A train has a length of 81.1 m and starts from rest with a constant acceleration at time t = 0 s. At this instant, a car just re

aches the end of the train. The car is moving with a constant velocity. At a time t = 11.6 s, the car just reaches the front of the train. Ultimately, however, the train pulls ahead of the car, and at time t = 36.3 s, the car is again at the rear of the train. Find the magnitudes of (a) the car's velocity and (b) the train's acceleration. g

Answer: a) vcar= 7 m/s ; b) a train= 0.65 m/s^2

Explanation: By using the kinematic equation for the car and the train we can determine the above values of the car velocity and the acceletarion of the train, respectively.

We have for the car

distance = v car* t, considering the length of train (81.1 m) travel by the car during the first 11.6 s

the v car =  distance/time= 81.1 m/11.6s= 7 m/s

In order to calculate the acceleration we have to use the kinematic equation for the train from the rest

distance train = (a* t^2)/2

distance train : distance travel by the car at constant speed

so distance train= (vcar*36.35)m=421 m

the a traiin= (2* 421 m)/(36s)^2=0.65 m/s^2

Which items are matter?
Mumz [18]
Without being provided a list of items, I would have to generally say that everything around you is matter. There are a few exceptions to this list, but a general rule of thumb is anything you can touch, taste, smell or hold would be considered matter. Sound, light, time (Dr. Who may disagree) and heat would be considered non-matter items.

An adult elephant has a mass of about 5.0 tons. An adult elephant shrew has a mass of about 50 grams. How far r from the center
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

Answer:

2023857702.507m

Explanation:

f=\frac{GMm}{r^{2} }

recall from newton's law of gravitation

G=gravitational constant

mshew=50g

melephant=5*10^3kg

rearth=radius of the earth 6400km or 6400000m

mearth= masss of the earth

Gm(shrew)m(earth)/r(earth)^2 = Gm(elephant)m(earth)/r^2

strike out the left hand side and right hand side variables

m(shrew)/r(earth)^2 = m(elephant)/r^2

r^2 = m(elephant).r(earth)^2 / m(shrew)       .........make r^2 the subject of the equation

r^2=(5*10^{3} *(6400000)^{2} )/.05

r^2=40960000000000

r=2023857702.507m
