D = 0.9 km = 900 m, distance moved
v = 35 nm/s , the speed

v = 35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s
   = (35 x 10⁻⁹ m/s)*(365 days/y)*(24*60*60 s/day)
   = 1.1038 m/y

The time iaken is
t = d/v
  = (900 m)/(1.1038 m/y)
  = 815.365 y

Answer: 815.4 y (nearest tenth)

ANEK [815]

To solve this given problem, we make use of the formula:

A = Ao e^( − b t / 2 m)

Substituting all the given values into the equation:

A / Ao = e^( − b t / 2 m)

 

When A / Ao = 0.60 and t = 50 s, we find for b:

0.60 = e^( − b t / 2 m)

ln ( 0.60 ) = − b t / 2 m

b = − ( 2 m ) ln ( 0.60 ) / t

b = ( − 2 ) ( .200 ) ln ( 0.60 ) / 50

b = .00409

 

When A / Ao = 0.30, we find for t:

0.30 = e^( − b t / 2 m)

ln ( 0.30 ) = − (0.00409) t / 2 (0.200)

t = − (0.200) ln ( 0.30 ) / 0.00409

t = 118 s

 

Therefore the number of oscillations is:

oscillations = f * t = 2 s^-1 (118 s) = 236

 

Answer: 236 oscillations

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

When t = 0, the train has a speed of 8 m/s, which is increasing at 0.5 m/s^2. Determine the magnitude of the acceleration of the engine when it reaches point A, at t = 20 s. Here the radius of curvature of the treks is 400 m

= 0.9519 m/s²

≅ 0.95 m/s²
