Answer:

a) 10 seconds

b) 100 meters

Explanation:

<u>Accelerated Motion </u>

If an object is moving at contant speed, we know it has zero net force applied. As soon as an unbalanced force appears, the object accelerates (positive or negative) depending on the direction of the force with respect to movement. The speed of an object subject to acceleration is given by

v_f=v_o+at

The distance traveled is given by

\displaystyle x=v_ot+\frac{at^2}{2}

a)

Our train is travelling at 20m/s when it decelerates at -2\ m/s^2 (negative for it's against movement). If nothing else happens, it will eventually stop (v_f=0). We can compute the time at which it happens :

\displaystyle t=\frac{v_f-v_o}{a}

Knowing\ v_f=0

\displaystyle t=\frac{-20}{-2}=10\ sec

b)

The distance traveled is

\displaystyle x=v_ot+\frac{at^2}{2}

\displaystyle x=(20)(10)-\frac{2(10)^2}{2}

\displaystyle x=100\ m

Ferns that eject spores generally do so in pairs, with two spores flying off in opposite directions. The structure from which th
Furkat [3]

Answer:

It cancels recoil.

Explanation:

For each action there is an equal an opposite reaction.

The principle of conservation of momentum tell us that if a single spore were ejected the fern would suffer a recoil from it. This recoil would take energy and speed from the spore. But if they are ejected in pairs the recoil is canceled and all the energy is transferred to the spores resulting in higher speeds.

A ball with an initial velocity of 8.00 m/s rolls up a hill without slipping. (a) Treating the ball as a spherical shell, calcul
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

Part i)

h = 5.44 m

Part ii)

h = 3.16 m

Explanation:

Part i)

Since the ball is rolling so its total kinetic energy in this case will convert into gravitational potential energy

So we have

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}I\omega^2 = mgh

here we know that for spherical shell and pure rolling conditions

v = R \omega

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

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 + \frac{1}{2}(\frac{2}{3}mR^2)(\frac{v^2}{R^2}) = mgh

\frac{5}{6}mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{5v^2}{6g}

h = \frac{5(8^2)}{6(9.81)} = 5.44 m

Part b)

If ball is not rolling and just sliding over the hill then in that case

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = mgh

h = \frac{v^2}{2g}

h = \frac{8^2}{2(9.81)} = 3.16 m
