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?

"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.

harina [27]

Answer:

<h2>The magnitude of the magnetic is 0.145 T</h2>

Explanation:

Given :

Speed of proton v = 3.2 \times 10^{6}\frac{m}{s}

Mass of proton m = 1.67 \times 10^{-27} Kg

The force on the proton in magnetic field is given by,

  F = q (v \times B)

  F = qvB \sin \theta

But \sin 90 = 1    (∵ Force is perpendicular to the velocity so \theta = 90)

  F = qvB

When particle enter in magnetic field at the angle of 90° so particle moves in circle

So force is given by,

  F = \frac{mv^{2} }{r}

Where r = radius but in our case 0.23 m, q = 1.6 \times 10^{-19} C

By comparing above two equation,

  B = \frac{mv}{qr}

  B = \frac{1.67 \times 10^{-27} \times 3.2 \times 10^{6}  }{1.6 \times 10^{-19} \times 0.23 }

  B = 0.145 T

The ____ of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.
Marianna [84]

Answer:

The slope of a position-time graph represents an object’s velocity.

Explanation:

In a position-time graph, the values on the x-axis represent the time, while the values on the y-axis represent the position of the object.

Velocity is defined as the ratio between the displacement of an object and the time taken:

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}

However, we can see that this definition corresponds to the slope of the curve in a position-time graph. In fact:

\Delta s, the displacement, corresponds to the difference in position, so the difference between the values on the y-axis: \Delta s=y_2 -y_1

\Delta t, the time interval, corresponds to the difference in times, so the difference between the values on the x-axis: \Delta t= t_2 -t_1=x_2 -x_1

So, the velocity is

v=\frac{\Delta s}{\Delta t}=\frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}

which corresponds to the slope of the curve.
