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.

Magnitude of acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Change in speed = (ending speed) - (starting speed)

                            =       zero            - (43 m/s)

                            =          -43 m/s .

Magnitude of acceleration = (-43 m/sec) / (0.28 sec)

                                          =  (-43 / 0.28)  (m/sec) / sec

                                          =        153.57...  m/s²

                                          =        1.5...  x 10²  m/s²  .

When Missourians carve their initials into the bark of a tree, the damage leaves the tree open to ____________________.
sasho [114]

Answer:

In fact, carving letters into a tree probably won't hurt it. ... In general, the tree will compartmentalize the wound and it will heal over. The initials that remain visible are essentially scar tissue, permanent scar tissue.

Explanation:

Unfortunately, when carving into the trunk of a tree the blade of a knife often penetrates the outer bark and cuts into the inner bark. ... In cases that the phloem is damaged all the way around the trunk (in a ring for example), the tree will slowly and eventually starve to death.

kipiarov [429]

Answer: C. Metal transfers heat away from the skin by conduction, creating the sensation of coolness.

Explanation: The skin releases heat into the metal bowl since there is a difference in temperature between the two objects. So heat is taken away from the hand abd transfers into the metal bowl by conduction creating a cooler sensation.

When the ambulance passes the person (switching from moving towards him to moving away from him), the perceived frequency of the
dlinn [17]

To develop this problem we will apply the considerations made through the concept of Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. At first the source is moving towards the observer. Than the perceived frequency at first

F_1 = F \frac{{343}}{(343-V)}

Where F is the actual frequency and v is the velocity of the ambulance

Now the source is moving away from the observer.

F_2 = F\frac{343}{(343+V)}

We are also so told the perceived frequency decreases by 11.9%

F_2 = F_1 - 9.27\% \text{ of } F_1

F_2 = F_1-0.0927F_1

F_2 = 0.9073F_1

Equating,

F\frac{343}{(343+V)}= 0.9073(F\frac{343}{(343-V)})

\frac{1}{(343+V)}= 0.9073\frac{1}{(343-V)}

0.9073(343+V) = 343-V

(0.9073)(343)+(0.9073)V = 343-V

V+0.9073V = 343-(0.9073)(343)

Solving for V,

V = 16.67 m/s
