The train accelerates at the rate of 20 for some time, until it's just exactly
time to put on the brakes, decelerate at the rate of 100, and come to a
screeching stop after a total distance of exactly 2.7 km.

The speed it reaches while accelerating is exactly the speed it starts decelerating from.

Speed reached while accelerating = (acceleration-1) (Time-1) = .2 time-1

Speed started from to slow down = (acceleration-2) (Time-2) = 1 time-2  

The speeds are equal.
.2 time-1 = 1 time-2
time-1 = 5 x time-2

It spends 5 times as long speeding up as it spends slowing down.

The distance it covers speeding up = 1/2 A (5T)-squared
= 0.1 x 25 T-squared = 2.5 T-squared.

The distance it covers slowing down = 1/2 A (T-squared)
= 0.5 T-squared.

Total distance = 2,700 meters.
(2.5 + .5) T-squared = 2,700
T-squared = 2700/3 = 900

T = 30 seconds

The train speeds up for 150 seconds, reaching a speed of 30 meters per sec
and covering 2,250 meters. 
It then slows down for 30 seconds, covering 450 meters.

Total time = <u>180 sec</u> = 3 minutes, minimum.

Observation:
This solution is worth more than 5 points.

This can be done by hit and trial easily.

Considering train accelerate for 13000s and deaccelerate for 1000s
so total distance covered is = 20cm/s * 13000s + 100cm/s*100s
= (260000 + 10000 )cm
= 270000cm
= 2.7km

So total time taken is - 13100 seconds

Two blocks with masses 1 and 2 are connected by a massless string that passes over a massless pulley as shown. 1 has a mass of 2
Bess [88]

Answer:

The acceleration of M_2 is  a =  0.7156 m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

    The mass of first block is  M_1 =  2.25 \ kg

    The angle of inclination of first block is  \theta _1 =  43.5^o

    The coefficient of kinetic friction of the first block is  \mu_1  = 0.205

      The mass of the second block is  M_2 = 5.45 \ kg

     The angle of inclination of the second block is  \theta _2 =  32.5^o

      The coefficient of kinetic friction of the second block is \mu _2 = 0.105

The acceleration of M_1 \ and\  M_2 are same

The force acting on the mass M_1 is mathematically represented as

     F_1 = T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1

=> M_1 a = T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1

Where T is the tension on the rope

The force acting on the mass M_2 is mathematically represented as    

  F_2 =  M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

   M_2 a =  M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

At equilibrium

  F_1 =  F_2

So

 T -  M_1gsin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1 g cos\theta_1 =M_2gsin \theta_2 - T -\mu_2 M_2 g cos\theta_2

making a the subject of the formula

    a =  \frac{M_2 g sin \theta_2 - M_1 g sin \theta_1 - \mu_1 M_1g cos \theta - \mu_2 M_2 g cos \theta_2 }{M_1 +M_2}

substituting values a =  \frac{(5.45) (9.8) sin (32.5) - (2.25) (9.8) sin (43.5) - (0.205)*(2.25) *9.8cos (43.5) - (0.105)*(5.45) *(9.8) cos(32.5) }{2.25 +5.45}

    => a =  0.7156 m/s^2

Two objects of the same size will always have the same mass ? Is this statement correct
vlabodo [156]

Answer: The statement is false , if Jupiter and Venus somehow became the same size, Jupiter would still have more mass due to its density and composition and rocks, minerals, and etc.

Hydrogen makes stars and stars spend most of their lifetime making helium.

The heavier elements are made when an old-age, high mass star explodes as a nova or supernova and then dies.
