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)

What is the velocity for an object at rest?
dem82 [27]

Answer:

e

Explanation:

An object at rest has zero velocity - and (in the absence of an unbalanced force) will remain with a zero velocity. Such an object will not change its state of motion (i.e., velocity) unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.

What are some drawbacks of electron microscopes? 3. If an object being viewed under the phase-contrast microscope has the same r
gayaneshka [121]

1. <u>Some drawbacks of electron microscopes:</u>

  • Price, size, repair, researcher learning and image artifacts arising from specimen preparation are the major drawbacks.
  • This form of magnification is a massive, burdensome, costly piece of equipment, highly sensitive to vibration and exterior magnetic field.
  • It must be held in an environment that is big enough to contain the microscope, as well as to secure and prevent any unwanted effect on the electrons.
  • Upkeep includes ensuring balanced voltage supplies, electromagnetic coil / lens currents and cool water circulation so that the specimens are not destroyed or damaged by the heat released during the electrons energization process.

2. If an object being viewed under the phase-contrast microscope has the same refractive index as the background material than "it would be difficult to see because the phase contrast microscope amplifies differences in the refractive index".

<u>Explanation:</u>

In order to improve the comparison of transparent and colorless specimens with the light microscopy pictures, thus phase contrast is used. This allows the visualization of cells and cell elements which would be hard to see using a standard light magnification. The phase comparison does not involve the destruction, fixation or staining of cells.

Due to diffraction and scattering phenomena which exist at the edges of these objects, large, extended specimens are also quickly visualized with phase contrast optical. As light transits through one medium to another, the velocity is changed in proportion to the variations in the refractive index between the two media. Therefore, the wave is either increased or decreased in velocity whenever a coherent light wave produced by the oriented microscope filament progresses via a phase specimen with a particular thickness and refractive index.

Two factor that affect gravitational force​
Gnoma [55]
When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

Restate newtons first law of motion​
andriy [413]

Newton's first law of motion states that an object that is resting (not moving) will stay motionless unless an external force acts on it and an object in motion will stay in motion unless an outside force acts on it. This law is known as newton's law of inertia.
