Answer:
The shanghai maglev train is capable of reaching speeds of up to 217.48 in mph
217.48 mph
Explanation:
0.004 of something added to 0.12508 of the same thing
adds up to 0.12908 of it.
The thing could be a glass of water, a sheet of paper,
a pound of ground beef, a gallon of gas, or a snowball.
In this problem, it just happens to be a dm.
Answer:
A: The acceleration is 7.7 m/s up the inclined plane.
B: It will take the block 0.36 seconds to move 0.5 meters up along the inclined plane
Explanation:
Let us work with variables and set

As shown in the attached free body diagram, we choose our coordinates such that the x-axis is parallel to the inclined plane and the y-axis is perpendicular. We do this because it greatly simplifies our calculations.
Part A:
From the free body diagram we see that the total force along the x-axis is:

Now the force of friction is
where
is the normal force and from the diagram it is 
Thus
Therefore,

Substituting the value for
we get:

Now acceleration is simply

The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is directed up the incline.
Part B:

Which can be rearranged to solve for t:

Substitute the value of
and
and we get:
which is our answer.
Notice that in using the formula to calculate time we used the positive value of
, because for this formula absolute value is needed.
