A railroad track and a road cross at right angles. An observer stands on the road and watches an eastbound train traveling at 60

meters per second. At how 70 meters south of the crossing. How many meters per second is the train moving away from the observer 4 seconds after it passes through the intersection?

Answer:

After 4 s of passing through the intersection, the train travels with 57.6 m/s

Solution:

As per the question:

Suppose the distance to the south of the crossing watching the east bound train be x = 70 m

Also, the east bound travels as a function of time and can be given as:

y(t) = 60t

Now,

To calculate the speed, z(t) of the train as it passes through the intersection:

Since, the road cross at right angles, thus by Pythagoras theorem:

z(t) = \sqrt{x^{2} + y(t)^{2}}

z(t) = \sqrt{70^{2} + 60t^{2}}

Now, differentiate the above eqn w.r.t 't':

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{2}.\frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 2t\times 3600

\frac{dz(t)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600t^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600t

For t = 4 s:

\frac{dz(4)}{dt} = \frac{1}{sqrt{3600\times 4^{2} + 4900}}\times 3600\times 4 = 57.6\ m/s

What is the relationship between the spring constant and the period in a mass hanging on a spring oscillation and why?
anygoal [31]

Explanation:

Period of a mass on a spring is:

T = 2π√(m/k)

T is inversely proportional with the square root of k.  So as the spring constant increases, the period decreases.

Arturiano [62]

The circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.

<h3>UF cable</h3>

UF cable is used as an underground feeder cable to distribute power from an existing building to outdoor equipment. UF cable can also be used as direct burial cable.

For the 24-volt branch circuit installed, the minimum burial depth will be 6 inches.

Thus, the circuit was installed in UF cable which requires a minimum burial depth of 6 inches for this circuit.

allochka39001 [22]
In order to get the propoerty of work you need to use the following formula
 <span>work = force times distance
</span>replacing data you will get:
W = (1.500) (3)
W =  4.500 NM
The answer should be in NM. So it will be 4500 NM againts the force of gravity
