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.

A 2 kg book is pushed from rest to a final velocity of 3 m/s. The book travels 2 m. How much force was the book pushed with
Studentka2010 [4]

Explanation:

first you have to find accelerarion, it is given that the initial velocity(u) is 3 m/s, distance travelled(s) be 2m finall it came to rest so final velocity be 0m/s

now using the 3rd law of motion

v^2=u^2+2as

0=9+2a2

a= -9/4m/s^2

now force=mass×accelration

=2kg×(-9/4)m/s^2

=4.5 N

4.5 newton force applied on the book!

✌️:)
