Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

(and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0 m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 13 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed?

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

from the question you van see that some detail is missing, however i found this same question using internet search engines on: 'https://www.chegg.com/homework-help/questions-and-answers/light-rail-passenger-trains-provide-transportation-within-cities-speed-slow-nearly-constan-q5808369'

here is the complete question:

'Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant (and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 12m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. What is the final Speed?'

SOLUTION

initial speed (u) = 7 m/s

final speed (v) = 13 m/s

initial acceleration time (t1) = 8 s

final acceleration time (t2) = 16 s

what is the higher cruising speed?

acceleration = \frac{final speed (v) - initial speed(u)}{time (t1)}

acceleration = \frac{13-7}{8} = 0.75 m/s^{2}

since the train accelerates at the same rate, the increase in  speed will be = acceleration x time (t2)

= 0.75 x 16 = 12 m/s

therefore the higher cruising speed = increase in speed + initial speed

= 12 + 13 = 25 m/s

If an object suspended by a scale shows a weight of 3 N in air, and 2 N when submerged in water, the buoyant force on the submer
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

1 N

Explanation:

Buoyant Force: This is also called upthrust, It can be defined as the force which act upward exerted by a fluid when an object is placed in it.

The S.I unit is Newton.

From the question,

Buoyant force = Weight of the object in air- weight of the object when submerged in water.

U = W-W'.......................... Equation 1

Where U = upthrust, W = weight in air, W' = weight when submerged in water.

Given: W = 3 N, W' = 2 N

Substitute into equation 1

U = 3-2

W = 1 N
