A train starting from rest picks up a speed of 20 m/s in 20 s while travelling on a straight path. It continues to move at the s

ame speed for the next 50 s. It is then brought to rest in the next 10 s.
a. Plot the speed-time graph for the train..

e. How much distance did the train cover during this entire journey?

Answer:

1300 m

Explanation:

As the path is straight, so the speed is equivalent to velocity. Now. assuming that the acceleration and deceleration of the train are constant. So, change of velocity with respect to time for acceleration as well as deceleration is constant. Hence, the slope of the speed-time graph is constant for the time of acceleration as well as deceleration. The speed for the time from 20 s to 70 s is constant, so slope for this interval of time is zero. The speed-time graph is shown in the figure.

The total distance covered by the train during the entire journey is the area of the speed-time graph.

Area=\frac{1}{2}(20\times 20)+ 50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}(20\times 10)

=200+1000+100

=1300

As velocity is in m/s and time is in s so the unit of area is m

Hence, the total distance is  1300m.

You have two resistors with the same cross sectional area and resistivity. Resistor A has length L1 and resistor B has length L2
oee [108]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Resistor A has length L_1

and Resistor B has Length L_2

and Resistance is given by

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Considering \rhoand A to be constant thus

R_2>R_1 because L_2>L_1

(a)When they are connected in series

As the current in series is same and power is i^2R

therefore P_2>P_1 as R is greater for second resistor

(b)if they are connected in Parallel

In Parallel connection Voltage is same

P=\frac{V^2}{R}

resistance of 2 is greater than 1 thus Power delivered by 1 is greater than 2

MariettaO [177]

Answer:

F = 6666.7 N

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a chip, m = 0.1 mg

Initial speed, u = 0

Final speed,v=4\times 10^{3}\ m/s

Time of collision,t=6\times 10^{-8}\ s

We know that,

Force, F = ma

Put all the values,

F=\dfrac{m(v-u)}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{0.1\times 10^{-6}\times (4\times 10^3-0)}{6\times 10^{-8}}\\\\F=6666.7\ N

So, the required force is 6666.7 N.

If you pull horizontally on a desk with a force of 150 N and the desk doesn't move, the friction force must be 150 N. Now if you
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

The friction force is 250 N

Explanation:

The desk is moving at constant velocity. This means that its acceleration is zero: a = 0. Newton's second law states that the resultant of the forces acting on the desk is equal to the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

\sum F=ma

In this case, we know that the acceleration is zero: a = 0, so also the resultant of the forces must be zero:

\sum F = 0 (1)

We are only interested in the forces acting along the horizontal direction, since it is the direction of motion. There are two forces acting in this direction:

- the pull, forward, F = 250 N

- the friction force, backward, F_f

Given (1), we have

F-F_f = 0

So the force of friction must be equal to the pull:

F=F_f = 250 N
