A high-speed ""bullet"" train accelerates and decelerates at the rate 4 ft/s 2 . Its maximum cruising speed is 90 mi/hr. (a) Wha

t is the maximum distance (in miles) the train can travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its cruising speed and then runs at that speed for 15 minutes? Maximum distance = miles

Answer:

23 mi

Explanation:

Let us first record all the values we have

acceleration = 4 ft/s

max speed = 90 mi/hr * 1 hr/3600s * 5280 ft/1 mi = 132 ft/s

We can use the equation of linear motion since acceleration is constant

distance covered = distance during acceleration + distance during costant

                                 velocity

s = \frac{v_{f} ^{2} - v_{i} ^{2}  }{2a}  + v_{i}t\\\\s = \frac{132 ^{2} - 0^{2}  }{2*4}  + 132*900\\s = 120 978ft

distance in miles = 120 978 ft * 1 mi/5280 ft = 22.9125 mi ≈ 23 mi

Help asap!! The resultant force on the box is
rodikova [14]

The resultant force on the box is C) 10 Newtons to the left.

Explanation:

The figure of the problem is attached.

We see that there are two forces acting on the box along the horizontal direction:

- A force of 10 N acting to the right

- A force of 20 N acting to the left

By taking "to the right" as positive direction, we can rewrite the two forces as follows:

F_1 = +10 N\\F_2 = -20 N

Where the second force is negative since it acts to the left.

Since the two forces are in line, we can find their resultant simply by calculating their algebraic sum. By doing so, we find:

F=F_1 + F_2 = +10 + (-20) = -10 N

And the negative sign tells us that the direction is to the left.

Therefore, the correct answer is

C) 10 Newtons to the left.

Pls ans 10 no. From laws of motion
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

40N

Explanation:

Since both weights are connected to one string, you can say that the tensions above each are equal to each other.

If you do the sum of forces for the 4kg mass, then the tension comes out to 40N (if we take gravity to be 10m/s²). But that seemed too good to be true, so I decided to do the work for the 7kg mass as well [which included finding the normal force (N) and plugging it into the sum of forces for the 7kg mass] to find that it also gives 40N as the answer.

If I were to put my process into steps:

  1. Write out the sum of Forces for both masses
  2. Set them equal to each other to find normal force (because this is the only unknown)
  3. Calculate and compare the two tensions to see if they are equal

*This all seems to line up perfectly, but do let me know if my answer doesn't match up with what you might find to he the answer later on.

When running on its 11.4 V battery, a laptop computer uses 8.3 W. The computer can run on battery power for 8.5 h before the bat
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The laptop battery is capable of supplying 253980 J.

Explanation:

Given;

voltage of the battery, V = 11.4 V

power consumed by the laptop, P = 8.3 W

duration of the battery before depletion, t = 8.5 hours

Determine the amount of energy supplied by the laptop battery within 8.5 hours.

Energy, E = Power x time

Energy, E = 8.3 W x 8.5 h = 70.55 Wh

Energy, E in joules = 70.55 wh x 3600 s/h = 253980 J

Therefore, the amount of energy supplied by the laptop battery within 8.5 hours is 253980 J.

At 7.0°c, the volume of a gas is 49 ml. at the same pressure, its volume is 74 ml at what temperature?
Rashid [163]
So i converted everything first; 
<span>7.0 C ---> 280 K </span>
<span>49 mL---> 0.049 L </span>
<span>74mL---> 0.074 L </span>
<span>THEN I tried setting it up by the combined law formula which is P1V1/T1=P2V2/T2 </span>

In your own words explain why the thickness and length of a wire could effect the flow of electrons​
agasfer [191]

Answer:

(you can use my exact words) The length and thickness would make it so that the electrons move differently than they would a shorter and thinner wire because with the wire being longer the electrons would have a longer trip and with the wire being thicker the electrons would be more spread out and move be able to move more freely
