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

Energy transformation, also termed as energy conversion, is the process of changing energy from one of its forms into another. In physics, energy is a quantity that provides the capacity to perform many works—think of lifting or warming an object. In addition to being convertible, energy is transferable to a different location or object, but it cannot be created or destroyed.


Energy in many of its forms may be used in natural processes, or to provide some service to society such as heating, refrigeration, lighting or performing mechanical work to operate machines. For example, in order to heat your home, your furnace can burn fuel, whose chemical potential energy is thus converted into thermal energy, which is then transferred to your home's air in order to raise its temperature.


In another example, an internal combustion engine burns gasoline to create pressure that pushes the pistons, thus performing work in order to accelerate your vehicle, ultimately converting the fuel's chemical energy to your vehicle's additional kinetic energy corresponding to its increase in speed.

The charge per unit length on a long, straight filament is -92.0 μC/m. Find the electric field 10.0 cm above the filament.
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C towards the filament

Explanation:

Electric field due to a line charge is given by the expression

E = [tex]\frac{\lambda}{2\pi\times\epsilon_0\times r}[/tex]

where λ is linear charge density of line charge , r is distance of given point from line charge and ε₀ is a constant called permittivity and whose value is

8.85 x 10⁻¹².

Putting the given values in the equation given above

E = \frac{92\times10^{-6}}{2\times3.14\times8.85\times10^{-12}\times10^{-1}}

E = 1.655 x 10⁷ N/C

A boy is whirling a stone around his head by means of a string. The string makes one complete revolution every second; and the m
Damm [24]

Answer

given,                                                

Tension of string is F                                                  

velocity is increased and the radius is not changed.      

the string makes two complete revolutions every second

consider the centrifugal force acting on the stone          

  = \dfrac{mv^2}{r}                          

now centrifugal force is balanced by tension

T =\dfrac{mv^2}{r}                                

From the above expression we can clearly see that tension is directly proportional to velocity and inversely proportional to radius.

When radius is not changing velocity is increasing means tension will also increase in the string.
