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

1. What is the bond angle between the hydrogen atoms in an ammonia (NH3) molecule? 2. What is the bond angle between the oxygen
Klio2033 [76]

The answer is 107 degrees. The geometric shape for ammonia is Trigonal Pyramidal, even though its electron geometry is “Tetrahedral”. This is because ammonia has a lone pair of electrons that occupy its space like the other 3 hydrogens in the geometric structure.

The answer 180 degrees. This is because of the linear geometric structure of carbon dioxide. The oxygen atom is on either side of the carbon atom, each is bound by a double covalent bond. All the atoms are involved in the bond and there are no one pair electrons.

The answer is tetrahedral geometry. This is because all the 4 valence electrons of the carbon are involved in a bond with a hydrogen atom. The angles in a tetrahedral geometric arrangement, such as in methane, is 109.5 degrees, where the hydrogen atoms are as far apart, from each other, as possible .

Why is the rock cycle really a cycle?
Naddik [55]
The rock cycle is a group of changes that describes the formation, breakdown, and reformation of a rock as a result of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic processes. All rocks are made up of minerals. Volcanic processes form extrusive igneous rocks. Extrusive rocks cool quickly on or very near the surface of the earth.

Sidana [21]

Answer:

<h2>254.56 m</h2>

Explanation:

       A object dropped from a plane from a certain height will follow a parabolic trajectory because it has a horizontal velocity equal to plane's velocity.

       So, if supplies are to be dropped from a plane from a height of 160 m, let us calculate the time it takes to reach the ground.

       H=\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}\\160=\frac{1}{2}\times10\times t^{2}\\t=\sqrt{32}=4\sqrt{2}\text{ }sec

       So, in this time, the supply moves a horizontal distance of (4\sqrt{2}\text{ }sec)\times(45\text{ }\frac{m}{sec})=180\sqrt{2}\text{ }m=254.56\text{ }m.

∴ The supply must be dropped when the plane is 255 m away.
