A train starts at rest in a station and accelerates at a constant 0.987 m/s2 for 182 seconds. Then the train decelerates at a co

nstant 0.321 m/s2 until it comes to a stop at the next station. Find the distance between the stations, in km.

Answer:

\displaystyle X_T=66.6\ km

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

When a body changes its speed at a constant rate, i.e. same changes take same times, then it has a constant acceleration. The acceleration can be positive or negative. In the first case, the speed increases, and in the second time, the speed lowers until it eventually stops. The equation for the speed vf at any time t is given by

\displaystyle V_f=V_o+a\ t

where a is the acceleration, and vo is the initial speed .

The train has two different types of motion. It first starts from rest and has a constant acceleration of 0.987 m/s^2 for 182 seconds. Then it brakes with a constant acceleration of -0.321 m/s^2 until it comes to a stop. We need to find the total distance traveled.

The equation for the distance is

\displaystyle X=V_o\ t+\frac{a\ t^2}{2}

Our data is

\displaystyle V_o=0,a=0.987m/s^2,\ t=182\ sec

Let's compute the first distance X1

\displaystyle X_1=0+\frac{0.987\times 182^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_1=16,346.7\ m

Now, we find the speed at the end of the first period of time

\displaystyle V_{f1}=0+0.987\times 182

\displaystyle V_{f1}=179.6\ m/s

That is the speed the train is at the moment it starts to brake. We need to compute the time needed to stop the train, that is, to make vf=0

\displaystyle V_o=179.6,a=-0.321\ m/s^2\ ,V_f=0

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}=\frac{0-179.6}{-0.321}

\displaystyle t=559.5\ sec

Computing the second distance

\displaystyle X_2=179.6\times559.5\ \frac{-0.321\times 559.5^2}{2}

\displaystyle X_2=50,243.2\ m

The total distance is

\displaystyle X_t=x_1+x_2=16,346.7+50,243.2

\displaystyle X_t=66,589.9\ m

\displaystyle \boxed{X_T=66.6\ km}

What does density have to do with heat?
joja [24]
If you take a fluid (i.e. air or water) and heat it, the portion that is heated usually expands. The same mass takes up more volume and as a consequence the heated portion becomes less dense than the portion that is<span><span> not heated.</span> </span>

Please help me solve all of them ( a, b, c and d ) thankiew !! <br> I’m also kind of in a rush
Sergio039 [100]

Answer:

a-

V= IR

9V = I ×( 12+6)

I = 9/ 18 A = 0.5 A

b

V=IR

240 = 6 A ×( 20 + R)

40 = 20 + R

R = 20 ohm

c

resultant resistance of the 2 parallel resistances= Ro

1/Ro = 1/ 5 + 1/ 20

1/Ro =( 20+5)/100

= 1/Ro = 1/4

Ro= 4 ohm

V=IR

V = 2A × ( 1+ 4 OHM)

V = 10V

d

equivalent resistance = Ro

1/Ro = 1/(2+8) + 1/(5+5)

1/Ro = 1/10 +1/10

2/10 = 1/ Ro

Ro= 10/2 = 5 ohm

V = IR

12V = I × 5Ohm

I=2.4 A
