A train moving with a velocity of 42.9 km/hour North, increases its speed with a uniform acceleration of 0.250 m/s^2 North until

it reaches a velocity of 160.0 km/hour North. What distance did the train travel while it was increasing its velocity, in units of meters? Give the answer as a positive number

Answer:

3658.24m

Explanation:

Hello!

the first thing that we must be clear about is that the train moves with constant acceleration

A body that moves with constant acceleration means that it moves in "a uniformly accelerated motion", which means that if the velocity is plotted with respect to time we will find a line and its slope will be the value of the acceleration, it determines how much it changes the speed with respect to time.

When performing a mathematical demonstration, it is found that the equations that define this movement are as follows.

\frac {Vf^{2}-Vo^2}{2.a} =X

Vf = final speed =160km/h=44.4m/s

Vo = Initial speed =42.9km/h=11.92m/s

A = acceleration =0.25m/s^2

X = displacement

solving

\frac {44.4^{2}-11.92^2}{2.(0.25)} =X\\X=3658.24m

the distance traveled by the train is 3658.24m

White raven [17]

The net force on the sled is 6.6 N pointing backwards, opposite to the direction it's sliding. That's why it's slowing down, and will eventually stop.

How are step up transformers used in the transmission of electrical energy
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

Transformers are used to increase or decrease the voltage of AC currents

Explanation:

A transformer is a device consisting of two coils (called primary and secondary coil) wrapped at the two sides of a soft iron core. When an AC current is present in the primary coil, it induces a magnetic field inside the core, and the presence of this changing magnetic field induces a voltage (and a current) into the secondary coil.

The voltages in the primary and the secondary coil are related by the transformer equation:

\frac{V_p}{V_s}=\frac{N_p}{N_s}

where

Vp, Vs are the voltages in the primary and secondary coil

Np, Ns are the number of turns in the primary and secondary coil

There are two types of transformers:

- Step-up transformers: these have N_s > N_p, so that V_s > V_p, which means that they increase the voltage. They are used to increase the voltage of the AC current produced by the power plants, before being sent into the transmission lines.

- Step-down transformers: these have N_s < N_p, so that V_s < V_p, which means that they decrease the voltage. They are used at the end of the transmission lines, before the houses, in order to decrease the voltage and allow the household appliances to work properly (in fact, household appliances need lower voltages to work)
