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 5.0 m/s. Once free of this area, it speeds up to 12 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. What is the final speed?

Answer:

26m/s

Explanation:

Assuming that the acceleration is constant, we can start by calculating the train speed when it's free of the congested area:

a = \frac{\deltav}{\deltat} = \frac{12 - 5}{8} = \frac{7}{8} = 0.875 m/s^2

Then with the same acceleration we can find out the final speed:

v = v_0 + at = 12 + 0.875*16 = 26m/s

What is the concentration of OH– ions at a pH = 6?
makkiz [27]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

1 × 10^-8 M

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>

pH is given by the -log[H+] while

pOH is given by the -log[OH-]

But;

pH + pOH = 14

Thus; if pH is 6, then pOH = 8

pOH = 8

-log[OH-] = 8

[OH-] = 10^-8 M

The concentration of OH- ions at a pH of 6 is 1 × 10^-8 M

Nuclear fusion has not yet been harnessed as an energy source because
maksim [4K]

Before getting an answer for it first we have to understand nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is a thermo-nuclear reaction in which two  light unstable nuclei will form a heavy stable nuclei. In this process there will be some mass defect which will be converted into energy as per Einstein's mass energy equivalence theorem.

The theorem is stated as E = mc^{2} where c is the velocity of light and m is the mass converted into energy.

One take an example of fusion in sun where 4 hydrogen atoms combine to form a helium nucleus which are explained below-

                                                      H_{1}^{1}+H_{1} ^{1} =H_{1} ^{2} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                      H_{1} ^{2} +H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{3} +energy

                                                      He_{2} ^{3}+H_{1} ^{1} =He_{2} ^{4} +e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

                                                       -----------------------------------------------------------------------

                                                        4H_{1} ^{1} = He_{2} ^{4} +2e_{+1} ^{0} +energy

Here e_{+1} ^{0} is the positron.

In this process very high temperature is needed which is approximately equal to the temperature of the sun i.e 10^{6} K

Such temperature is very difficult to initiate the reaction on the earth surface. It should be carried out in an sustainable way also .Otherwise It will cause nuclear hazards.
