You are rushing to the train station to catch your morning commute. The train leaves the train station from rest with an acceler

ation of 0.6 m/s^2. You arrive at the station exactly 4.0 seconds after the train leaves and you immediately start running after the train with a constant velocity of 8.5 m/s.
a. How long after the train leaves the station do you catch up with the train?
b. How far from the train station do you catch up with the train?
c. With what minimum speed would you have to run in order to catch up with the train?

Answer:

a) t= 4.81 s,and t= 23.51.

b)d=6.88 m

c)v=4.8 m/s

Explanation:

Acceleration of train ,a= 0.6 m/s²

u = 0 m/s

Your speed ,V= 8.5 m/s

Lets take after t time he you catch the train

Distance travel by train in t time

d=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2

d=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 0.6\times t^2  ----------1

d= V ( t- 4)

d= 8.5 ( t- 4)  --------2

By equating equation 1 and 2

0.3 t² =  8.5 ( t- 4)

0.3 t² -8.5 t + 34 = 0

t= 4.81 s and t= 23.51

It means that you will catch train after t= 4.81 s,and t= 23.51.

t=23.51 sec means that you will catch the train after 23.51 sec also because acceleration of train is low.

Distance travel

d= 8.5 ( t- 4)

t= 4.81 s

d= 8.5 ( 4.81- 4)  m

d=6.88 m

Lets speed = v

0.3 t² =  v ( t- 4)

0.3 t² - v t + 4 v = 0

To have one solution

D=\sqrt{b^2-4ac}

D= 0 Should be zero.

v²- 4 x 0.3 x 4 v

v = 4 x 0.3 x 4

v=4.8 m/s

To test the quality of a tennis ball, you drop it onto the floor from a height of 4.00 m. It rebounds to a height of 2.00 m. If
arlik [135]

Answer:

Part a)

a = 1260.3 m/s^2

Part b)

Direction = upwards

Explanation:

When ball is dropped from height h = 4.0 m

then the speed of the ball just before it will strike the ground is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

v_1^2 - 0^2 = 2(9.81)(4.0)

v_1 = 8.86 m/s

Now ball will rebound to height h = 2.00 m

so the velocity of ball just after it will rebound is given as

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

0 - v_2^2 = 2(-9.81)(2.00)

v_2 = 6.26 m/s

Part a)

Average acceleration is given as

a = \frac{v_f - v_i}{\Delta t}

a = \frac{6.26 - (-8.86)}{12.0 \times 10^{-3}}

a = 1260.35 m/s^2

Part B)

As we know that ball rebounds upwards after collision while before collision it is moving downwards

So the direction of the acceleration is vertically upwards

Which of Newton's laws explains why satellites need very little fuel to stay in oribit?
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Sattelites don't need any fuel to stay in orbit. The applicable law is...."objects in motion tend to stay in motion". Having reached orbital velocity, any such object is essentially "falling" around the earth. Since there is no (or at least very little) friction in the vacuum of space, the object does not slow.... It simply continues.


Sattelites in "low" earth orbit do encounter some friction from the very thin upper atmosphere, and they will eventually "decay".

As the mass of an object increases so does its gravitational force. <br> a. True <br> b. False
vichka [17]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Gravity force is constant.

There some places on Earth that gravity has a variation, but in general, it is the same everywhere.

If you analyze the equation for the weight, which is the action of the gravity to mass, you'll see that W=mg, where m is the mass and g, is gravity.

If you increase the mass, what you are increasing is weight and not gravity.

Detailed Explanation:

1) Rusting of Iron

4Fe + 3O2 + 2H2O -> 2Fe2O32H2O

Reactants :-
Fe = 4
O = 3 * 2 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

Products :-
Fe = 2 * 2 = 4
O = 2 * 3 + 2 = 8
H = 2 * 2 = 4

2) Fermentation of sucrose…

C12H22O11 + H2O -> 4C2H5OH + 4CO2

Reactants :-
C = 12
H = 22 + 2 = 24
O = 11 + 1 = 12

Products :-
C = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12
H = 4 * 5 + 4 = 24
O = 4 * 2 + 4 = 12

Looking closely at the way I have taken the total number of elements on the reactants and products side, you can solve the rest.

All the Best!

Compare and contrast the front limb bones of a human and a bat.
riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer:

From the outside human arms, bird wings, and bats wings look very different. Humans are covered in skin, birds are covered in feathers, and bats are covered in hair. But on the inside there are many similarities among human, bird, and bat forearms. Did you know that humans, birds, and bats have the exact same types of bones in their forearm? These organisms share the same forearm bones because they all evolved from a common ancestor.

Human, bird, and bat forearm bones include the humerus, ulna, radius, carpals, metacarpals, and phalanges.

~i hope this helps~
