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)

Consider two particles of equal masses attached to each other by a light straight spring write the lagrangian center of mass
dolphi86 [110]
<span>The lagrangian center of mass between two particles of equal mass can be calculated using the following equation: L=12MV2â’Uext.+Nâ‘i=112mi~v2iâ’Uint. M=â‘mi is the total mass, V is the speed of the center of mass, Uext.=â‘Uext.,i, and ~vi is the speed of the ith particle relative to the center of mass.</span>

A mother and daughter are on a seesaw in the park. How far from the center must the 160.9lb mother sit in order to balance the 6
Soloha48 [4]

Answer:

The mother has to sit 2.17 ft from the center on the other side of the seesaw.

Explanation:

We are trying to find the sum of torques given by the weights of mother and daughter to be zero.

If the torque of the daughter on one side of the pivoting point is given by:

5.5 ft x 63.5 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

we need that the absolute value of the torque exerted by the mom (160.9 lb) to be the same in magnitude (and of course opposite direction). So we assume that "d" is the distance at which the mother locates to make this torque equal in magnitude to her daughter's torque:

d x 160.9 lb x g = 349.25 g ft lb

d = 2.17 ft

A proton moves at constant velocity in the direction, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field.
dimaraw [331]

Answer:

F_{net}=0

Explanation:

It is given that, a proton moves at constant velocity, through a region in which there is an electric field and a magnetic field such that,

The electric field is, E = 800 V/m

Magnetic field, B = 0.25 T

We know that the net force in the region of magnetic and electric field is given by Lorentz forces. But here, the proton moves with constant velocity. So, the net force acting on it is 0.

i.e.

F_{net}=0

Hence, this is the required solution.

A large fraction of the ultraviolet (UV) radiation coming from the sun is absorbed by the atmosphere. The main UV absorber in ou
irakobra [83]

Answer:

λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm

Explanation:

The relationship between the velocity of electromagnetic waves (UV rays) and the their frequency is:

v = fλ

where,

v = c = speed of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = speed of light

c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

f = frequency of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = 9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz

λ = wavelength of the electromagnetic waves (UV rays) = ?

Therefore, substituting the values in the relation, we get:

3 x 10⁸ m/s = (9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)(λ)

λ = (3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(9.38 x 10¹⁴ Hz)

<u>λ = 3.2 x 10⁻⁷ m = 320 nm</u>

So, the radiation of <u>320 nm</u> wavelength is absorbed by Ozone.
