A train slows down as it rounds a sharp horizontal turn, going from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h in the 17.0 s that it takes to round

the bend. The radius of the curve is 140 m. Compute the acceleration at the moment the train speed reaches 46.0 km/h. Assume the train continues to slow down at this time at the same rate.

Answer:

1.41 m/s^2

Explanation:

First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:

u = 94.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h} = 26.1 m/s

v=46.0 km/h \cdot \frac{1000 m/km}{3600 s/h}=12.8 m/s

Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

where

v = 12.8 m/s is the speed

r = 140 m is the radius of the curve

Substituting values, we find

a_c=\frac{(12.8 m/s)^2}{140 m}=1.17 m/s^2

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

a_t = \frac{v-u}{t}

where

t = 17.0 s

Substituting values,

a_t=\frac{12.8 m/s-26.1 m/s}{17.0 s}=-0.78 m/s^2

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

a=\sqrt{a_c^2+a_t^2}=\sqrt{(1.17 m/s^2)+(-0.78 m/s^2)}=1.41 m/s^2

Answer:

a = 1.406 m/s²

Explanation:

We are told that, the speed of the train decreases from 94.0 km/h to 46.0 km/h

Let's convert both to m/s.

Thus,

v1 =94 km/h =(94 x 10)/36 =26.11 m/s

v2=46 km/h =(46 x 10)/36=12.78 m/s

The formula to calculate the tangential acceleration is given by;

a_t = -dv/dt

Where;

dv is change in velocity

dt is time difference

dv is calculated as; dv = v1 - v2

Thus, dv = 26.11 - 12.78 = 13.33 m/s

We are given that, t = 17 seconds

Thus;

a_t = -13.33/17 = -0.784 m/s²

The negative sign implies that the acceleration is inwards.

Now, let's calculate the radial acceleration;

a_r = v²/r

Where;

r is the radius of the path = 140m

v is the velocity at the instant given

a_r is radial acceleration.

Thus,

a_r = 12.78²/140 = 1.167 m/s²

Now, the tangential and radial components of acceleration are perpendicular to each other. Thus, we can use using Pythagoreas theorem to find the resultant acceleration;

Thus;

a² = (a_t)² + (a_r)²

Plugging in the relevant values, we have;

a² = (-0.784)² + (1.167)²

a² = 1.976545

a = √1.976545

a = 1.406 m/s²

Stop lamps must be visible within____ to the rear
Charra [1.4K]
The answer is 300 feet. The stop lamp or lamps on the rear of a vehicle must show a red light that is set in motion upon application of the service or foot brake and, in a vehicle manufactured or assembled on or after January 1, 1964, must be visible from a distance of not less than 300 feet to the rear in normal sunlight. Take note, if the vehicle is manufactured or assembled January 1, 1964, the stop lamp or lamps must be visible from a distance of not less than 100 feet. Also, the stop lamp may be combined with one or more other rear lamps.

If two connected points objects pass through the same set of three points, the shapes created by each will be identical, regardl
NeX [460]

Answer:

This is false

Explanation:

This is why the answer to this question is false. If these types of objects (2 points connected) should pass through same sets of 3 points, irrespective of the order that each object was plotted, we will not get identical shapes created.

The shape that is going to be created will be dependent on the pattern/order that was involved in the plotting. If it was identical, then we will have identical shapes. But if the order during plotting is different then we will have different shapes created.

Thank you!

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

At time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.

Explanation:

Let h be the height at which this occurs and t be the time after second bullet fires.

Distance traveled by first bullet can be calculated using equation of motion

s=ut+0.5at^2 \\

Here s = h,u = 450m/s a = -g and t = t+3

Substituting

h=450(t+3)-0.5\times 9.81\times (t+3)^2=450t+1350-4.9t^2-29.4t-44.1\\\\h=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9

Distance traveled by second bullet

Here s = h,u = 600m/s a = -g and t = t

Substituting

h=600t-0.5\times 9.81\times t^2=600t-4.9t^2\\\\h=600t-4.9t^2 \\

Solving both equations

600t-4.9t^2=420.6t-4.9t^2+1305.9\\\\179.4t=1305.9\\\\t=7.28s \\

So at time 10.28 s after A is fired bullet B passes A.

Height at t = 7.28 s

h=600\times 7.28-4.9\times 7.28^2\\\\h=4108.31m \\

Passing of B occurs at 4108.31 height.
