rot) = 4.8<em>π</em> m/s ≈ 15 m/s

thus giving it a centripetal acceleration of

<em>a</em> = (4.8<em>π</em> m/s)² / (1.2 m) ≈ 190 m/s².

Then the tension in the rope is

<em>T</em> = (50 kg) <em>a</em> ≈ 9500 N.

The diagram shows a ballistic pendulum. A 200 g bullet is fired into the suspended 4 kg block of wood and remains embedded insid
adoni [48]

Question

What was the initial momentum of the bullet before collision?

Answer:

10 Kg.m/s

Explanation:

Momentum is a product of velocity of an object in m/s and its mass in kgs hence numerically expressed as p=mv where p is momentum, v is velocity and m is mass. Substituting m for 0.2 kg and v for 50 m/s then p=0.2*50=10 kg.m/s

How does the sun transmit energy from millions of miles away into the Earth system? 'Energy' and 'power' are often confused, but
Leona [35]

Answer:

  • Energy from sun travels to the earth by radiation of waves.
  • Energy is the capacity to do the work whereas power is the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer.
  • Energy always transforms from higher grade to a lower grade.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.

Explanation:

The energy from the sun travels a huge distance in vacuum and atmosphere.

  • The solar energy travels to the earth in the form of electromagnetic radiations which do not require any medium of transmission and are capable of travelling in vacuum by the mode called radiation. In this mode the packets of energy get directly transmitted from the source to its surroundings. This packet of energy is called quanta.
  • Energy is the capacity to do work. Everything that we see and feel around us is some sort of energy. Every matter is the condensed form of energy the other forms that we cannot touch or feel is the wave form of energy. The wave form of energy stays in two form either stored in a mass or it is in transition. Now the concept of power arises form the energy in motion, power is defined as the rate of doing work or the rate of energy transfer. We usually use the term power for the energy in motion.
  • We can burn a gallon of fuel only once because it undergoes a chemical change and the chemical changes are mostly permanent in nature. There is a certain direction to which the energy can  flow spontaneously. When we burn the fuel then the stored chemical energy of the fuel gets converted into heat and light and the heat energy released during the combustion of the fuel is sufficient to further provide the heat of combustion of fuel.
  • Energy always transforms from high grade to the lower grade and the converse is not possible spontaneously.

Positive feedback are not good when it disturbs the stability too much over a wide range.

No, negative feedback are not always bad because they enhance the stability of our system, resist the change in a system making it consistent and have a narrower range of variation.
