Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

As air is heated, the particles speed up and spread out (becoming less dense). Hot air balloon pilots can change the balloon’s a
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Turn the heater on  

Explanation:

There are two main forces involved in a balloon flight

The downward force is the total weight of the balloon: the air it contains, the gas bag, the basket, the passengers, etc.

The upward force is the weight of the of the air the balloon displaces.

During level flight ,

buoyant force = weight of displaced air - total weight of balloon

If you increase the temperature of the air in the bag, the air molecules spread out and leave through the bottom of the bag.  

The balloon still has the same volume, so the weight of displaced outside air stays the same.

However, the balloon has lost some hot inside air, so its total weight decreases.  

The upward force is greater than the downward force, so the balloon rises.

A refrigerator is being pulled up a ramp with a horizontal force P, which acts at the top corner. The refrigerator has a mass of
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

(a) P = 459.055 N.

(b) the refrigerator tips.

Explanation:

Given, the angle of ramp is 20°.

When the weight of refrigerator is resolved in directions parallel and perpendicular to ramp, 75×g×sin(20°) and 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ normal contact force is 75×g×cos(20°).

⇒ frictional force is 0.3×75×g×cos(20°) = 207.414 N

so, total opposite force is 207.414 + 75×g×sin(20°) = 459.055 N.

so, the force needed is P = 459.055 N

And as the moment due to both opposite force and P force are in same direction the refrigerator tips rather than just sliding.

A 5.5kg radio is pushed across the table. If the acceleration is 5m/s to the right, find the net force exerted on the radio.
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.

Given:

Mass = 5.5 kg

Acceleration = 5 \frac{m}{s^{2} }

To find:

Force exerted on the radio = ?

Formula used:

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

Solution:

According to Newton's second law of motion,

F = ma

Where F = net force

m = mass

a = acceleration

F = 5.5 × 5

F = 27.5 Newton

Hence, Net force exerted on the radio is 27.5 Newton.

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of small vehicle compared to a large vehicle
Nadusha1986 [10]
The kinetic energy for a large vehicle is different from that of a smaller vehicle, assuming that the vehicles are travelling at the same speed and stopping the same distance. This is because for a larger vehicle the kinetic energy is higher, as the mass for a larger vehicle, is more than the smaller vehicle.
