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

By what factor will the Electrostatic Force between two charged objects change when the amount of charge on both objects doubles
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

F' = (4/9)F

Explanation:

The electrostatic force between two charged objects is given by Coulomb's Law:

F = kq₁q₂/r²   -------------------- equation (1)

where,

F = Electrostatic Force

k = Coulomb's Constant

q₁ = magnitude of first charge

q₂ = magnitude of second charge

r = distance between charges

Now, when the charges and distance altered as follows:

q₁' = 2q₁

q₂' = 2q₂

r' = 3r

Then,

F' = kq₁'q₂'/r'²

F' = k(2q₁)(2q₂)/(3r)²

F' = (4/9)kq₁q₂/r²

using equation (1):

<u>F' = (4/9)F</u>

If 50 km thick crust having an average density of 3.0 g/cm3 has a surface elevation of 2.5 km above sea level, what would you pr
RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

To calculate the predicted surface elevation of a 50km thick crust above a surface of 2.5km we are given a density of 3 gram per centimeter cube.

The displacement of the material will be calculated by subtracting the surface elevation of 2.5 km from the 50 km thick crust. Therefore 50-25= 47.5 km.

Thus let the density of the material be Pm

50*3= 47.5*Pm

Therefore: Pm= (50*3)/47.5= 3.16gram per centimeter cube

Thus with an average density of 2.8gram per centimeter cube

50*2.8= (50-x)*3.16

(50-x)= (50*2.8)/3.16

50-x=44.3

x=50-44.3= 5.7

Two parallel wires separated by a distance of 0.6 m each carry current in the same direction. One wire is carrying a current of
mart [117]

Answer:

The value is  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

  The distance of separation is  d = 0.6 \  m

  The current on the one wire is I_1 =  9 \  A

  The current on the second wire is I_2 =  4 \ A

Generally the magnitude of the field exerted between the current carrying wire is

        B  =  B_1 - B_2

Here B_1 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_1 = \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}

Here d_1 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_1 =  0.3 \  m

B_2 is the magnetic field due to the first wire which is mathematically represented as

         B_2  = \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

Here d_2 is the distance to the half way point of the separation and the value is  

    d_2 =  0.3 \  m  

This means that d_1 = d_2 = a =  0.3

So

     B =  \frac{\mu_o * I_1 }{2 \pi * d_1}  -  \frac{\mu_o * I_2 }{2 \pi * d_2}

=>  B =  \frac{\mu_o * (I_1 - I_2)}{2 \pi *0.3 }

=>  B =  \frac{  4\pi * 10^{-7}  * (9- 4)}{2 * 3.142  *0.3 }

=>  B =  3.33 *10^{-6} \  T

How many earths can fit on the moon
liberstina [14]
Hello My Dear Friend!

Do you mean Sun or actually Moon?

If Moon is what you're looking for...then that is absolutely IMPOSSIBLE, due to that the Earth is WAY bigger than the Moon, therefore, not even HALF of the Earth would fit into the Moon since it's too small XD.

But if it's Sun...well then, t<span>he Answer is that it would take </span>1.3 million Earths<span> to fill up the Sun. That's a lot of Earths LOL XD

</span>I Hope my answer has come to your Help. Thank you for posting your question here in Brainly. We hope to answer more of your questions and inquiries soon. Have a nice day ahead! :)

(Ps. Mark As Brainliest IF Helped!)

If izzy mass is 0.3kg he applide 657.9n force what will be the accelration​
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

The acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²

Explanation:

Given,

The mass of the body, m = 0.3 kg

The force acting on the body, F = 657.9 N

The force acting on an object is proportional to the product of mass and acceleration of the body.

                         F = m x a

Therefore, the acceleration of the body is

                           a = F / m

                              = 657.9 N / 0.3 kg

                              = 2193 m/s²

Hence, the acceleration of the body, a = 2193 m/s²
