Answer:
Work done against gravity will be
W = Mgℓ
Explanation:
Work done to raise the mass from ground to given height is against gravity
So here work done is given by the formula
here we know that
it is the force due to gravity which is also known as weight
so here distance moved by the object is given as
d = ℓ
now work done is given as
W = Mg ℓ
Answer:
a) 17.49 seconds
b) 13.12 seconds
c) 2.99 m/s²
Explanation:
a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²
Final velocity = v = 85 km/h =
Initial velocity = u = 0
Equation of motion
Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.
b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s
Final velocity = v = 0
Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds
c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s
Time taken = t = 7.9 s
Final velocity = v = 0
Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
