Answer:

The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²

Explanation:

Lets explain how to solve the problem

A train in order for it to stop 12 m/s in a distance if 541 m

That means the initial velocity of the train is 12 m/s

Its final velocity is zero (stop)

The distance it covers is 541 m

We want to find its acceleration

The acceleration will be negative quantity because the train reduced its

velocity from 12 m/s to zero

We need rule contains velocity, acceleration and distance

So we will use ⇒<em> v² = u² + 2as</em>, where v is the final velocity, u is the

initial velocity, a is the acceleration and s is the distance

v = 0, u = 12 m/s, s = 541 m

Substitute these values in the rule

(0)² = (12)² + 2(a)(541)

0 = 144 + 1082 a

Subtract 144 from both sides

-144 = 1082 a

Divide both sides by 1082

- 0.133 = a

<em>The acceleration of the train must be - 0.133 m/s²</em>

A 1000.kg car moving at north at 100. km/hr brakes to a stop in 50. m within a uniform acceleration. what are magnitude and dire
Marianna [84]

Answer:

Force=7.71KN in the opposite direction

Explanation:

Given the mass of the car(M)=1000Kg

The initial speed of the car(u)=100km/hr

we know that 1km/hr=5/18 m/sec

100km/hr=100*5/18 m/sec=27.77m/sec

the distance travelled before it stops (s)=50m

let the acceleration of the car be a

The final velocity of the car is 0.

we know that  v^{2}-u^{2}=2as

0^{2}-27.77^{2}=2(-a)(50)

a=7.712m/sec^{2}

We know that F=Ma

F=1000* 7.712=7712N=7.71KN
