Pls I need help I would mark you as the brainliest answer! A train starting from rest attains a velocity 72 km / h in 5 minutes.

Assuming that the acceleration is uniform, find the acceleration.

Here's all the Physics you have to know
in order to answer this question:

==>   Acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change)

That's it.  Now let's work on it with the numbers from the train.

Change in speed = (speed at the end) - (speed at the beginning)

For the train, speed at the beginning is zero, so the change is 72 km/h .

Time for the change = 5 minutes.

Acceleration = (72 km/hr) / (5 minutes)

Acceleration = 14.4 km per hour per minute .

That answer is 100% true and correct, but it has a weird,
awkward unit.
Anybody you show it to would probably want to see it with
a more familiar unit, like "meters per second per second"
like the unit that we use for the acceleration of gravity.
It's pretty easy to change units, and it doesn't even take 
any Physics.  All it takes is Arithmetic.

So far, we have  Acceleration = 14.4 km/hr·minute

Multiply that by (1000 meter/km)
Then multiply it by (1 hour/60 minutes).
Then multiply it by (1 minute/60 seconds)².
All of these fractions are equal to ' 1 ', because each top number
is equal to each bottom number.  So they won't change the VALUE
of the answer.  They'll just change the units.

(14.4km/hr·minute)·(1000m/km)·(1 hour/60minutes)·(1 minute/60seconds)²

= (14.4·1000 / 60·60·60) · (km·meter·hr·min·min / hr·min·km·min·sec·sec) 

= 0.0667 meter/second²

With similar methods, it could be changed to other units:

-- 6.67 centimeter/second²
-- 66.7 millimeter/second²
-- 240 meter/minute²
-- 864 km/hour²

These are all THE SAME NUMBER, only with different units.

Answer: a. air pollution

c. hazardous wastes

d. potential reactor accident

e. water pollution

A nuclear energy is produced in a thermal power plant. A nuclear energy is produced in a nuclear reactor. In nuclear reactor nuclear fission reactions takes place in which an atoms absorbs energy from radiations and undergo fission and produces energy in the form of high intensity radiations along with heat. Although the fission reactions takes place in a nuclear reactor in a controlled way so that the radiation may not leak out from the reactor. The accidentally leak out radiations or explosion or bursting of the reactor due to uncontrolled thermal energy production can result in air pollution as the leak out air will cause bursting effects which will contaminate the air.

The nuclear waste are radioactive and are non-biodegradable these wastes are disposed off deep in geospheres and in water. They have potential to contaminate both land and water. Radioactive wastes can cause mutations in the genome of the organisms exposed to these wastes which generate deadly diseases and disorders.  Therefore, these wastes are hazardous.

Why we don’t feel atmospheric pressure?
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

The reason we can't feel it is that the air within our bodies (in our lungs and stomachs, for example) is exerting the same pressure outwards, so there's no pressure difference and no need for us to exert any effort.

A see-saw is balanced on a pivot with two children on it. One child is sitting 1.5 m to the left of the pivot and has a mass of
Lorico [155]

Answer:

Explanation:

Remark

This is a second class lever. It is much more efficient than the fishing pole problem. All distances are measured from the pivot in these kinds of questions.

Givens

d1 = 1.5

d2 = ?

m1 = 50 kg

m2 = 30 kg

The lighter child will have to sit further away from the pivot to make the two conditions equal.

Formula

d1*m1 = d2*m2

1.5*50 = d2 * 30

75 = 30 * d2

75/30 = d2

d2 = 2.5

Remark

Notice that the distance is longer for the lighter child. The fact that these are masses and not forces does not matter, but you should take note of it. There is a difference between masses and forces. See the fishing pole problem.

Answer to the multiple Choice question. No motion on this kind of problem means equal moments. The answer is D

Problem 2

1) The wheels are further apart making B more stable. The wider the distance the wheels are apart, the harder it would be to tip the concrete mixer over

2) The center of gravity is lower. The higher the force is the more chance you have of exerting an external force to tip the mixer over.

Match the following vocabulary words with their definitions:
Ronch [10]

Correct matching:


1 acceleration --> rate of change in velocity, which is the change in velocity divided by the change in time

2. speed --> the rate at which an object changes position when traveling in a certain direction

4. gravity --> force of attraction between all masses in the universe

5. Inertia --> an object´s resistance to a change in motion

3. friction --> force of resistance acting between objects in contact and tending to dampen their motion

6. velocity --> the rate at which an object changes position
