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 noise level coming from a pig pen with
sweet [91]

Answer:

The decibel of the remaining pigs is 51.5 dB.

Explanation:

Decibel (dB) is a unit of measure of the intensity of a given sound.

Number of pigs = 199, noise level = 74.3 dB.

Given that the intensity (I) of the sound from the pen is proportional to the number of pigs (N), thus:

                       I    \alpha  N

                       I = kN

where k is the constant of proportionality.

⇒                    k = \frac{I}{N}

                         = \frac{74.3}{199}

                      k = 0.3734

When 61 numbers of pigs were removed, the number of remaining pigs (N) squealing at their original level is 138.

Thus, the becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs can be determined by:

                  I = kN

                    = 0.3734 × 138

                   = 51.53 dB

The becibel level (I) of the remaining pigs is 51.53 dB.

What is friction ??? ​
jeka94

Answer:

Frictional force is produced when two bodies are rubbed against each other. It is the force that oppose the motion and therefore it stops or slow down a moving body.It depends upon the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the body in contact.Rough surface have more friction that the smooth surface. Similarly, the heavier body produces more friction than a lighter body. Frictional force acts in the opposite direction of the motion of the body.
