A train, traveling at a constant speed of 25.8 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t
zhannawk [14.2K]

The final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

Answer:

Explanation:

So in this problem, the initial speed of the train is at 25.8 m/s before it comes to incline with constant slope. So the acceleration or the rate of change in velocity while moving on the incline is given as 1.66 m/s². So the final velocity need to be found after a time period of 8.3 s. According to the first equation of motion, v = u +at.

So we know the values for parameters u,a and t. Since, the train slows down on the slope, so the acceleration value will have negative sign with the magnitude of acceleration. Then

v = 25.8 + (-1.66×8.3)

v =12.022 m/s.

So the final velocity of the train after 8.3 s on the incline will be 12.022 m/s.

A paintball’s mass is 0.0032kg. A typical paintball strikes a target moving at 85.3 m/s.
vekshin1

Answer:

A)  If the paintball stops completely the magnitude of the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.273kg*m/s

B) If the paintball bounces off its target and afterward moves in the opposite direction with the same speed, the change in the paintball’s momentum is  p=0.546kg*m/s

C) A paintball bouncing off your skin in the opposite direction with the same speed hurts more than a paintball exploding upon your skin because of the strength exerted is twice than if it explodes.

Explanation:

Hi

A) We use the formula of momentum p=mv, so we have p=0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.273kg*m/s

B) We use the same formula above, then due we have a change of direction at the same speed, therefore the change in the momentum is the double so

p=2*0.0032kg*85.3m/s=0.546kg*m/s.

C) The average strength of the force an object exerts during impact is determined by the amount the object’s momentum changes. therefore

F=\frac{\Delta p}{\Delta t}, as we don't have any data about the impact time but we know momentum is twice, time does no matter and strength is twice too.

A square loop of wire lies in the x, y plane with opposite corners at (0, 0) and (a, a). The loop carries a current I directed t
Ket [755]

Answer:

Please refer to the figure.

Explanation:

The magnitude of the magnetic field can be found by Biot-Savart Law. We should divide the loop into four components. Each component has a similar solution but their directions are quite different.

The directions can be found by right-hand rule. Point your index finger into the direction of current, point your middle finger towards the target point (0,0,a). Your thumb will show you the direction of magnetic field.
