At the end of the Shock Wave roller coaster ride, the 6000-kg train of cars (includes passengers) is allowed from a speed of 20

m/s to a speed of 5 m/s over a distance of 20 meters. Determine the braking force required to slow the train of cars by this amount.

Answer:

56250 N

Explanation:

mass, m = 6000 kg

initial speed, u = 20 m/s

final speed, v = 5 m/s

distance, s = 20 m

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2as

5 x 5 = 20 x 20 + 2 a x 20

25 = 400 + 40 a

a = - 9.375 m/s^2

Braking force, F = mass x acceleration

F = 6000 x 9.375

F = 56250 N

ale4655 [162]

Answer:

16 m/s^2

Explanation:

acceleration tangential = (v^2)/r

a=400/25

a=16 m/s^2

Side note: next time, be more specific when asking about acceleration in circular motion. There's more than one type! Example:

angular acceleration=acceleration tangential/r

angular acc.=16/25

angular acc.=0.64 rad/s^2

An object is moving with a constant velocity of 278 m/s. How long will it take it to travel 7500 m, using the formula Delta X=Vt
rusak2 [61]
If the velocity is constant then the acceleration of the object is zero.
a=0 (m/s^2)
Thus when we apply the equation
\Delta X=vt+(at^2/2)
It remains
\Delta X =vt
or equivalent
t=(\Delta X/v) =7500/278 =26.98 (seconds)

Suppose you want to test the hypothesis that plants grow taller when they receive more sunlight. Identify and independent variab
ollegr [7]
The result that should be established is in the form
y = f(x) 
where x, the amount of sunlight is the controlled (independent) variable,
y =  height (growth) that corresponds to the amount of sunlight. Therefore y depends on x.

Clearly,
x, the amount of sunlight is the independent variable. It can be controlled.
y, the measured amount of growth is the dependent variable.

Answer:
The independent variable is the amount of sunlight.
The dependent variable is the growth.
