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.

The wave function of a particle is exp(i(kx-omegat)), where x is distance, t is time, and k and co are positive real numbers. Th
Step2247 [10]

Answer:

Momentum, p=\hbar k

Explanation:

The wave function of a particle is given by :

y=exp[i(kx-\omega t)]...............(1)

Where

x is the distance travelled

t is the time taken

k is the propagation constant

\omega is the angular frequency

The relation between the momentum and wavelength is given by :

p=\dfrac{h}{\lambda}............(2)

From equation (1),

k=\dfrac{2\pi}{\lambda}

\lambda=\dfrac{2\pi}{k}

Use above equation in equation (2) as :

p=\dfrac{h k}{2\pi }

Since, \dfrac{h}{2\pi}=\hbar

p=\hbar k

So, the x-component of the momentum of the particle is \hbar k. Hence, this is the required solution.

Why x ray is called an electromagnetic wave<br>​
Dahasolnce [82]
Because they behave just like all the electromagnetic waves of the spectrum. Same equations, just shorter wavelengths and more energy.

Hope you get it :)

A hollow cylinder of mass 2.00 kg, inner radius 0.100 m, and outer radius 0.200 m is free to rotate without friction around a ho
Aneli [31]

Answer:

h=2.86m

Explanation:

In order to give a quick response to this exercise we will use the equations of conservation of kinetic and potential energy, the equation is given by,

\Delta PE_i + \Delta KE_i = \Delta PE_f +\Delta KE_f

There is no kinetic energy in the initial state, nor potential energy in the end,

mgh+0=0+KE_f

In the final kinetic energy, the energy contributed by the Inertia must be considered, as well,

mgh = (\frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2)

The inertia of the bodies is given by the equation,

I=\frac{m(R_1^2+R^2_2)}{2}

I=\frac{2(0.2^2+0.1^2)}{2}

I=0.05Kgm^2

On the other hand the angular velocity is given by

\omega =\frac{v}{R_2}=\frac{4}{1/5} = 2rad/s

Replacing these values in the equation,

(0.5)(9.8)(h) =\frac{1}{2}*0.5*4^2+\frac{1}{2}*0.05*20^2

Solving for h,

h=2.86m

Help on finding kinetic energy??
Jobisdone [24]
Trick question? In order to have kinetic energy, an object must be moving. Therefore, in this case, kinetic energy would be 0. If it were asking about potential energy, it would be a different story.
