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

Assuming motion is on a straight path, what would result in two positive components of a vector?
erastovalidia [21]
Assuming motion is on a straight path, the result of two positive components of a vector would also be a positive value since both are having positive signs and directions. The direction would be the same with the motion as well. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.

Dinosaurs’ skeletons can be distinguished from those of other reptiles by the structure of the hips and legs.
jeyben [28]
True, they had a hole in their hip socket that allowed them to run faster than other reptiles of their size at the time. As well as most reptiles besides reptiles had legs to the side, rather than under them like dinosaurs did.

Hope this helps!

3. Si usted duplicara la amplitud de un M.A.S. ¿cómo cambiaría la frecuencia, velocidad máxima, la aceleración máxima y la energ
WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

la frecuencia = ω/2π, nada cambio

v(max) = ωA → ω2Α = 2ωA  duplicara velocidad máxima

a(max) = ω²Α → ω²2Α = 2ω²Α duplicara la aceleración máxima

la energía total ½kA² → ½k(2Α)² = 4(½kA²) cuatro veces la energía

A small metal bead, labeled A, has a charge of 28 nC .It is touched to metal bead B, initially neutral, so that the two beads sh
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Let the charge on bead A be q nC  and the charge on bead B be 28nC - qnC

Force F between them

4.8\times10^{-4} = \frac{9\times10^9\times q\times(28-q)\times10^{-18}}{(5\times10^{-2})^2}

=120 x 10⁻⁸ = 9 x q(28 - q ) x 10⁻⁹

133.33 = 28q - q²

q²- 28q +133.33 = 0

It is a quadratic equation , which has two solution

q_A = 21.91 x 10⁻⁹C or q_B = 6.09 x 10⁻⁹ C

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

(A) 11 m/s

(B) 1.3 m

Explanation:

Horizontal range, R = 9.6 m

Angle of projection, theta = 28 degree

(A)

Use the formula of horizontal range

R = u^2 Sin 2 theta / g

u^2 = R g / Sin 2 theta

u^2 = 9.6 × 9.8 / Sin ( 2 × 28)

u = 10.65 m/s

u = 11 m/s

(B)

Use the formula for maximum height

H = u^2 Sin ^2 theta / 2g

H =

10.65 × 10.65 × Sin^2 (28) / ( 2 × 9.8)

H = 1.275 m

H = 1 .3 m
