A fugitive tries to hop on a freight train traveling at a constant speed of 5.2 m/s . Just as an empty box car passes him, the f

ugitive starts from rest and accelerates at a = 1.3 m/s2 to his maximum speed of 6.1 m/s , which he then maintains. How long does it take him to catch up to the empty box car? What is the distance traveled to reach the box car? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

16 seconds

97 m

Explanation:

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\dfrac{6.1-0}{1.3}\\\Rightarrow t=4.692\ s

Train has moved a distance of 5.2\times 4.692=24.3984\ m

s=ut+\dfrac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=0\times t+\dfrac{1}{2}\times 1.3\times 4.692^2\\\Rightarrow s=14.3096\ m

Fugitive needs to run 24.3984-14.3096=10.0888\ m to make up

Relative speed of fugitive 6.1-5.2=0.9\ m/s

Time taken

t=\dfrac{10.0888}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow t=11.209\ s

Time taken to catch the box = 4.692+11.209 = 15.901 seconds = 16 seconds

Distance traveled by the fugitive = 6.1\times 15.901=96.9961\approx 97\ m

A solenoid of length 2.50 cm and radius 0.750 cm has 25 turns. If the wire of the solenoid has 1.85 amps of current, what is the
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

13.875 T

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Length of solenoid, L = 2.5 cm = 0.025 m

Radius of solenoid, r = 0.75 cm = 0.0075 m

Number of turns, N = 25 turns

Current, I = 1.85 A

Magnetic field, B, is given as:

B = (N*r*I) /L

B = (25 * 0.0075 * 1.85)/0.025

B = 13.875 T

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

For infinite speed to be achevied, one must have no sink of energy to spend. The source of entropy in this example, is the tires hitting the surface, producing heat and friction. Not to mention that you'd still need fuel to start the car, and an infinite tunnel or track, which would be impossible and speed up to process of energy loss through entropy quicker.
