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

A car moves in a circular motion and it is subject to a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the radius of the circular path
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = v^{2}/r

Thus, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. Thus, when radius will double, the centripetal acceleration will be halved.

What, exactly, is moving across the medium?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

So waves are everywhere. But what makes a wave a wave? What characteristics, properties, or behaviors are shared by the phenomena that we typically characterize as being a wave? How can waves be described in a manner that allows us to understand their basic nature and qualities?

A wave can be described as a disturbance that travels through a medium from one location to another location. Consider a slinky wave as an example of a wave. When the slinky is stretched from end to end and is held at rest, it assumes a natural position known as the equilibrium or rest position. The coils of the slinky naturally assume this position, spaced equally far apart. To introduce a wave into the slinky, the first particle is displaced or moved from its equilibrium or rest position. The particle might be moved upwards or downwards, forwards or backwards; but once moved, it is returned to its original equilibrium or rest position. The act of moving the first coil of the slinky in a given direction and then returning it to its equilibrium position creates a disturbance in the slinky. We can then observe this disturbance moving through the slinky from one end to the other. If the first coil of the slinky is given a single back-and-forth vibration, then we call the observed motion of the disturbance through the slinky a slinky pulse. A pulse is a single disturbance moving through a medium from one location to another location. However, if the first coil of the slinky is continuously and periodically vibrated in a back-and-forth manner, we would observe a repeating disturbance moving within the slinky that endures over some prolonged period of time. The repeating and periodic disturbance that moves through a medium from one location to another is referred to as a wave.

Iron combines with oxygen and water from the air to form rust. If an iron nail were
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

When iron rusts - in the presence of moisture and oxygen - iron-oxide is formed. Iron oxide is nothing but a compound of iron and oxygen. There is an increase in the mass of the iron equal to the mass of oxygen that has gone into forming the rust.
