Answer: 29.50 m
Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:
f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction multiply the normal force (m*g).
f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a
then
a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2
With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train
as follows:
x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2
Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a
Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m
Answer:
the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m
Explanation:
Given;
speed of the wave, v = 1500 m/s
time of motion of the wave, t = 15 s
The time taken to receive the echo is calculated as;

Therefore, the distance between the submarine and the ocean floor is 11,250 m
You should note that the melting point of mercury is -38.83°C, while the boiling point is at 356.7°C. Then, that means that there is no latent heat involved here. We only compute for the sensible heat.
ΔH = mCpΔT
The Cp of mercury is 0.14 J/g·°C
Thus,
ΔH = (411 g)(0.14 J/g·°C)(88 - 12°C)
<em>ΔH = 4,373.04 J</em>
