The added weight of the sand puts more downward pressure on the wheels contacting the rails, which would cause the trains speed to decrease.

If an object is thrown in an upward direction from the top of a building 160 ft high at an initial speed of 30 mi/h, what is
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

We can use  2 g H = v2^2 - v1^2    or

v2^2 = 2 g H + v1^2

Since 88 ft/sec = 60mph   we have 30 mph = 44 ft/sec

The object will return with the same speed that it had initially so the object

starts out with a downward speed of 44 ft/sec

Then v2^2 = 2 * 32 ft/sec^2 * 160 ft + 44 (ft/sec)^2

v2^2 = (2 * 32 * 160 + 44^2) ft^2 / sec^2 = 12180 ft^2/sec^2

v2 = 110 ft/sec

Juliette [100K]
Mechanical advantage of a machine is the ratio of the output force over the input force or M=Fo/Fi. Since M=1, Fi=Fo, or the input force is equal to the output force. This means that to raise the refrigerator that weighs 900 N, we need the same input force of 900 N, or Fo=Fi=900 N.
