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

Which list ranks these jobs in the STEM career cluster based on years of schooling required, from most to least? Biochemist → Ar

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

The correct option is;

Biochemist → Archivist → Civil Engineer → Engineering Technician

Explanation:

1) Biochemist require the completion of a science degree or applied science degree, while biochemist usually hold a PhD to perform research independently, while entry level positions in the profession require a masters or bachelors degree

The PhDs usually require about 5 years to complete, after obtaining the masters degree

2) The general educational requirement to become an archivist is a master's degree in the fields of library science, history, public administration, political science, or archival science, which requires the completion of a bachelors degree followed by the completion of the masters degree which is thus 4 to 6 years

3) Civil engineer title is awarded to holders of a bachelors degree in Civil Engineering which gives the strong mathematical and science background required in the profession usually. The Civil Engineering program duration is five years

4) The engineering technician consist of 8.2% with masters degree, 42.0% have bachelors degree, while it is also possible to become an engineering technician with a GED or a high school degree

Therefore, the usual duration of study to become an engineering technician is two years of an associate degree program.

Suppose a certain jet plane creates an intensity level of 124 dB at a distance of 5.01 m. What intensity level does it create on

Zolol [24]

Answer:71 dB

Explanation:

Given

sound Level $\beta _1=124 dB$

distance $r_1=5.01 m$

From sound Intensity

$\beta =10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$124=10dB\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$12.4=\log (\frac{I_1}{I_0})$

$I_1=(1\times 10^{-12})\times 10^{12.4}$

$I_1=2.51 W/m^2$

we know Intensity $I\propto ^\frac{1}{r^2}$

$I_1r_1^2=I_2r_2^2$

$I_2=I_1(\frac{r_1}{r_2})^2$

$I_2=2.51\cdot (\frac{5.01}{2.25\times 10^3})^2$

$I_2=1.24\times 10^{-5} W/m^2$

Sound level corresponding to $I_2$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{I_2}{I_0})$

$\beta _2=10\log (\frac{1.24\times 10^{-5}}{1\times 10^{-12}})$

$\beta _2=70.93\approx 71 dB$

A block of mass 11.0 kg slides from rest down a frictionless 38.0° incline and is stopped by a strong spring with

ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

11.72 mm

Explanation:

The gravitational potential energy equals the potential energy of the spring hence

$PE_{gravitational}=PE_{spring}$

$mgh=0.5kx^{2}$ where m is the mass of object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, h is the height, k is the spring constant and x is the extension of the spring

$mgdsin\theta=0.5kx^{2}$ where \theta is the angle of inclination and d is the sliding distance

Making x the subject then

$x=\sqrt {\frac {2mgdsin\theta}{k}}$

Substituting the given values then

$x=\sqrt{\frac {2\times 11\times 9.81\times 3\times sin 38}{2.9\times 10^{4}}}= 0.117240716\approx 11.72 mm$

A mass is oscillating up and down on a spring. In the above graph of

melomori [17]

Answer:

<em>Amplitude= 8 m</em>

Explanation:

<u>The Amplitude of a Wave</u>

Sinusoidal Function refers to a mathematical curve with a smooth and periodic oscillation. Its name comes from the sine function and is characterized by the amplitude or the maximum displacement or distance moved by a point on a vibrating body measured from its equilibrium position.

To calculate the amplitude from a graph, we measure the maximum point and the minimum point the wave reaches. Then we subtract both values and divide the result by 2.

The shown wave in the figure has a maximum value of 8 m and a minimum value of -8 m. The distance from the maximum to the minimum is 8-(-8)= 16 m, thus the amplitude is 16/2= 8m.

Amplitude= 8 m
