Freight trains can produce only relatively small accelerations and decelerations. What is the final velocity, in meters per seco

nd, of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.065 m/s^2 for 9.75 min, starting with an initial velocity of 3.4 m/s? If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.625 m/s^2, how long, in seconds, does it take to come to a stop from this velocity? How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (a)? How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (b)?

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity of train u = 3.4 m⁻¹ , Acceleration a = .065 ms⁻² ,

time t = 9.75 x 60 = 585 s.

v = u + at

= 3.4 + .065 x 585

= 41.425 m / s

distance travelled during the acceleration ( s )

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 3.4 x 585 + .5 x .065 x 585²

= 1989 + 11122.31

= 13111.31 m .

again for slowing process

u = 41.425 m / s

v = u -at

0 = 41.425 - 0.625 t

t = 66.28 s

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 41.425² - 2 x .625 s

s = 1372.82 m

A charge +3q is placed at x = 0 and a charge +11q is placed at x = 5 units. Where, along the x-axis is the net force on a charge
RideAnS [48]

At x = 1.72 units  the net force on a charge Q equal to zero when a charge +3q is placed at x = 0 and a charge +11q is placed at x = 5 units.

A net force is defined as the sum of all the forces acting on an object. The equation below is the sum of N forces acting on an object. There may be several forces acting on an object, and when you add up all of those forces, the result is what we call the net force acting on the object.

This equation is the sum of n forces acting on an object. The magnitude of the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object, as shown in this formula.

+3q        ⇔        +11q

x = ?      ⇔         x = 5

\frac{1}{4\pi E0} (\frac{3q}{x^{2} } -\frac{11q}{(5-x)^{2} } ) = 0

\frac{3}{x^{2} } = \frac{11q}{(5-x)^{2} }

\frac{5-x}{x} = \sqrt{\frac{11}{3} }  = 1.91\\

5-x = 1.91x\\x = 1.715 = 1.72 units

∴ At x = 1.72 units  the net force on a charge Q equal to zero

What is meant in astronomy by the phrase "adaptive optics?
Sergeu [11.5K]
<h2>Answer: a.The mirrors and eyepiece of a large telescope are spring-loaded to allow them to return quickly to a known position. </h2>

Explanation:

Adaptive optics is a method used in several astronomical observatories to counteract in real time the effects of the Earth's atmosphere on the formation of astronomical images.

This is done through the insertion into the optical path of the telescope of sophisticated deformable mirrors supported by a set of computationally controlled actuators. Thus obtaining clear images despite the effects of atmospheric turbulence that cause the unwanted distortion.

It should be noted that with this technique it is also necessary to have a moderately bright reference star that is very close to the object to be observed and studied. However, it is not always possible to find such stars, so a powerful laser beam is used to point towards the Earth's upper atmosphere and create artificial stars.
