train engine of mass 4500 kg is connected by a rope to boxcar A. Boxcar A is connected by a second rope to boxcar B, which is co

nnected by a third rope to boxcar C. All boxcars have the same mass, 1500 kg. The whole train is sitting on a flat railroad track. The train engineer starts the train engine moving so that the tension in the first rope, between the locomotive and boxcar A, is 4000 N. How fast is the whole train accelerating

Answer:

The acceleration is a =  0.889 \  m/s^2

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The mass of the engine is m  =  4500 \  kg

The mass of each Boxcar is m_b  =  1500 \ kg

The tension between the locomotive and boxcar A is T  =  4000 \  N

Generally the tension between the locomotive and boxcar A is equivalent to the net force propelling the box cars so the tension is mathematically represented as

T =  F  =  M* a

Here M is the mass of the three box cars

=>       4000=  (3 * 1500)* a

=>         a =  0.889 \  m/s^2

Danny Diver weighs 500 N and steps off a diving board 10 m above the water. Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Danny hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

The Weight of Danny Diver,

F = 500 N

m*g= 500 N

He steps off a diving board 10 m above the water.

h=10 m

when Danny diver hits water he generates the kinetic energy.

We need to find the kinetic energy of the water.

Let kinetic energy is K.

K = m*g*h

Where g is acceleration due to gravity.

that g= 9.8 m/s^2

now substituting the values in above equation

K= (500) * 10

K= 5000 J

Hence,

he hits the water with kinetic energy of 5000 J.

Define , gravitational acceleration
Vitek1552 [10]
The simplest answer would be "acceleration due to gravity." 

The exact value of this acceleration changes depending on which planet your on (for example).

A car travels straight for 20 miles on a road that is 30° north of east. What is the east component of the car’s displacement
Over [174]

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides of a right angled triangle and its angles.

Let x represent the east component of the cars displacement.

Using trigonometric ratio:

cos(30) = x / 20

x = 20 * cos(30)

x = 17.3 miles

The east component of the cars displacement is 17.3 miles.

Answer:

Increasing the mass and decreasing the distance between the two objects.

Explanation:

An increase in mass will cause them to have a stronger pull or gravity. A decrease of distance will make it easier for the objects to fall into each other because they would be further into the other objects area of influence.
