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

Two cylindrical rods, one copper and the other iron, are identical in lengths and cross-sectional areas. They are joined, end to
Pie

Answer:

Vc = 2.41 v

Explanation:

voltage (v) = 16 v

find the voltage between the ends of the copper rods .

applying the voltage divider theorem

Vc = V x (\frac{Rc}{Rc + Ri})

where

  • Rc = resistance of copper = \frac{ρl}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ = resistivity of copper)
  • Ri = resistance of iron = \frac{ρ₀l}{a}  (l = length , a = area, ρ₀ = resistivity of copper)

Vc =  V x (\frac{\frac{ρl}{a}}{\frac{ρl}{a} + \frac{ρ₀l}{a}})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ x (\frac{l}{a})}{(ρ + ρ₀) x (\frac{l}{a})})

Vc = V x (\frac{ρ}{ρ + ρ₀})

where

  • ρ = resistivity of copper = 1.72 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter
  • ρ₀ = resistivity of iron = 9.71 x 10^{-8} ohm.meter

Vc = 16 x (\frac{1.72 x 10^{-8}}{1.72 x 10^{-8} + 9.71 x 10^{-8}})

Vc = 2.41 v
