A subway train accelerates from rest at one station at a rate of 1.30 m/s^2 for half of the distance to the next station, then d

ecelerates at this same rate for the second half of the distance. If the stations are 3200m apart, find the time of travel (in seconds) between the two stations.

This problems a perfect application for this acceleration formula:

         Distance = (1/2) (acceleration) (time)² .

During the speeding-up half:     1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²
During the slowing-down half:    1,600 meters = (1/2) (1.3 m/s²) T²

Pick either half, and divide each side by  0.65 m/s²: 

                         T² = (1600 m) / (0.65 m/s²)

                         T = square root of (1600 / 0.65) seconds

Time for the total trip between the stations is double that time.

                         T =  2 √(1600/0.65) = <em>99.2 seconds</em>  (rounded)

The formula for electrical power is p = i v. Which is the equivalent equation solved for i? startfraction p over v endfraction =
Anettt [7]

The equivalent formula for p = iv is the startfraction p over v endfraction = i

In physics, power measures the rate of transfer of electrical energy through a circuit per unit of time. It is denoted by P and is measured using the SI unit of power (watts or 1 joule/second). Electrical energy is usually supplied by batteries and produced by generators.

There are three types of power, true, reactive, and apparent, which are related in trigonometric form. This is called the power triangle. A power triangle that relates apparent power to active and reactive power. Power is measured in watts. One watt equals one joule per second.

A 5 kg box is sliding across a level floor. The box is acted upon by a force of 27 newtons east and a frictional force of 17 new
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

The acceleration of the box is 2.

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of any object will be directly proportional to the net unbalanced force acting on the object and inversely proportional to the mass of the object.

Net force = Mass × Acceleration

So Acceleration = \frac{Net force}{Mass}

Since in this case, the box is experiencing a force from east of magnitude 27 N and resisting force of about 17 N from west. So the net force will be the difference of acting and reacting force.

Net force = 27-17 = 10 N.

Thus, Acceleration = \frac{10 N}{5 kg}

So 2 m/s^{2} is the acceleration of the box. Thus the magnitude of acceleration of the box is 2.

shusha [124]

Answer : The correct option is (D).

Explanation :

Given that,

A track begins at 0 meters and has a total distance of 100 meters. Juliet starts at the 10-meter mark while practicing for a race.

We have to find her position after she runs 45 meters.

From the attached figure,

Let A is the position of Juliet. O is the initial point such that OA = 10 m, AB = 45 m and OP = 100 m.

So, using simple mathematics, it is clear that the position of Juliet after running 45 meters will be 55 m. It is OB in the figure.

So, the correct option is (D) " 55 meters ".

Tension force refers to an object being pulled tight from both ends. Think about pulling a rope or string. This type of force is
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

No. Tension Force Elastic Force

1. A force transmitted through a wire, rope or a string when it is pulled from opposite ends is known as a tension force. A force that allows an object to return its original shape after being stretched or compressed is known as an elastic force.

2. Example: Pulling a rope from two opposite ends

When a rope is pulled from two opposite ends, a tension is generated in rope.

Due to this tension, a force is transmitted through a rope which is known as a tension force. Example: Stretching a rubber band

When a rubber band is stretched, it gets stretched easily due to its elastic nature.

The more a rubber band is stretched, the more force it will exert to return back to its original shape.

This force is known as an elastic force.
