The change in velocity (v₂ - v₁) is
<em> (-20) / (the object's mass)</em>.
Call it a crazy hunch, but I can't shake the feeling that there was more
to the question before the part you copied, that mentioned the object's
mass, and its velocity before this force came along.
Answer:
After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s
Solution:
As per the question:
Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m
Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:
y(t) = 60t
Now,
To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:
Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:


Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':


For t = 4 s:

4896
0.85 x 45 x 128 = 4896
Change in energy = specific heat capacity x mass x change in temperature
The answer is C. Potential energy is when an object is at rest.
Kinetic is when an object is in motion.
