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.

A mass m = 14 kg is pulled along a horizontal floor with NO friction for a distance d =5.7 m. Then the mass is pulled up an incl
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

W ≅ 292.97 J

Explanation:

1)What is the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline? (On the horizontal surface.)

Workdone by the tension before the block goes up the incline on the horizontal surface can be calculated using the expression;

W = (Fcosθ)d

Given that:

Tension of the force = 62 N

angle of incline θ =  34°

distance d =5.7 m.

Then;

W = 62 × cos(34) × 5.7

W = 353.4 cos(34)

W = 353.4 × 0.8290

W = 292.9686 J

W ≅ 292.97 J

Hence,  the work done by tension before the block goes up the incline = 292.97 J

Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding solar surface. True or false
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

False, Sunspots appear dark (in visible light) due to their low temperature(cooler) than rest of the sun

Explanation:

Sunspots appear dark because they are much cooler( have low temperature than the rest of the surface contained by Sun. As they appear dark, but still they have very temperature that's why so hot. Sunspots have temperatures ranges  3,500 Celsius (3773 kelvin) and the surrounding surface of the sun has a temperature much higher of about 5,500 Celsius(5773 Kelvin). Even if we see a sunspot alone in space,  it will glow so brightly.

3. A bicycle has a momentum of 25.00 kg* m/s and a velocity of 2.5 m/s . What is the bicycle's
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

10 kg

Explanation:

The question is most likely asking for the mass of the bicycle.

Momentum is the product of an object's mass and velocity. Mathematically:

p = m * v

Where p = momentum

m = mass

v = velocity

Hence, mass is:

m = p / v

From the question:

p = 25 kgm/s

v = 2.5 m/s

Mass is:

m = 25 / 2.5 = 10 kg

The mass of the bicycle is 10 kg.

In case the question requires the Kinetic energy of the bicycle, it can be gotten by using the formula

K. E = ½ * p * v

K. E. = ½ * 25 * 2.5 = 31.25 J

The pitch of a note corresponds to which property of sound wave
Ksivusya [100]
A high pitch sound corresponds to a high-frequency sound wave and a low pitch sound corresponds to a low-frequency sound wave. So, the pitch of a note corresponds to the amount of frequency of a sound wave. Hope this helped!
