Acceleration = change in velocity / time

change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity

because the object is slowing down, the acceleration will be negative.

acceleration = (4-34) / 60
acceleration = -30 / 60
acceleration = -0.5 m/s^2

answer : the train is accelerating at -0.5 m/s^2

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

Time of flight  A is greatest

Explanation:

Let u₁ , u₂, u₃ be their initial velocity and θ₁ , θ₂ and θ₃ be their angle of projection. They all achieve a common highest height of H.

So

H = u₁² sin²θ₁ /2g

H = u₂² sin²θ₂ /2g

H = u₃² sin²θ₃ /2g

On the basis of these equation we can write

u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂=u₃ sinθ₃

For maximum range we can write

D = u₁² sin2θ₁ /g

1.5 D = u₂² sin2θ₂ / g

2 D =u₃² sin2θ₃ / g

1.5 D / D = u₂² sin2θ₂ /u₁² sin2θ₁

1.5 = u₂ cosθ₂ /u₁ cosθ₁      ( since , u₁ sinθ₁ =u₂ sinθ₂ )

u₂ cosθ₂ >u₁ cosθ₁

u₂ sinθ₂ < u₁ sinθ₁

2u₂ sinθ₂ / g < 2u₁ sinθ₁ /g

Time of flight B < Time of flight  A

Similarly we can prove

Time of flight C < Time of flight B

Hence Time of flight  A is greatest .

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

The total amount of energy that would have been released if the asteroid hit earth = The kinetic energy of the asteroid = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J = 1.29 PetaJoules = 1.29 PJ

1 PJ = 10¹⁵ J

Explanation:

Kinetic energy = mv²/2

velocity of the asteroid is given as 7.8 km/s = 7800 m/s

To obtain the mass, we get it from the specific gravity and diameter information given.

Density = specific gravity × 1000 = 3 × 1000 = 3000 kg/m³

But density = mass/volume

So, mass = density × volume.

Taking the informed assumption that the asteroid is a sphere,

Volume = 4πr³/3

Diameter = 30 m, r = D/2 = 15 m

Volume = 4π(15)³/3 = 14137.2 m³

Mass of the asteroid = density × volume = 3000 × 14137.2 = 42411501 kg = 4.24 × 10⁷ kg

Kinetic energy of the asteroid = mv²/2 = (4.24 × 10⁷)(7800²)/2 = 1.29 × 10¹⁵ J

charle [14.2K]

Answer:

She will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.

Explanation:

mass of an object is directly proportional to the cube of its length. In this case the length is constant, the mass will also be constant for the smiley face, so that the mobile will be kept in perfect balance.

Therefore, If Anya decides to make the star twice as massive, and not change the length of any crossbar or the location of any object, she will make the mass of the smiley face twice as massive in order to keep the mobile in perfect balance.

A ball rolls with a speed of 2.0m/s across a level table that is 1.0m above the floor. Upon reaching the edge of the table it fo
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:0.58 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the ball is u = 2.0 m/s

The height of the table is, h = 1.0 m

The ball falls in vertical direction under acceleration due to gravity.

Time taken for ball to hit the floor:

h= ut + 0.5gt² ( from the equation of motion)

1.0 m=2.0 m/s × t+0.5 × 9.8 m/s²× t²

Solving this for t,

t = 0.29 s ( we have neglected the negative value of t)

In the same time, the ball would cover a horizontal distance of :

s = u t

⇒s = 2.0 m/s×0.29 s = 0.58 m

Thus, the landing spot is 0.58 m away from the table.
