The fast French train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) has a scheduled average speed of 216 km/h. (a) If the train goes

around a curve at that speed and the acceleration experienced by the passengers is to be limited to 0.060g, what is the smallest radius of curvature for the track that can be tolerated? (b) At what speed must the train go around a curve with a 1.80 km radius to be at the acceleration limit?

Answer:

a)  r = 6122 m and b) v = 32.5 m / s

Explanation:

a) The train in the curve is subject to centripetal acceleration

         a = v2 / r

Where v is The speed and r the radius of the curve

They indicate that the maximum acceleration of the person is 0.060g,

        a = 0.060 g

        a = 0.060 9.8

        a = 0.588 m /s²

Let's calculate the radius

        v = 216 km / h (1000m / 1km) (1 h / 3600 s =

        v = 60 m / s

        r = v² / a

        r = 60² /0.588

        r = 6122 m

b) Let's calculate the speed, for a radius curve 1.80 km = 1800 m

        v = √a r

        v = √( 0.588 1800)

        v = 32.5 m / s

Acceleration is positive when you are speeding up.
Vikki [24]

Answer:

B Negative

Explanation:

Its negative because when your going 25 mph your moving faster and when your coming up to the stop sign you will start to slow down going 10 mph then 0 mph when you reach the stop sign so it will be negative.

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

  1/8

Explanation:

17,100 years is 3 times the half-life of 5,700 years. After each half-life, half remains, so the amount remaining after 3 half-lives is ...

  (1/2)(1/2)(1/2) = 1/8

1/8 of the sample remains after 17,100 years.

A bus is moving at a speed of 150km/hr. Begins to slow at a constant rate of 3.0m/s each second. Find how far it goes before sto
ladessa [460]

Answer:

Distance = 13.9 meters

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Maximum speed = 150 km/hr to meters per seconds = 150 * 1000/3600 = 41.67 m/s

Decelerating speed = 3m/s

To find the distance travelled with this speed;

Distance = maximum speed/decelerating speed

Distance = 41.67/3

Distance = 13.9 meters

Therefore, the bus would travel a distance of 13.9 meters before stopping.
