The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.480 with the floor. If

the train is initially moving at a speed of 61.0 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:30.50 m

Explanation:

Given

coefficient of friction between railroad and crates \mu =0.48

Train initial velocity (u)=61 kmph \approx 16.94 m/s

To get the shortest distance brakes applied should be order of friction force between crates and railroad floor

a=\mu g=0.48\times 9.8=4.704 m/s^2

using v^2-u^2=2as

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration or deceleration

s=distance

here v=0 , u=16.94 m/s

0-(16.94)^2=2\times (-4.704)\times s

s=\frac{(16.94)^2}{2\times 4.704}

s=30.502 m

Answer:

0.915 Nm

Explanation:

1 revolution = 2π rad

We can use the following equation of motion to find out the acceleration acting on the disk

\omega^2 - \omega_0^2 = 2\alpha\Delta \theta

where \omega v = 2.5 rad/s is the final angular velocity of the disk, [tex]\omega_0 = 0 rad/s is the initial velocity of the can when it starts from rest, \Delta \theta is the angular distance traveled, \alpha is the angular acceleration of the disk, which we care looking for:

2.5^2 - 0 = 2*\alpha*2\pi

\alpha = \frac{2.5^2}{2*2\pi} \approx 0.5 rad/s^2

The moment of inertia of the solid disk is:

I = \frac{1}{2}mR^2 = \frac{1}{2}19*0.44^2 = 1.8392 kgm^2

where m is the mass and R is the radius of the disk

The net torque applied is

T = \alpha*I = 0.5 * 1.8392 = 0.915 Nm

Explanation:

he first PLCs were programmed with a technique that was based on relay logic wiring schematics. This eliminated the need to teach the electricians, technicians and engineers how to program a computer - but, this method has stuck and it is the most common technique for programming PLCs today.

Why should the substage condenser not be included in computing the magnification?
Leni [432]
The reason as to why the substage condenser does not need to be included in computing the magnification and the only component needed is the ocular lens and the objective lenses is because the condenser is only responsible for gathering light and it does not contribute with the magnification of the object under the microscope.

Approximately how much air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere?
laila [671]

Approximately 101 N air is in a column 1-cm2 in cross-section that extends from sea level to the top of the atmosphere

The basic level for determining height and depth on Earth is the sea level. The ocean's surface tends to seek the same level since it is one continuous body of water. However, the sea level is never fully level due to winds, currents, river discharges, and changes in gravity and temperature.

At the equator, the radius of the Earth at sea level is 6378.137 km (3963.191 mi). At the poles, it is 6,356.752 km (3,949.903 km), and on average, it is 6,371.001 km (3,958.756 mi). The elevation of the shoreline—the boundary between the ocean and the land—is referred to as sea level. Land that is higher than this altitude is above sea level, and land that is lower is below sea level.
