<span>So we want to know what kind of wave is the scientist is studying while studying earthquakes. Waves that produce earthquakes are mechanical waves. Gamma rays and radiowaves are both electromagnetic waves and don't require a medium but mechanical do. So the correct answer is mechanical waves.</span>
Answer:
No, there won't be a collision.
Explanation:
We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,
v = u + a*t
0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t
t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)
v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s
0 = (25)^2 + 2*(-0.1)*s
s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)
If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur
Speed*time = distance
Distance = (15)*(250)
Distance = 3750 m
As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision
It’s the engery. you are changing the engery
Answer: 6067.5 N
Explanation:
Work = Change in Energy. To start, all of the energy is kinetic energy, so find the total KE using: KE = 1/2(m)(v^2). Plug in 1980 kg for m and 15.5 m/s for v and get KE = 237847.5 J.
Now, plug this in for work: Work = Force * Distance; so, divide work by distance to get 6067.5 N.
