A red train travelling at 72 km/h and a green train travelling at 144 km/h are headed toward each

Physics

Answer:

  Collision will occur.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Explanation:

Speed of red train = 72 km/h = 20 m/s

Speed of green train = 144 km/h = 40 m/s.

Deceleration of trains = 1 m/s²

For red train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 20 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 20 - 1 x t

             t = 20 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 20 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 20 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 200 m

   So red train travel 200 m before coming to stop.

For green train:-

    Equation of motion v = u + at

              u = 40 m/s

              v = 0 m/s

              a = -1 m/s²

    Substituting

             0 = 40 - 1 x t

             t = 40 s.

    Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 40 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 40 - 0.5 x 1 x 40² = 800 m

   So green train travel 800 m before coming to stop.

 Total distance traveled = 800 + 200 = 1000 m>950 m.

  So both trains collide.

  Distance traveled by green train when red train stops(t=20s)

     Equation of motion s = ut + 0.5at²

              u = 40 m/s

              t = 20 s

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting

             s = 40 x 20 - 0.5 x 1 x 20² = 600 m

    Total distance after 20 s = 600 + 200 = 800 m< 950m . So they collide after red train stops.

  Speed of red train when they collide = 0 m/s.

  Distance traveled by green train when they collide = 950 - 200 = 750 m

  Equation of motion v² = u² + 2as

              u = 40 m/s

              s= 750 m

              a = -1 m/s²    

    Substituting  

              v² = 40² - 2 x 1 x 750 = 100

               v = 10 m/s

  Speed of green train when they collide = 10 m/s.

Which of the following statements is true? (A) The measured value for the pressure of a gas in a container is almost independent
Lana71 [14]

Answer:

The correct answer to the question is

Both A and B are true

Explanation:

The particles of a gas are free to move to occupy the entire volume in which they are placed due to the smallerinter molecular forces holding them together hence due to the face that pressure is a measure of the Force per unit area that is Pressure P = ( Force F)/ (Area A) then the force per unit area, exerted on the all of the container by the gaseous particles which are colliding with each other and with the walss of the container is fairly constant through out the surface oof the container

In the case of the liquid which are held on together by more stronger forces, the force per nit area exerted by the liquid particle is transmitted from one particle to the next until it reaches the container's surface. Then remembering that the force of gravity on the liquid is acting in one direction (that is downwards) the sum of the fprce due to the weight incrreases as we progress deaper into the liquid hence the pressure increases per unit depth

Participating in __________ can improve flexibility.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: Participating in all of the above can improve flexibility.

Explanation:

A practice that helps in improving or developing inherent power in order to bring peace and harmony to the body of a person is called yoga.

Yoga includes different postures that also help in providing flexibility to the body.

Pilates is another method of providing muscular strength and low impact flexibility to a human body.

Swimming also a good exercise that provides flexibility.

Thus, we can conclude that participating in all of the above can improve flexibility.

u are holding the axle of a bicycle wheel with radius30 cm and mass 1.05 kg. You get the wheel spinning at arate of 77 rpm and t
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

-5.9 rad/s^{2}

Explanation:

radius (r) = 30 cm = 0.3 m

mass (m) = 1.05 kg

initial speed (u) = 77 rpm

final speed (v) = 0 rpm

time (t) = 1.37 s

angular acceleration =\frac{(final speed-initial speed)rad/s}{time}

therefore

initial speed (U) = 77 rpm = 77 x (2π/60) = 8.06 rad/s

final speed (v) = 0 rpm = 0 rad/s

angular acceleration = \frac{0-8.06}{1.37} = -5.9 rad/s^{2}

A proton moves along the x-axis with vx=1.0×107m/s. As it passes the origin, what are the strength and direction of the magnetic
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Answer:

Magnetic field will be ZERO at the given position

Explanation:

As we know that the magnetic field due to moving charge is given as

B = \frac{\mu_0 qv sin\theta}{4\pi r^2}

so here we know that for the direction of magnetic field we will use

\hat B = \hat v \times \hat r

so we have

\hat B = \hat i \times (\hat i + 0\hat j + 0\hat k)

so magnetic field must be ZERO

So whenever charge is moving along the same direction where the position vector is given then magnetic field will be zero
