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

How much work is done when you push a crate horizontally with 130
Harrizon [31]
Work= Force in the direction of displacement*displacement.

You know the force in the direction of displacement (horizontally) and the displacement. So,

W=130*11=1430 

Therefore, the work done is 1,430 Joules

Inertia law what happens when You are standing on the bus and the bus stops abruptly:
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

You will fly forward in the bus until you hit something.

Explanation:

While standing there on the bus, you are traveling at the same speed as the bus. If the bus suddenly stops, you will still be traveling at the same speed you started with. That is until you hit something hard enough or big enough to stop you.
