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

natita [175]

Answer:

3.258 m/s

Explanation:

k = Spring constant = 263 N/m (Assumed, as it is not given)

x = Displacement of spring = 0.7 m (Assumed, as it is not given)

\mu = Coefficient of friction = 0.4

Energy stored in spring is given by

U=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\Rightarrow U=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 263\times 0.7^2\\\Rightarrow U=64.435\ J

As the energy in the system is conserved we have

\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2=U-\mu mgx\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{U-\mu mgx}{m}}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{2\dfrac{64.435-0.4\times 8\times 9.81\times 0.7}{8}}\\\Rightarrow v=3.258\ m/s

The speed of the 8 kg block just before collision is 3.258 m/s

Which chemical reaction shows photosynthesis
djverab [1.8K]

Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is defined as a chemical process in which plants tend to make their own food in the presence of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.

During this process, product formed by the plants is glucose and oxygen.

The chemical reaction equation for photosynthesis is as follows.

      6CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O + \text{Sunlight} \rightarrow C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}

Therefore, we can conclude that out of the given options the correct equation is as follows.

              \text{water + carbon dioxide + sunlight} \rightarrow \text{oxygen + glucose}
