A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/s2 for 20 s.

It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m before slowing down at 2.2 m/s2 until it stops at the station.
How much time does it take the train to go between the stations?
Express your answer using two significant figures. The answer is NOT 20s, as was answered and "verified" previously.

It accelerates from rest at 1.1 m/s^2 for 20s. 

<span>s = at^2/2 </span>
<span>s = (.5)(1.1)(20)^2= 220m </span>

<span>then it travels 1100m </span>

<span>Then it slows down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station. </span>

<span>Calculate the train's speed: </span>
<span>v = at </span>
<span>v = (1.1)(20) = 22m/s 
</span>
<span>Now, calculate the time to stop: </span>
<span>v = at </span>
<span>t = 22/2.2 = 10s </span>
<span>s = t(u+v)/2 </span>
<span>s = 10(0+22)/2 = 110m </span>

<span>(A) Total distance = 220 +1100+110 = 1430m </span>

<span>(B) Time = 20 + 1100/22 + 10 = 80s</span>

A 1000 kg elevator accelerates upward at 1.0 m/s2 for 10 m, starting from rest. a. How much work does gravity do on the elevator
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

a)= 98kJ

b)=108kJ

c) = 10kJ

Explanation:

a. The work that is done by gravity on the elevator is:

Work = force * distance  

= mass * gravity * distance

= 1000 * 9.81 * 10  

= 98,000 J

= 98kJ

b)The net force equation in the cable

T - mg = ma

T = m(g+a)

T = 1000(9.8 + 10)

T = 10800N

The work done by the cable is

W = T × d

= 10800N × 10

= 108000

=108kJ

c) PE at 10m = 1000 * 9.81 * 10 = 98,100 J  

Work done by cable = PE +KE  

108,100 J = KE + 98,100 J  

KE = 10,000 J

= 10kJ

=

An instrument is thrown upward with a speed of 15 m/s on the surface of planet X where the acceleration due to gravity is 2.5 m/
Katen [24]
<h2>Answer: 12 s</h2>

Explanation:

The situation described here is parabolic movement. However, as we are told <u>the instrument is thrown upward</u> from the surface, we will only use the equations related to the Y axis.

In this sense, the main movement equation in the Y axis is:

y-y_{o}=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (1)

Where:

y  is the instrument's final position  

y_{o}=0  is the instrument's initial position

V_{o}=15m/s is the instrument's initial velocity

t is the time the parabolic movement lasts

g=2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}  is the acceleration due to gravity at the surface of planet X.

As we know y_{o}=0  and y=0 when the object hits the ground, equation (1) is rewritten as:

0=V_{o}.t-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2}    (2)

Finding t:

0=t(V_{o}-\frac{1}{2}g.t^{2})   (3)

t=\frac{2V_{o}}{g}   (4)

t=\frac{2(15m/s)}{2.5\frac{m}{s^{2}}}   (5)

Finally:

t=12s
