A train 471 m long is moving on a straight track with a speed of 75.1 km/h. The engineer applies the brakes at a crossing, and l

ater the last car passes the crossing with a speed of 15 km/h. Assuming constant acceleration, determine how long the train blocked the crossing. Disregard the width of the crossing. Answer in units of s.

Answer:

t = 37.6 s

Explanation:

As we know that train is initially moving with the speed

v_i = 75.1 km/h

now we know that

v_i = 20.86 m/s

now the final speed of the train when it crossed the crossing

v_f = 15 km/h

v_f = 4.17 m/s

now we can use kinematics here

v_f^2 - v_i^2 = 2 a d

4.17^2 - 20.86^2 = 2 a(471)

a = -0.44 m/s^2

Now the time to cross that junction is given as

v_f - v_i = at

4.17 - 20.86 = a(-0.44)

t = 37.6 s

Answer: Bohr's model (1913)

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles.

  Niels Bohr improved Rutherford's model. Using mathematical ideas, he showed that electrons occupy shells or energy levels around the nucleus. The Dalton model has changed over time because of the discovery of subatomic particles

  Dalton's atomic theory proposed that all matter was composed of atoms, indivisible and indestructible building blocks. While all atoms of an element were identical, different elements had atoms of differing size and mass.

  John Dalton

The idea that everything is made of atoms was pioneered by John Dalton (1766-1844) in a book he published in 1808. He is sometimes called the "father" of atomic theory, but judging from this photo on the right "grandfather" might be a better term.

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.

7. A 1.0 kg metal head of a geology hammer strikes a solid rock with a velocity of 5.0 m/s. Assuming all the energy is retained
marta [7]

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.

The given parameters:

  • <em>mass of the metal hammer, m = 1.0 kg</em>
  • <em>speed of the hammer, v = 5.0 m/s</em>
  • <em>specific heat capacity of iron, 450 J/kg⁰C</em>

The increase in temperature of the metal hammer is calculated as follows;

Q = K.E\\\\mc \Delta T = \frac{1}{2}  mv^2\\\\\Delta T = \frac{v^2}{2 c}

where;

<em>c is the </em><em>specific heat capacity</em><em> of the metal hammer</em>

<em />

Assuming the metal hammer is iron, c = 450 J/kg⁰C

\Delta T = \frac{5^2}{2 \times 450} \\\\\Delta T = 0.028 \ ^0C

Thus, the increase in temperature of the metal hammer is 0.028 ⁰C.
