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

Answer:

1.   3 m/s^{2}

2.   1.5 m/s^{2}

3.   3 seconds

4.   0 m/s^{2}

5.   2.2 seconds

Explanation:

(1)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=0 since it’s at rest, v=30m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {30-0}{10}=3 m/s^{2}

(2)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=10m/s, v=22m/s and t=8 seconds

a = \frac {22-10}{8}=1.5 m/s^{2}

(3)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=0m/s since at rest, v=15m/s and a=5 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {15-0}{5}=3s

(4)

When initial and final velocity are constant, there’s no acceleration as proven below

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making a the subject we have

a=\frac {v-u}{t}

Substituting u=20 since it’s at rest, v=20m/s and t=10 seconds

a = \frac {20-20}{10}=0 m/s^{2}

(5)

From v= u + at where v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time.

Making t the subject we have

t=\frac {v-u}{a}

Substituting u=9m/s since at rest, v=0m/s and a=-4.1 \frac {m}{s^{2}}

= \frac {0-9}{-4.1}=2.2s

Suppose that a particular artillery piece has a range R = 9880 yards . Find its range in miles. Use the facts that 1mile=5280ft
Solnce55 [7]

Answer:

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi

If you do it in steps

R = 9880 yd * 3 ft/yd = 29640 ft

R = 29640 ft / 5280 ft/mi = 5.61 mi
