A train accelerates from a station with a = 1.841m/s ? Upon reaching a speed of 23.52m/s the train travels at a constant velocit

y for a period. The train slows down as it approaches the next station at a rate of 2m/s ? and stops at that station Hint: Sketch a graph of uversus tfor the train's journey. (a) of the two stations are 1,200m apart, how long does the train journey take?

Answer:

63.29s

Explanation:

Firstly calculate the time taken to reach 23.52m/s

;use the formula...v = u + at

23.52 = 0 + 1.841t

then obtain...t = 12.78s

Then calculate the time for the last part of the journey...where the train slows down...

use the formula that is above...

0 = 23.52 - 2t...(negative for deceleration)

then obtain....t = 11.76s

Then we know that the total area under the graph of u against t..is equal to 1200m

For the first triangle(first part of the journey...where the train accelerates)

(23.52 × 12.78)÷2 = 150.3m

Then for the constant velocity part...a rectangle...

23.52 × f.....where f represents the time taken by the train having constant velocity.

...= 23.52fm

Then for the last part of the journey...the deceleration part..a triangle

(23.52 × 11.76)÷ 2 = 138.3m

Then....we add all the obtained distances and equate to 1200m so that we can obtain time (f)

138.3 + 150.3 + 23.52f = 1200

where f = 38.75s

Then total time for the whole journey of the train...

38.75 + 11.76 + 12.78

;Ans = 63.29s

An object moving in circular motion has a mass of 15 kg and a centripetal acceleration of 10 m/s2. What is the centripetal force

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

1) A

2) C

3) B

4) A

5) Incomplete information(picture missing)

6) Incomplete information(picture missing)

7) Incomplete information(picture missing)

8) A

9) C

10) C

Explanation:

1) m = 15kg, a = $10ms^{-2}$ , F = ma = 15*10 = 150N

2) m = 3kg, v = $4ms^{-1}$ , r = 4m, F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

$\frac{3*4^{2} }{4}$ = 12N

3) a = $10ms^{-2}$ , r = 10m, v=?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$ and F = ma

equating the two equations and cancelling a, we have:

$\frac{v^{2} }{r}$ = a

making v the subject of formula, we have:

v = $\sqrt{ar}$

= $\sqrt{100}$

= 10 $ms^{-1}$

4) r = 10m, v = $5ms^{-1}$ , a = ?

F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

F = ma

equating the above equations and making a subject of formula, we get:

a = $\frac{v^{2} }{r}$

a = 25/10 = 2.5 $ms^{-2}$

5) I can't find the picture associated with this question

6) I can't find the picture associated with this question

7) I can't find the picture associated with this question

8) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is tripled

F = $(3v)^{2}$

F = 9 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 9X greater than it was.

9) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and r is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively, the formula simplifies to:

F = $v^{2}$

Now, if v is doubled

F = $(2v)^{2}$

F = 4 $v^{2}$

We can see that the force will be 4X greater than it was.

10) F = $\frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

assuming m and v is unity, that is the values are 1 respectively

F = 1/r

if r is doubled,

F = 1/2 * 1/r

We can see that the force is 1/2 as big as it was

The Cajun Cliffhanger at Great AMerica is a ride in which occupants line the perimeter of a cylinder and spin in a circle at a h

12345 [234]

Explanation:

Centripetal Force is the force that keeps the object's rotation in a circular path and it's always directed towards the center of rotation. Mathematically, it is given as,

$F_{c} = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}$

From this equation it can be concluded that the centripetal force is proportional to the product of mass and the square of velocity. It is inversely proportional to the object's distance from the center.

Now in the above mentioned case, when the cylinder begins spinning very rapidly and it's speed becomes double. Then by applying the above equation we conclude that " the force will be increased four times if the speed is doubled as it is proportional to square of speed."

A 1.0 kg mass attached to a spring is pulled back horizontally across a table so that the potential energy of the system is incr

saw5 [17]

-- If it's all happening horizontally, then gravity is not involved.
Only the spring is.

-- If there's no friction, then total energy is conserved.

-- If you put 190J of energy into the spring by moving the mass,
and there's only 55J of potential energy in the spring now, then
the other 135J of energy is in the kinetic energy of the mass and
the moving parts of the spring.
