A physics student is riding on a train traveling north. Having read about inertia, the student performs an experiment with a gol

f ball. He reaches over the aisle and drops the ball from rest. Instead of hitting the floor directly below the student’s hand, it hits to the north, i.e., forward of that position. Which of the following might be the cause for this to happen?
(A) The train is moving at constant
(B) The train is speeding up. veloeity
(C) The train is slowing down.
(D) Whatever the cause, it cannot be any of the answers given.

Answer:

(C) The train is slowing down.

Explanation:

Since the ball seems to move <em>forward, </em>the train is slowing down. This is because Newton's 1st Law, objects inside the train tend to keep their previous state of movement, that is, the velocity before the train start slowing down, thus appearing to move forward in relation with the train itself.

 it is just a matter of integration and using initial conditions since in general dv/dt = a it implies v = integral a dt 
v(t)_x = integral a_{x}(t) dt = alpha t^3/3 + c the integration constant c can be found out since we know v(t)_x at t =0 is v_{0x} so substitute this in the equation to get v(t)_x = alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} 
similarly v(t)_y = integral a_{y}(t) dt = integral beta - gamma t dt = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + c this constant c use at t = 0 v(t)_y = v_{0y} v(t)_y = beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} 
so the velocity vector as a function of time vec{v}(t) in terms of components as[ alpha t^3 / 3 + v_{0x} , beta t - gamma t^2 / 2 + v_{0y} ] 
similarly you should integrate to find position vector since dr/dt = v r = integral of v dt 
r(t)_x = alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t + c let us assume the initial position vector is at origin so x and y initial position vector is zero and hence c = 0 in both cases 
r(t)_y = beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t + c here c = 0 since it is at 0 when t = 0 we assume 
r(t)_vec = [ r(t)_x , r(t)_y ] = [ alpha t^4 / 12 + + v_{0x}t , beta t^2/2 - gamma t^3/6 + v_{0y} t ]

zmey [24]
<span>118 C The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is useful in calculating the boiling point of a liquid at various pressures. It is: Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) where Tb = Temperature boiling R = Ideal Gas Constant (8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ) P = Pressure of interest Hvap = Heat of vaporization of the liquid T0, P0 = Temperature and pressure at a known point. The temperatures are absolute temperatures. We know that water boils at 100C at 14.7 psi. Yes, it's ugly to be mixing metric and imperial units like that. But since we're only interested in relative pressure differences, it's safe enough. So P0 = 14.7 P = 14.7 + 12.3 = 27 T0 = 100 + 273.15 = 373.15 And for water, the heat of vaporization per mole is 40660 J/mol Let's substitute the known values and calculate. Tb = 1/(1/T0 - R ln(P/P0)/Hvap) Tb = 1/(1/373.15 K - 8.3144598 J/(K*mol) ln(27/14.7)/40660 J/mol) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K ln(1.836734694)/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 8.3144598 1/K 0.607989372/40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 5.055103194 1/K /40660) Tb = 1/(0.002679887 1/K - 0.000124326 1/K) Tb = 1/(0.002555561 1/K) Tb = 391.3034763 K Tb = 391.3034763 K - 273.15 Tb = 118.1534763 C Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 118 C</span>

1) Si un mango cae a una velocidad de 75m/s y tarda 26 seg. en caer. ¿ Cuál habrá sido la velocidad con qué el mango llegó al su
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

El mango llega al suelo a una velocidad de 329.982 metros por segundo.

Explanation:

El mango experimenta un movimiento de caída libre, es decir, un movimiento uniformemente acelerado debido a la gravedad terrestre, despreciando los efectos de la viscosidad del aire y la rotación planetaria. Entonces, la velocidad final del mango, es decir, la velocidad con la que llega al suelo, se puede determinar mediante la siguiente fórmula cinemática:

v = v_{o}+g\cdot t (1)

Donde:

v_{o} - Velocidad inicial, en metros por segundo.

v - Velocidad final, en metros por segundo.

g - Aceleración gravitacional, en metros por segundo al cuadrado.

t - Tiempo, en segundos.

Si sabemos que v_{o} = -75\,\frac{m}{s}, g = -9.807\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} y t = 26\,s, entonces la velocidad final del mango es:

v = v_{o}+g\cdot t

v = -75\,\frac{m}{s}+\left(-9.807\,\frac{m}{s} \right)\cdot (26\,s)

v = -329.982\,\frac{m}{s}

El mango llega al suelo a una velocidad de 329.982 metros por segundo.
