If the maximum acceleration that is tolerable for passengers in a subway train is 1.39 m/s2 and subway stations are located 780

m apart, what is the maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations

Answer:

The maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations is 32.93 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

maximum tolerable acceleration = 1.39 m/s²

distance between subway train, d = 780 m

The distance available to accelerate between stations = ¹/₂ x 780 m = 390 m

Apply the following kinematic equation to determine the maximum speed;

v² = u² + 2ad

v² = 0 + 2ad

v² = 2(1.39)(390)

v² = 1084.2

v = √1084.2

v = 32.93 m/s

Therefore, the maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations is 32.93 m/s.

How and why land and sea breezes form?
lisov135 [29]
Sea breezes occur during hot, summer days because of the unequal heating rates of land and water. During the day, the land surface heats up faster than the water surface. ... As the warm air over the land is rising, the cooler air over the ocean is flowing over the land surface to replace the rising warm air.

What causes waves to slow down: change in wave’s wavelength or change in its frequency and y?
Mashutka [201]

Answer:

Although the wave slows down, its frequency remains the same, due to the fact that its wavelength is shorter. When waves travel from one medium to another the frequency never changes.

madam [21]

Answer:

p = mv

Explanation:

  • The momentum of a body is defined as the product of its mass and velocity. Its physical symbol is 'p'.
  • The formula for momentum is given by

                               p = mv

         Where,

                                m -  the mass of the body in kg

                                v - velocity of the body in m/s

  • Therefore, the unit of momentum is expressed as the kg m/s
  • The momentum of a body is always associated with its motion. It is a vector quantity and it is directed in the direction of the velocity vector.
  • If a body is at rest, the momentum associated with the body is zero.
  • The momentum plays a significant role in the kinematics of the body. As similar to the energy conservation law, the total momentum of the body is conserved.
