Liz rushes down onto a subway platform to find her train already departing. she stops and watches the cars go by. each car is 8.

60 m long. the first moves past her in 1.80 s and the second in 1.66 s. find the constant acceleration of the train.

The average velocity can be calculated using the formula:

v = d / t

For the 1st car, the velocity is calculated as:

v1 = 8.60 m / 1.80 s = 4.78 m / s

While that of the 2nd car is:

v2 = 8.60 m / 1.66 s = 5.18 m / s

 

Now we can solve for the acceleration using the formula:

v2^2 = v1^2 + 2 a d

Rewriting in terms of a:

a = (v2^2 – v1^2) / 2 d

a = (5.18^2 – 4.78^2) / (2 * 8.6)

a = 0.23 m/s

 

Therefore the train has a constant acceleration of about 0.23 meters per second.

Ann [662]

Answer:

The charges under study are of the same sign

The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges

Explanation:

Let's start by writing the equation for the electric field

          E = k q / r²

where q is the charge under analysis and r the distance from this charge to a positive test charge.

When analyzing the statement the student has some problems.

* The charges under study are of the same sign, it does not matter if positive or negative.

* The calculation of the electric field for each charge separately, there is no relationship between the charges for the calculation of the electric field.

* What is added is the interaction of the electric field with the positive test charge, in this case each field has the opposite direction to the other, so the vector sum gives zero

A particular balloon can be stretched to a maximum surface area of 1257 cm2. The balloon is filled with 3.1 L of helium gas at a
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

The ballon will brust at

<em>Pmax = 518 Torr ≈ 0.687 Atm </em>

<em />

<em />

Explanation:

Hello!

To solve this problem we are going to use the ideal gass law

PV = nRT

Where n (number of moles) and R are constants (in the present case)

Therefore, we can relate to thermodynamic states with their respective pressure, volume and temperature.

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2} --- (*)

Our initial state is:

P1 = 754 torr

V1 = 3.1 L

T1 = 294 K

If we consider the final state at which the ballon will explode, then:

P2 = Pmax

V2 = Vmax

T2 = 273 K

We also know that the maximum surface area is: 1257 cm^2

If we consider a spherical ballon, we can obtain the maximum radius:

R_{max} = \sqrt{\frac{A_{max}}{4 \pi}}

Rmax = 10.001 cm

Therefore, the max volume will be:

V_{max} = \frac{4}{3} \pi R_{max}^3

Vmax = 4 190.05 cm^3 = 4.19 L

Now, from (*)

P_{max} = P_1 \frac{V_1T_2}{V_2T_1}

Therefore:

Pmax= P1 * (0.687)

That is:

Pmax = 518 Torr
