Answer:

66.28 s

Explanation:

Step 1:

Acceleration,a= $0.065m/s^2$

Time,t=9.75 min= $9.75\times 60=585s$

1 min=60 s

Initial velocity,u= $3.4m/s$

We have to find the final velocity of train.

We know that

$v=u+at$

Substitute the values

$v=3.4+0.065(585)=41.425m/s$

Step 2:

Now, initial velocity,u=41.425m/s

Deceleration,a= $-0.625m/s^2$

Because the train velocity decreases

Final velocity, v=0

Again, substitute the values in the above formula

$0-41.425=-0.625t$

$-41.425=-0.625t$

$t=\frac{-41.425}{-0.625}$

$t=66.28s$

Hence, the train takes 66.28 s to come to stop from velocity 41.425m/s.

Answer:

3120J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

C = Specific heat capacity = 0.8J/g°C

Initial temperature = 20°C

Mass given = 5g

Final temperature = 800°C

Unknown:

Energy given to the mass = ?

Solution:

To find the energy given to the mass, let us simply use the expression below:

H = m c ΔT

H is the unknown, the energy supplied

m is the mass of the substance

c is the specific heat capacity

ΔT is the change in temperature

Input the variables;

H = 5 x 0.8 x (800 - 20) = 3120J

An engineer wishes to design a curved exit ramp for a toll road in such a way that a car will not have to rely on friction to ro

Dafna11 [192]

To solve this problem we will make a graph that allows us to understand the components acting on the body. In this way we will have the centripetal Force and the Force by gravity generating a total component. If we take both forces and get the trigonometric ratio of the tangent we would have the angle is,

$T_x = nsinA = \frac{mv^2}{r}$

$T_y = ncosA = mg$

Dividing both.

$tan A = \frac{v^2}{rg}$

$tan A = \frac{11.7^2}{50*9.8}$

$A = tan^{-1} (0.279367)$

$A = 15.608\°$

Therefore the angle that should the curve be banked is 15.608°

engineers are using computer models to study train collisions design safer train cars. They start by modeling an elastic collisi

Archy [21]

Answer:

The final velocity of the second car is 57 m/s south.

Explanation:

This is an elastic collision between two train cars. In this case, the total kinetic energy between the two bodies will remain the same.

The formula to apply is :

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

where ;

$m_1=mass of object 1\\v_1i=initial velocity object1\\m_2=mass of object2\\v_2i=initial velocity object 2\\v_1f=final velocity object 1\\v_2f=final velocity object 2$

Given in the question that;

$m_1=14650kg\\v_1i=18m/s\\m_2=3825kg\\v_2i=11m/s\\v_1f=6m/s\\v_2f=?$

Apply the formula as;

$m_1v_1i +m_2v_2i=m_1v_1f+m_2v_2f$

{14650*18}+{3825*11} = {14650 *6} + {3825 * v₂f}

263700+42075=87900 + 3825v₂f

305775 =87900 + 3825v₂f

305775-87900 = 3825v₂f

217875=3825v₂f

217875/3825 =v₂f

56.96 = v₂f

<u>57 m/s = v₂f { nearest whole number}</u>
