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

Eddi Din [679]

Explanation:

For a charge concentrated nearly at a point, the electric field is directly proportional to the amount of charge; it is inversely proportional to the square of the distance radially away from the centre of the source charge and depends also upon the nature of the medium.
