Answer:

ns for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965. Various state and federal proposals have followed. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains (the Metroliner service in 1969), it failed to spread. Definitions of what constitutes high-speed rail vary, including a range of speeds over 110 mph (180 km/h) and dedicated rail lines. Inter-city railwith top speeds between 90 and 125 mph (140 and 200 km/h) is sometimes referred to in the United States as higher-speed rail.[1]

Amtrak's Acela Express (reaching 150 mph, 240 km/h), Silver Star, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service, Vermonter and certain MARC Penn Line express trains (all five reaching 125 mph, 201 km/h) are the only high-speed services in the country.

As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2031.[2]

A baseball is hit at ground level. The ball reaches its maximum height above ground level 3.0 s after being hit. Then 2.5 s afte

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

Part a)

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

$d = 8.86 m$

Explanation:

Part a)

As we know that ball will reach at maximum height at

t = 3 s

now we will have

$t = \frac{v sin\theta}{g}$

now we have

$3 = \frac{vsin\theta}{9.8}$

$v sin\theta = 29.4 m/s$

Now maximum height above ground is given as

$H = \frac{v^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

$H = \frac{29.4^2}{2(9.8)}$

$H = 44.1 m$

Part b)

Height of the fence is given as

$y = (vsin\theta) t - \frac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = (29.4)(5.5) - \frac{1}{2}(9.8)(5.5^2)$

$y = 13.48 m$

Part c)

As we know that its horizontal distance moved by the ball in 5.5 s is given as

$x = v_x t$

$97.5 = v_x (5.5)$

$v_x = 17.72 m/s$

now total time of flight is given as

$T = 3 + 3 = 6 s$

so range is given as

$R = v_x T$

$R = (17.72)(6)$

$R = 106.4 m$

so the distance from the fence is given as

$d = 106.4 - 97.5$

$d = 8.86 m$

Atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retain the original characteristics of the element. True or false

kozerog [31]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

Going even smaller than atoms would get you to subatomic particles such as quarks. From there, it is impossible to distinguish elements. So, yes, atoms are the smallest portions of an element that retains the original characteristic of the element.

A circuit component with a high resistance will have a low electric current.

Zepler [3.9K]

You haven't said what 'high' resistance or 'low' current means, so there's way not enough info to nail the statement as true or false. The most precise answer is "certainly could be but not necessarily". Anyway, the current in the circuit depends on BOTH the resistance AND the voltage. So without knowing the voltage too, you can't say anything about the current.

The 1.0-kg collar slides freely on the fixed circular rod. Calculate the velocity v of the collar as it hits the stop at B if it

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

6.21 m/s

Explanation:

Using work energy equation then

$U_{1-2}=T_B- T_A\\58d-mgh=0.5m(v_b^{2}-v_a^{2})$

where d is displacement from initial to final position, v is velocity and subscripts a and b are position A and B respectively, m is mass of collar, g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting 1 Kg for m, 0.4m for h, $v_a$ as 0, 9.81 for g then

$58(\sqrt{0.4^{2}+0.3^{2}}-0.1)-(1\times 9.81\times 0.4)=0.5\times 1\times (v_b^{2}-v_a^{2})\\19.276=0.5\times 1v_b^{2}\\v_b=6.209025688 m/s\approx 6.21 m/s$

What is physical change ?

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

A physical change is a change to the physical—as opposed to chemical—properties of a substance. They are usually reversible. The physical properties of a substance include such characteristics as shape (volume and size), color, texture, flexibility, density, and mass.
