An train car of total mass of 13000 kg is pulling into a station and slowing down with an acceleration of -4.56 m/s^2. Before th

e train pulls into the station, a group of 7 stowaway jump off the train. Each stowaway has a mass of 66 kg. If the braking force on the train remains the same, what will be the acceleration of the train once the stowaways jump out of the train?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

-4.73 m/s²

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Each jumper represents about 1/2 of 1% of the mass of the train, so together they total about 3.5% of the mass of the train. If the mass decreases by 3.5% and the braking force remains the same, the acceleration (magnitude) will increase by about 3.5%.

The acceleration will be about 0.17 m/s² more (in magnitude) than it was, or about -4.73 m/s².

Near the top of the Citigroup Center building in New York City, there is an object with mass of 4.8 x 105 kg on springs that hav
Vikki [24]

Answer:

The force constant is  k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is  E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The mass of the object is  M  = 4.8*10^{5} \ kg

    The period is T  = 1.2 \ s

The period of the spring oscillation is  mathematically represented as

         T  =2 \pi \sqrt{ \frac{M}{k}}

where  k is the force constant

   So making k the subject

       k = \frac{4 \pi ^2 M }{T^2}

substituting values

       k = \frac{4 (3.142) ^2 (4.8 *10^{5}) }{(1.2)^2}

      k =1.316 *10^{7} \  N/m

The energy stored in the spring is mathematically represented  as

       E =  \frac{1}{2} k x^2

Where x is the spring displacement which is given as

        x =  1.6 \ m

substituting values

      E =  \frac{1}{2} (1.316 *10^{7}) (1.6)^2

       E =  1.68 *10^{7} \ J

A 375-pound concrete cylinder has a base area of 144 square inches. with the cylinder resting on its base, the pressure exerted
Akimi4 [234]

The pressure exerted by the concrete cylinder is 2.60 pound/in².

We need to know about the pressure to solve this problem. Pressure is a unit that describes how much force is applied to a surface area. It can be determined as

P = F / A

where P is pressure, F is force and A is area.

From the question above, we know that

F = 375 pound

A = 144 in²

By substituting the given parameters, we can calculate the pressure

P = F / A

P = 375 / 144

P = 2.60 pound/in²

Thus, the pressure should be 2.60 pound/in².

A person is riding on a Ferris wheel. When the wheel makes one complete turn, the net work done on the person by the gravitation
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

m = Mass of person

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

d = Vertical height from the ground

F = Force = Weight = mg

Net work done would be

W_n=W_{up}+W_{down}\\\Rightarrow W_n=Fdcos180+Fdcos0\\\Rightarrow W_n=-mgd+mgd\\\Rightarrow W_n=0

Hence, the work done on the person by the gravitational force is 0
