What is the maximum distance the train can travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its cruising speed and then runs at that speed for 15 minutes?

d = vo*t + 0.5*a*(t**2)  ..........................(vo= initial speed = 0; a= acceleration; t=time, d = distance)

Vf  = vo  + a*t      (final speed, in this case it will be the cruising speed)


Since vo = 0 (starts from rest)

t = Vf/a

d = 0 + 0.5*a*((Vf/a)**2)

d =  (0.5/a)*(Vf)**2

a = 24545 miles/h2 = 10ft/s2


d1 =  (0.5/24545 miles/h2)*(120 mi/h)**2 = 0.293 miles

From cruising speed, distance traveled after 15 minutes (0.25h)

v = d/t ...................> d2 =v*t = <span>120 mi/h (0.25h)</span> = 30 miles

Maximum distance the train can travel,

D = d1 + d2 = 0.293 + 30  miles = 30.293 miles

A circular loop with radius r is rotating with constant angular velocity ω in a uniform electric field with magnitude E. The axi
inn [45]

Answer:

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t

Explanation:

The electric flux is defined as the multiple of electric field and the area that the electric field passes through, such that

\Phi_{E} = \vec{E}\vec{A}

When calculating the electric flux, the angle between the directions of electric field and the area becomes important, especially if the angle is changing with time.

The above formula can be rewritten as follows

\Phi_{E} = EA\cos(\theta)

where θ is the angle between the electric field and the area of the loop. Note that, the direction of the area of the loop is perpendicular to the plane of the loop.

If the loop is rotating with constant angular velocity ω, then the angle can be written as follows

\theta = \omega t

At t = 0, cos(0) = 1 and the electric flux through the loop is at its maximum value.

Therefore the electric flux can be written as a function of time

\Phi_{E} = E\pi r^2 \omega t
