A locomotive is pulling three train cars along a level track with a force of 100,000N. The car next to the locomotive has a mass

of 80,000kg, next one, 50,000kg, and the last one, 70,000 kg. you can neglect the friction on the cars being pulled.
A) what if the magnitude of the force between that the 80,000-kg car exerts on the 50,000-kg car?
B) what is the magnitude of the force that the 50,000-kg car exerts on the 70,000-kg car?

Answer:

<em>a) 60000 N</em>

<em>b) 35000 N</em>

Explanation:

Force from locomotive = 100000 N

mass of first car = 80000 kg

mass of second car = 50000 kg

mass of third car = 70000 kg

friction is neglected in this system

Total mass of the cars = 80000 + 50000 + 70000  = 200000 kg

All the car in the system will accelerate at the same rate since they are pulled by the same force

We know that force F = ma

where

a is the acceleration of the cars

m is the total mass in the system

from this we can say that

a = F/m

a = 100000/200000 = <em>0.5 m/s^2</em>

a) The total mass involved in this case = mass of the last two cars after the 80000 kg car =  50000 + 70000 = 120000 kg

therefore force exerted F = ma

F = 0.5 x 120000 = <em>60000 N</em>

b) The total mass in this case = mass of the third car only = 70000 kg

F = ma

F = 70000 x 0.5 = <em>35000 N</em>

If an object falls with constant acceleration, the velocity of the object must continually change by varying amounts, depending
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

continually change by the same amount each second

Explanation:

We all are aware  with the fact that a car speeds is increased when we put our feet  on the accelerator. The rate at which the particle's velocity change with time is called its acceleration. If the particle's velocity changes with constant rate, then its rate is called the constant acceleration.

Since the basic units are meter and seconds. And the SI unit of velocity is m/s and acceleration's SI unit is m/s^{2}

For example if the velocity is change from 2 to 4 m/s in 1 sec its acceleration is 2m/s^{2} and again its velocity is change with 4 m/s to 6 m/s will again give constant acceleration in 1 s is 2m/s^{2}.

A transverse, travelling wave on a chord is represented by = 0.22sin (5.6 + 34) where and are in meters and is in seconds. For t
Neko [114]

Answer:

A)  1.122 m

B)  5.4 hertz

C)  6.06 m/s ( towards negative  x axis )

D)  0.22

E)  max speed = amplitude * 34

                  = 0.22 * 34 = 7.48

  minimum speed ( speed at rest ) = 0

Explanation:

The travelling wave = D = 0.22sin ( 5.6x + 34t)

this wave is represented in the form : D = Asin ( kx + wt)

A) wavelength

k = 2\pi / v

v = wavelength

k = 5.6

therefore wavelength ( v ) from the equation = 2\pi / 5.6 = 1.122 m

B ) frequency

w = 2\pif

w = 34

f = frequency

therefore f = w / 2\pi  = 34 / 2\pi = 5.4 hertz

C ) velocity

speed = f v

v = 5.4 * 1.122 = 6.06 m/s ( towards negative  x axis )

D) amplitude

A = 0.22

E ) maximum and minimum speeds of particles on the chord

max speed = amplitude * 34

                  = 0.22 * 34 = 7.48

minimum speed ( speed at rest ) = 0
