Question

A train is accelerating at a rate of 2 km/hr/s.  If its initial velocity is 20 km/hr, what is its velocity after 30 seconds?

Answer 1

Here it is. *WARNING* VERY LONG ANSWER

11) If Galileo had dropped a 5.0 kg cannon ball to the ground from a height of 12 m, the change in PE of the cannon ball would have been product of mass(m),acceleration(g)and height(h) 

The change in PE =mgh=5*9.8*12=588 J

12.) The 2000 Belmont Stakes winner, Commendable, ran the horse race at an average speed = v = 15.98 m/s. 

Commendable and jockey Pat Day had a combined mass =M= 550.0 kg, 

Their KE as they crossed the line=(1/2)Mv^2 

Their KE as they crossed the line=0.5*550*(15.98)^2 

Their KE as they crossed the line is 70224.11 J

13)Brittany is changing the tire of her car on a steep hill of height =H= 20.0 m 

She trips and drops the spare tire of mass = m = 10.0 kg, 

The tire rolls down the hill with an intial speed = u = 2.00 m/s. 

The height of top of the next hill = h = 5.00 m 

Initial total mechanical energy =PE+KE=mgH+(1/2)mu^2 

Initial total mechanical energy =mgH+(1/2)mu^2 

Suppose the final speed at the top of second hill is v 

Final total mechanical energy =PE+KE=mgh+(1/2)mv^2 

As mechanical energy is conserved, 

Final total mechanical energy =Initial total mechanical energy 

mgh+(1/2)mv^2=mgH+(1/2)mu^2 

v = sq rt [u^2+2g(H-h)] 

v = sq rt [4+2*9.8(20-5)] 

v = sq rt 298 

v =17.2627 m/s 

The speed of the tire at the top of the next hill is 17.2627 m/s

14.) A Mexican jumping bean jumps with the aid of a small worm that lives inside the bean. 

a.)The mass of bean = m = 2.0 g 

Height up to which the been jumps = h = 1.0 cm from hand 

Potential energy gained in reaching its highest point= mgh=1.96*10^-4 J or 1960 erg 

b.) The speed as the bean lands back in the palm of your hand =v=sq rt2gh =sqrt 0.196 =0.4427 m/s or 44.27 cm/s

15.) A 500.-kg horse is standing at the top of a muddy hill on a rainy day. The hill is 100.0 m long with a vertical drop of 30.0 m. The pig slips and begins to slide down the hill. 

The pig's speed a the bottom of the hill = sq rt 2gh = sq rt 2*9.8*30 =sq rt 588 =24.249 m/s

16.) While on the moon, the Apollo astronauts Neil Armstrong jumped up with an intitial speed 'u'of 1.51 m/s to a height 'h' of 0.700 m, 

The gravitational acceleration he experienced = u^2/2h = 2.2801 /(2*0.7) = 1.629 m/s^2

EDIT 
1.) A train is accelerating at a rate = a = 2.0 km/hr/s. 

Acceleration 

Initial velocity = u = 20 km/hr, 

Velocity after 30 seconds = v = u + at 

Velocity after 30 seconds = v = 20 km/hr + 2 (km/hr/s)*30s = 

Velocity after 30 seconds = v = 20 km/hr + 60 km/hr = 80 km/ hr 

Velocity after 30 seconds = v = 80 km/hr=22.22 m/s

2.) A runner achieves a velocity of 11.1 m/s 9 s after he begins. 

His acceleration = a =11.1/9=1.233 m/s^2 

Distance he covered = s = (1/2)at^2=49.95 m
