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

The sine of the incident angle is 0.217; the sine of the refracted angle is 0.173. calculate the index of refraction.
notka56 [123]
This can be solve using snell's law. snell's law equation is :

N1 / N2 = sin a2 / sin a1
where N1 is the index of  refraction of the air which is equal to 1
N2 is the index of refraction of the medium
a2 is the angle of refraction
a1 is the incident angle

subsitute the given values
1 / N2 = 0.173 / 0.217
N2 = 1 ( 0.217 / 0.173)
N2 = 1.25 is the index of refraction
