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 car was moving at 14 m/s After 30 s, its speed increased to 20 m/s. What was the acceleration during this time ( need help fas
Arada [10]

Answer:let initial velocity u=14m/s

Final velocity v=20m/s

Time taken t=30

Acceleration =a

V=u +at

a= (20-14)/30

a=0.2m/s^2

Explanation:

Acceleration is the change in velocity with respect to time.

A brother and sister are standing next to each other at rest on a surface of frictionless ice. The brother’s mass is exactly twi
a_sh-v [17]

The sister suddenly pushes her brother. As a result, the sister moves with kinetic energy k. The resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.

<h3>What is kinetic energy?</h3>

The ability of an object to do work by virtue of its motion is called the kinetic energy.

A brother and sister are standing next to each other at rest on a surface of frictionless ice. The brother’s mass is exactly twice that of his sister’s.

If the sister's mass is m, the brother's mass is 2m.

The kinetic energy of sister is k =1/2 mv²,

The velocity will also get halved for brother, So, the kinetic energy of brother will be

k' = 1/2 (2m)(v/2)²

On comparing, the relation between the kinetic energy of brother and sister is k' = k/2

Thus, the resulting kinetic energy of the brother is k/2.
