A train is accelerating at a rate of 2 km/hr/s.  If its initial velocity is 20 km/hr, what is its velocity after 30 seconds?

Aleksandr [31]4 years ago

"2 km/hr/s" means that in each second, its engines can increase its speed by 2 km/hr.

If it keeps doing that for 30 seconds, its speed has increased by 60 km/hr.

On top of the initial speed of 20 km/hr, that's 80 km/hr at the end of the 30 seconds.

This whole discussion is of <em>speed</em>, not velocity. Surely, in high school physics,
you've learned the difference by now. There's no information in the question that
says anything about the train's <em>direction</em>, and it was wrong to mention velocity in
the question.  This whole thing could have been taking place on a curved section
of track. If that were the case, it would have taken a team of ace engineers, cranking
their Curtas, to describe what was happening to the velocity.  Better to just stick with
speed.

Answer:

A. The brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes

Explanation:

Based on the law of conservation of energy, the brakes used a coil system to convert the kinetic energy into potential energy stored in the brakes.

The law of conservation of energy states that energy is neither created nor destroyed in a system but it is transformed from one form to another.

As the airplane slows down, the kinetic energy which is presented in the motion of the plane is gradually converted to potential energy.

The potential energy is the energy due to the position of a body.

What is 8200 N/m2 expressed in kilopascals?
natima [27]
The S.I. unit for the measure of the pressure is the Pascal (Pa). 1 Pascal corresponds to
1 Pa = 1 N/m^2

We can convert the number given by the problem into Pascal:
8200 N/m^2 = 8200 Pa

And since 1 Pa = 10^{-3}kPa, we have
8200 Pa = 8200 \cdot 10^{-3}kPa =8.2 kPa

Two positive charges of same magnitude are separated by some distance if we bring a unit positive charge from one charge to anot
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

Increases.

Explanation:

The electric potential increases when the two positive charges of same magnitude bring close to one charge to another because there is repulsive force between them due to same charge and when the two opposite charges move away from each other, the potential energy decreases. When two opposite charges are brought closer together, electric potential energy decreases while on the other hand, when we move opposite charges apart from each other than the work done against the attractive force that leads to an increase in electric potential energy.
