A subway train starts from rest at a station and accelerates uniformly at 1.8m/s^2 for 15 sec. then it runs at a constant speed

for the next 35 sec. before decelerating at 2.0m/s^2 until it comes to rest at the next station. FIND THE DISTANCE between the stations and the AVERAGE SPEED of the train.
(please show step by step and the formula that is used. Thank you!)

This looks so scary just because there are so many parts to it.
Take them one at a time:

<u>First piece:</u>
From rest, accelerates 1.8 m/s² for 15 sec.
Speed at the end of the 15 sec = 1.8 x 15 = 27 m/s
Distance covered = (average speed) x (time) = (13.5) x (15) = 202.5 meters

<u>Middle piece:</u>
Starts this piece at 27 m/s.
Runs at constant speed for 35 sec.
Covers (27 x 35) = 945 meters
Finishes this piece (15 + 35) = 50 seconds after leaving the first station
Finishes this piece (202.5 + 945) = 1147.5 meters from the first station.

<u>Last piece:</u>
Starts this piece 50 seconds after leaving the first station,
         1147.5 meters from it, still moving at 27 m/s.
Decelerates at 2.0 m/s² .
--> It takes 27/2.0 = 13.5 seconds to come to a stop.
--> Distance covered during this piece = (average speed) x (time)
           = (13.5 m/s) x (13.5 sec) = 182.25 meters
Finishes this piece (50 + 13.5) = 63.5 seconds after leaving the first station
Finishes this piece (1147.5 + 182.25) = 1,329.75 m from the first station  

Distance between the stations (along the track) = 1,329.75 meters.

Average speed = (total distance) / (total time) = 1,329.75 / 63.5 = 20.941 m/s.

I sure hope I didn't make any stupid arithmetic blunders here,
because I really don't feel like going back and checking it.
Let me know, and I'll fix them.

TEA [102]

Answer:3,45 x 10^9 N

Explanation: We have considered the total charge for each coin , this is the total atoms x 29 electrons for cooper and multiplier by electron charge, the total charge for each coin is 0,464 C

Finally we use the Coulomb law,

F=k Q/ (r)^2

Help !!!! Estimate the number of breaths taken by a person during 44 years?
Lisa [10]
44 x 12. I got the 12 from the total of 12 months in a year.


44 > 40

x
12 > 10
----------
The way my teacher taught me how to estimate is look at the neighbor to 44 and 12. The only time 44 can become 50, is when the neighbor is 5 or up. Same thing for 12. Now, multiply 40 and 10.

40 x 10 = 400.

Therefore, your estimate is 400.

The real answer is 520 breaths.

a flashlight has a resistance of 2.4 ohms. what voltage is applied by the batteries if the current in the circuit is 2.5A?
Mashcka [7]

E = I R

That means 

        Voltage = (current) x (resistance)

                     =   (2.5 A)  x  (2.4 ohms)

                     =       6 volts .

A mass m attached to a horizontal massless spring with spring constant k, is set into simple harmonic motion. its maximum displa
Lesechka [4]
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
U_i= \frac{1}{2} ka^2
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
K_i =0
And the total energy of the system is
E_i = U_i+K= \frac{1}{2}ka^2

Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
U_f = 0
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2
And the total energy is
E_f = U_f + K_f =  \frac{1}{2} mv^2

For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore E_i = E_f. So we  can write
\frac{1}{2} ka^2 =  \frac{1}{2}mv^2
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
v= \sqrt{ \frac{ka^2}{m} }
