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.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.
Monica [59]
If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.

Two subway stops are separated by 1210 m. If a subway train accelerates at 1.30 m/s2 from rest through the first half of the dis
solong [7]

Answer:

Part 1) Time of travel equals 61 seconds

Part 2) Maximum speed equals 39.66 m/s.

Explanation:

The final speed of the train when it completes half of it's journey is given by third equation of kinematics as

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

where

'v' is the final speed

'u' is initial speed

'a' is acceleration of the body

's' is the distance covered

Applying the given values we get

v^2=0+2\times 1.30\times \frac{1210}{2}\\\\v^{2}=1573\\\\\therefore v=39.66m/s

Now the time taken to attain the above velocity can be calculated by the first equation of kinematics as

v=u+at\\\\v=0+1.30\times t\\\\\therefore t=\frac{39.66}{1.30}=30.51seconds

Since the deceleration is same as acceleration hence the time to stop in the same distance shall be equal to the time taken to accelerate the first half of distance

Thus total time of journey equalsT=2\times 30.51\approx61seconds

Part b)

the maximum speed is reached at the point when the train ends it's acceleration thus the maximum speed reached by the train equals 39.66m/s

Novay_Z [31]

Answer:

Explanation:18kt alloy contains

i) 75% of gold

rhogold=19.3g/cm^3

=75/100×19.3

=14.475g/cm^3

ii) 16% of silver

rhosilver=10.5g/cm^3

=16/100×10.5

=1.68g/cm^3

iii) 9% of copper

rhocopper =8.90g/cm^3

=9/100×8.9

=0.801g/cm^3

Overall density of 18kt gold

=(0.801+1.68+14.475)g/cm^3

=16.956g/cm^3

=17g/cm^3 to 3s.f

Peak wavelength of light coming from a star with a temp of 4300k
PSYCHO15rus [73]

from Wein's law

\frac{k}{ \lambda_{max} }  = T \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{k}{T}  \\ \lambda_{max} =  \frac{3.898 \times  {10}^{ - 3} }{4300}   \\  = 9.065 \times  {10}^{ - 7}
