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.

What is Vatiable Velocity?​
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Explanation: When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example: A rotating fan at a constant speed has variable velocity, because of continuous change in direction.

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building and falls for 4 seconds. Neglecting air resistance, the final
Semenov [28]

Answer:

The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

A ball is dropped from rest from a high window of a tall building.

Time = 4 sec

We need to calculate the final velocity of the ball

Using equation if motion

v=u+gt

Where, v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

g = acceleration due to gravity

t = time

Put the value into the formula

v=0+9.8\times4

v=39.2\ m/s

Hence, The final velocity of the ball is 39.2 m/s.

How many air molecules are in a 13.0×12.0×10.0 ft room (28.2 L=1 ft3)? Assume atmospheric pressure of 1.00 atm, a room temperatu
aksik [14]

Answer:

1963.93 Moles

Explanation:

-We know the standard conversion ratio for the volume of a mole is 1 Mole=22.4L

Given volume of rooms as 13.0ft\times12.0ft\times10ft=1560 ft^3

Convert the volume into liters:1560\times28.2l=43992l

#From our conversion ratio above, we get the volume of air molecules in moles as:

V_m=\frac{43992L}{22.4L}\times 1\ mole\\\\=1963.93\ Moles

Hence, the volume of air molecules is 1963.93 Moles

Light of wavelength 580 nm is incident on a slit of width 0.30 mm. An observing screen is placed 2.0 m past the slit. Find the d
uysha [10]

Answer:

Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm

Explanation:

This problem can be solved by using Young's double-slit experiment formula:

Y = \frac{\lambda L}{d}

where,

Y = fringe spacing = ?

L = slit to screen distance = 2 m

λ = wavelength of light = 580 nm = 5.8 x 10⁻⁷ m

d = slit width = 0.3 mm = 3 x 10⁻⁴ m

Therefore,

Y = \frac{(5.8\ x\ 10^{-7}\ m)(2\ m)}{3\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m}

<u>Y = 3.87 x 10⁻³ m = 3.87 mm</u>
