A very long train is rolling at 4 m/s along a straight track. An observer is standing on the ground very dangerously close to th

e train as moves past notices a person standing on top of a car. When the person on the car is 300 m from the observer, the person begins running toward the observer at 6 m/s.
A. Please write down the velocity vector equation for the person with respect to the ground.
B. How much time does the person take to reach the observer?

Answer:

A. \vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B.  t = 50 s

Explanation:

A. The vectorial equation of the person who is getting closer to the other person is:

\vec{r}=\vec{v}t

r: position vector

v: speed vector = 6m/s i  (if you consider the motion as a horizontal motion)

Then, you replace and obtain:

\vec{r}=(6\frac{m}{s})t\ \ \hat{i}

B. The time is:

t=\frac{d}{v}

d: distance to the observer = 300m

v: speed of the person on the car = 6.00 m/s

t=\frac{300m}{6m/s}=50s

Which of the physical variables listed below will change when you change the area of the capacitor plates (while keeping the bat
RSB [31]

Answer:

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

Explanation:

Let A be the area of the capacitor plate

The capacitance of a capacitor is given as;

C = \frac{Q}{V} = \frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} \\\\

where;

V is the potential difference between the plates

The charge on the plates is given as;

Q = \frac{V\epsilon _0 A}{d}

The energy stored in the capacitor is given as;

E = \frac{1}{2} CV^2\\\\E = \frac{1}{2} (\frac{\epsilon _0 A}{d} )V^2

Thus, the physical variables listed that will change include;

a. Capacitance

b. Charge on the plates  

e. Energy stored in the capacitor

65. A length of wire is bent into a closed loop and a magnet is plunged into it, inducing a voltage and, consequently, a current
natulia [17]

Answer:

Resistance of the second wire is twice the first wire.

Explanation:

Let us first see the formula of resistance;

R = pxL/A

Here L is the lenght of the wire, A the area and p is the resistivity of wire.

As we are given that the length of second wire is double than that of the first wire, hence the resistance of second wire would be double.

Since we have two loop in second case, inducing double voltage but as resistance is doubled so the current would remain same according to ohms law

I = V/R

3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

Action - Pulling up the train.

Reaction - Friction on the locomotive

Explanation:

Locomotive is pulling the train upwards ,

Which is the action force applied by the locomotive,

As a reaction locomotive will be pulled by the train which is the reaction of pulling

Now, considering it as a action on locomotive , friction force will act on it as a reaction upwards which will result to move it upwards.

For train action is pulling up by locomotive and reaction will be friction acting on it downwards.
