3. A train has broken through the wall of a train station. During the collision, what can be said about the force exerted by the

train on the wall?
a. The force exerted by the train on the wall was larger than the force the wall could exert on the train.
b. The wall cannot be said to "exert" a force; after all, it broke.
c. The force exerted by the train on the wall was the same in magnitude as the force exerted by the wall on the train.
d. The force exerted by the train on the wall was less than the force exerted by the wall on the train.

Answer:

c. The force exerted by the train on the wall was the same in magnitude as the force exerted by the wall on the train.

Explanation:

Newton's Third Law states that if a body exerts a force on another body, this body exerts a force of equal magnitude but in the opposite direction on the body that produces it. So, one body cannot exert a force on another without experiencing a force in itself.

A meter stick is held vertically with one end on the floor and is then allowed to fall. Find the speed of the other end when it
Tems11 [23]

Answer:

5.4 ms⁻¹

Explanation:

Here we have to use conservation of energy. Initially when the stick is held vertical, its center of mass is at some height above the ground, hence the stick has some gravitational potential energy. As the stick is allowed to fall, its rotates about one. gravitational potential energy of the stick gets converted into rotational kinetic energy.

L = length of the meter stick = 1 m

m = mass of the meter stick

w = angular speed of the meter stick as it hits the floor

v = speed of the other end of the stick

we know that, linear speed and angular speed are related as

v = r w\\w = \frac{v}{r}

h = height of center of mass of meter stick above the floor = \frac{L}{2} = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5 m

I = Moment of inertia of the stick about one end

For a stick, momentof inertia about one end has the formula as

I = \frac{mL^{2} }{3}

Using conservation of energy

Rotational kinetic energy of the stick = gravitational potential energy

(0.5) I w^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{mL^{2} }{3}) (\frac{v}{L} )^{2} = mgh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = gh\\(0.5)(\frac{v^{2} }{3}) = (9.8)(0.5)\\v = 5.4 ms^{-1}

The maximum speed limit on interstate 10 is 75 miles per hour. how many meters per second is this
Dvinal [7]

Answer:

<h2>33.53m/s</h2>

Explanation:

Given the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 as 75 miles per hour, to get the speed in meter per seconds, we need to convert the given speed to meter per seconds.

Using the conversion 1 mile = 1609.34m and 1 hour = 3600 seconds

75 miles perhour = 75miles/1 hour

75miles/1 hour (in m/s) = 75miles*1609.34m* 1 hour/1mile * 1 hour * 3600s *

= 75 *1609.34m* 1 /1 * 1 * 3600s

= 120,700.5m/3600s

= 33.53m/s

<em>Hence the maximum speed limit on interstate 10 in metre per seconds is 33.53m/s</em>

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.
erastova [34]

Complete Question

A large power plant heats 1917 kg of water per second to high-temperature steam to run its electrical generators.

(a) How much heat transfer is needed each second to raise the water temperature from 35.0°C to 100°C, boil it, and then raise the resulting steam from 100°C to 450°C? Specific heat of water is 4184 J/(kg · °C), the latent heat of vaporization of water is 2256 kJ/kg, and the specific heat of steam is 1520 J/(kg · °C).

J

(b) How much power is needed in megawatts? (Note: In real power plants, this process occurs under high pressure, which alters the boiling point. The results of this problem are only approximate.)

MW

Answer:

The heat transferred is  Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power is  P = 5866\  MW

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

      Mass of the water per second is m = 1917 \ kg

      The initial temperature of the water is T_i  = 35^oC

      The boiling point of water is  T_b = 100^oC

      The final temperature T_f = 450^oC

      The latent heat of vapourization of water is  c__{L}} = 2256*10^3 J/kg

      The specific heat of water c_w = 4184 J/kg^oC

      The specific heat of stem is C_s =1520 \ J/kg ^oC

Generally the heat needed each second is mathematically represented as

         Q = m[c_w (T_i - T_b) + m* c__{L}}  + m* c__{S}} (T_f - T_b)]

Then substituting the value

        Q = m[c_w [T_i - T_b] + c__{L}}  + C__{S}} [T_f - T_b]]

         Q = 1917 [(4184) [100 - 35] + [2256 * 10^3]  +[1520]  [450 - 100]]

         Q = 1917 * [3.05996 * 10^6]

         Q = 5.866 * 10^9 J

The power required is mathematically represented as

         P = \frac{Q}{t}

From the question t = 1\ s

So  

        P = \frac{5.866 *10^9}{1}

        P = 5866*10^6 \ W

        P = 5866\  MW

On a dry day, just after washing your hair to remove natural oils and drying it thoroughly, run a plastic comb through it. Small
Hitman42 [59]
When the surface of the comb rubs on your hair, the comb is electrically charged. When the comb comes close to the paper, the charge on the comb causes charge separation on the paper bits. Since paper is neutral, positive and negative charges are equivalent. The charge on the comb charges the area of the bit of paper nearest the comb to the opposite. Thus, the bits of paper become attracted to the comb.
