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.

Whats the force of gravitation of a 10kg rock and 100kg boulder which are 5 meters apart​
spayn [35]

Answer:

F = 2.6692 x 10⁻⁹ N

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the rock, m = 10 kg

The mass of the boulder, M = 100 kg

The distance between them, d = 5 m

The gravitational force between the two bodies is proportional to the product of their masses and inversely proportional to the square of the distance between them. It is given by the formula

                                   <em> F = GMm/d²  newton</em>

Where,

                                 G - Universal gravitational constant

Substituting the given values,

                                 F = 6.673 x 10⁻¹¹ x 100 x 10 / 5²

                                 F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N

Hence, the force between the two bodies is, F = 2.6692 X 10⁻⁹ N
