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

If a 0.75 efficient motor produces 150 W of useful power, what was the input power? *
vlada-n [284]

Answer:

<em>The input power is 200 W</em>

Explanation:

<u>Motor Efficiency</u>

The efficiency of a motor can be calculated as follows:

\displaystyle \beta=\frac{P_o}{P_i}

Where:

β   = efficiency

Po = Output power

Pi  = Input power

Solving for Pi:

\displaystyle P_i=\frac{P_o}{\beta}

The efficiency is β=0.75 and the output power is Po=150 W, thus the input power is:

\displaystyle P_i=\frac{150}{0.75}

P_i=200 \ W

The input power is 200 W

When Jane drives to work, she always places her purse on the passenger’s seat. By the time she gets to work, her purse has falle
LUCKY_DIMON [66]
At some time during her drive she backed up with a substantial negative. ( backwards) acceleration. Since the pocket book is not physically connected to the seat it is free to move. Upon rapid negative acceleration the pocket book remains in its position while the car accelerates backwards away from it. this demonstrates Newtons 1st law of motion. The first law is the law of inertia. Which states, an object at rest. ( pocketbook) will remain at rest and an object in motion will continue in motion at constant velocity, unless acted upon by some outside force to change its motion.

A 1000-kg barge is being towed by means of two horizontal cables. one cable is pulling with a force of 80.0 n in a direction 30.
Gnoma [55]
To obtain an acceleration northward is necessary than the west component of the first cable and the east component of the second cable be equal, otherwise the barge will head northwest or northeast.  
So for the first cable the component to west is:
 Fw = F1 * cos (30Âş) = 80*cos(30Âş)  
 And for the second cable the component to east is:
 Fe = F2 * cos (20Âş) = F2*cos(20Âş) 
 Then to get a movement northward we need than Fw = Fe, so:
 80*cos(30Âş) = F2*cos(20Âş)
 F2 = 80*cos(30Âş)/cos(20Âş) 
 F2 = 73.73 N  So the magnitude of the east cable should be 73.73 Newtons
