The speed of a nerve impulse in the human body is about 100 m/s. If you accidentally stub you toe in the dark, estimate the time
vodomira [7]

Answer:

0.02 s

Explanation:

Take the (+x) direction to be up.  

The average velocity v during a time interval Δt is the displacement Δx divided by Δt.  

v=Δx/Δt

 =x_f-x_i/t_f-t_i                 (1)

We assume that your height is 1.6m  

Solving [1]

Δt=Δx/v

  = 0.02 s

Do all metals expand the same amount when heated??
ahrayia [7]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The rate at which solids expand when heated depends on the substance. Metals tend to have higher rates of expansion (per degree change in temperature) than non-metal solids, but there is variation even among metals. A table of expansion coefficients can be found here or here.

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track. T
zaharov [31]

a) The train collide after 22.5 seconds

b) The trains collide at the location x = 537.5 m

c) See graph in attachment

d) The freight train must have a head start of 500 m

e) The deceleration must be smaller (towards negative value) than -0.25 m/s^2

f) The two trains avoid collision if the acceleration of the freight train is at least 0.35 m/s^2

Explanation:

a)

We can describe the position of the passenger train at time t with the equation

x_p(t)=u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2

where

u_p = 25.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the passenger train

a=-0.100 m/s^2 is the deceleration of the train

On the other hand, the position of the freight train is given by

x_f(t)=x_0 + v_f t

where

x_0=200 m is the initial position of the freight train

v_f = 15.0 m/s is the constant velocity of the train

The collision occurs if the two trains meet, so

x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_pt+\frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0+v_ft\\25t+\frac{1}{2}(-0.100)t^2=200+15t\\0.050t^2-10t+200=0

This is a second-order equation that has two solutions:

t = 22.5 s

t = 177.5 s

We are interested in the 1st solution, which is the first time at which the passenger train collides with the freight train, so t = 22.5 seconds.

b)

In order to find the location of the collision, we just need to substitute the time of the collision into one of the expression of the position of the trains.

The position of the freight train is

x_f(t)=x_0 +v_ft

And substituting t = 22.5 s, we find:

x_f(22.5)=200+(15)(22.5)=537.5 m

We can verify that the passenger train is at the same position at the time of the collision:

x_p(22.5)=(25.0)(22.5)+\frac{1}{2}(-0.100)(22.5)^2=537.5 m

So, the two trains collide at x = 537.5 m.

c)

In the graph in attachment, the position-time graph of each train is represented. We have:

  • The freight train is moving at constant speed, therefore it is represented with a straight line with constant slope (the slope corresponds to its velocity, so 15.0 m/s)
  • The passenger train has a uniformly accelerated motion, so it is a parabola: at the beginning, the slope (the velocity) is higher than that of the freight train, however later it decreases due to the fact that the train is decelerating

The two trains meet at t = 22.5 s, where the position is 537.5 m.

d)

In order to avoid the collision, the freight train must have a initial position of

x_0'

such that the two trains never meet.

We said that the two trains meet if:

x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0' + v_f t

Re-arranging,

\frac{1}{2}at^2+(u_p-v_f)t-x_0'=0\\-\frac{1}{2}at^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0'=0

Substituting the values for the acceleration and the velocity,

0.05t^2-10t+x_0'=0

The solution of this equation is given by the formula

t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 0.05 \cdot x_0'}}{2(0.05)}

The two trains never meet if the discrimant is negative (so that there are no solutions to the equation), therefore

10^2-4\cdot 0.05 \cdot x_0'100\\x_0'>500 m

Therefore, the freight train must have a head start of 500 m.

e)

In this case, we want to find the acceleration a' of the passenger train such that the two trains do not collide.

We solve the problem similarly to part d):

x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}a't^2=x_0 + v_f t

Re-arranging

\frac{1}{2}a't^2+(u_p-v_f)t-x_0=0\\-\frac{1}{2}a't^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0=0

Substituting,

-0.5at^2-10t+200=0

The solution to this equation is

t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot (-0.5a') \cdot (200)}}{2(0.05)}

Again, the two trains never meet if the discriminant is negative, so

10^2-4\cdot (-0.5a') \cdot (200)

So, the deceleration must be smaller (towards negative value) than -0.25 m/s^2

f)

In this case, the motion of the freight train is also accelerated, so its position at time t is given by

x_f(t)=x_0 + v_f t + \frac{1}{2}a_ft^2

where a_f is the acceleration of the freight train.

Then we solve the problem similarly to the previous part: the two trains collide if their position is the same,

x_p(t)=x_f(t)\\u_p t + \frac{1}{2}at^2=x_0 + v_f t+\frac{1}{2}a_ft^2

Re-arranging,

\frac{1}{2}(a_f-a)t^2+(v_f-u_p)t+x_0=0\\\\\frac{1}{2}(a_f-0.100)t^2-10t+200=0

And the solution is

t=\frac{+10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot (0.5a_f-0.05) \cdot (200)}}{2(0.5a_f-0.05)}

Again, the two trains avoid collision if the discriminant is negative, so

10^2-4\cdot (0.5a_f-0.05) \cdot (200)0.35 m/s^2
