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.

For a 50 kV anode voltage, what is the maximum photon energy of the x-ray radiation?
V125BC [204]

Answer:

The energy of photon, E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

Explanation:

It is given that,

Voltage of anode, V=50\ kV=50\times 10^3\ V=5\times 10^4\ V

We need to find the maximum energy of the photon of the x- ray radiation. The energy required to raise an electron through one volt is called electron volt.

E=eV

e is charge of electron

E=1.6\times 10^{-19}\times 5\times 10^4

E=8\times 10^{-15}\ J

So, the maximum energy of the x- ray radiation is 8\times 10^{-15}\ J. Hence, this is the required solution.

In a closed system, a cart with a mass of 1.5 kg is rolling to the right at 1.4 m/s, while another cart of mass 1.0 kg is rollin
bija089 [108]

Answer: The correct option is (c.).

Explanation:

Mass of the cart A= 1.5 kg

Velocity of Cart A = 1.4 m/s towards right

Mass of the cart B = 1.0 kg

Velocity of Cart B = 1.4 m/s towards left

Momentum (P)= Mass × Velocity

P_A=1.5 kg\times 1.4 m/s=2.1 kg m/s

P_B=1.0 kg\times (-1.4m/s)=-1.4 kg m/s

(Negative sign means velocity of the cart is in opposite direction of that of the cart A)

Total Momentum =P_A+P_B=2.10 kg m/s-1.40 kg m/s=0.70 kg m/s

Hence, the correct option is (c.).

A block of mass 10.0 kg is pulled to the right along a rough horizontal surface with a constant horizontal force of 20.0 N. The
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

the magnitude of acceleration will be 1.50m/s^2

Explanation:

To calculate your acceleration, you can use your formula that states that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. Fnet=ma

if you draw out this situation and label the forces you will have your vector towards the right with a magnitude of 20.0N and then your friction vector will be pointing to the left (in other words, in the negative direction) (opposing the direction of movement) with a magnitude of 5.00N, with the 10.0 kg box in the middle.

The net force will be calculated using F1+F2=Fnet where your F1=20.0N and F2= -5.00N (since it is towards the negative direction).

you will find that Fnet=15.0N

With that, plug in the values you know to calculate the acceleration of the block:

Fnet=ma

(15.0N)=(10.0kg)a    from her you can divide both sides by 10 to isolate a:

1.50=a  (and now make sure to label the units of your answer)

a=1.50m/s^2 (which is the typical unit for acceleration)
