A train's velocity is slowly decreasing as it approaches a station. About 1 km before it reaches the station, several stowaways

jump off the train. What happens to the amount of acceleration if the force remains constant? Assume the train is traveling in the positive direction.

Answer:

Increases

Explanation:

From Newton's second law:

F = ma

If F stays the same and m decreases, then a increases.

Therefore, the magnitude of the train's acceleration increases (the acceleration becomes more negative).

What happens to the position of an object as an unbalanced force acts on it? Give an example.
Evgesh-ka [11]

Hi! I'm a few days late since I just saw this question just now, but I'll answer anyway.

Answer:

When an unbalanced force acts on a moving object, the velocity of the object will change. Change in velocity means a change in speed, direction, or both. For example, if you kick a soccer ball and it moves from one place to another, it means that unbalanced forces are acting upon it. The ball moves from one place to another after kicking it so the position changed.

A 185 g block is pressed against a spring of force constant 1.60 kN/m until the block compresses the spring 10.0 cm. The spring
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

d = 5.10 m

Explanation:

As we know that here on the plane of the inclined there is no frictional force

So in these cases we can say that total mechanical energy will always remains conserved

so here we can say that

spring potential energy = gravitational potential energy of the block

as we know from the formula

\frac{1}{2}kx^2 = mgh

now plug in the values in it

\frac{1}{2}(1.60 \times 10^3)(0.10)^2 = (0.185)(9.81)h

8 = 1.81 h

h = 4.42 m

now as we know that the angle of inclination is 60 degree and height raised is 4.42 m

so here maximum distance moved along the inclined plane will be

\frac{h}{d} = sin60

d = \frac{h}{sin60}

d = \frac{4.42}{sin60} = 5.10 m

A Doppler radar sends a pulse at
Rufina [12.5K]

Answer:

Explanation:

The problem is based on the concept of Doppler's effect of em wave .

Expression for apparent frequency can be given as follows

n = N x (V - v ) / ( V + v )

n is apparent frequency , N is real frequency , V is velocity of light  and v is velocity of cloud.

n = 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ - 8.52 ) / ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸ + 8.52 )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 3 x 10⁸ ) ( 3 x 10⁸)⁻¹ ( 1  + 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )⁻¹

= 6 x 10⁹ ( 1  - 8.52/3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹    - 6 x 10⁹x  8.52/ (3 x 10⁸ )

= 6 x 10⁹  1  - 170 .

So change in frequency = 170 approx.
