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)

Is there an eclipse happening soon in England
lyudmila [28]

A solar eclipse will be visible over a wide area of the north polar region
on Friday, March 20.

England is not in the path of totality, but it's close enough so that a large
part of the sun will be covered, and it will be a spectacular sight.

For Londoners, the eclipse begins Friday morning at 8:25 AM,when the
moon just begins to eat away at the sun's edge.  It advances slowly, as more
and more of the sun disappears, and reaches maximum at 9:31 AM.  Then
the obscured part of the sun begins to shrink, and the complete disk is
restored by the end of the eclipse at 10:41AM, after a period of 2 hours
16 minutes during which part of the sun appears to be missing.

The catch in observing the eclipse is:

                       <em><u>YOU MUST NOT LOOK AT THE SUN</u></em>.

Staring at the sun for a period of time can cause permanent damage to
your vision, even though <em><u>you don't feel it while it's happening</u></em>.

This is not a useful place to try and give you complete instructions or
suggestions for observing the sun over a period of hours.  Please look
in your local newspaper, or search online for phrases like "safe eclipse
viewing".

A refrigerator having a power rating of 350W operates for 12 hours a day. calculate the cost of electrical energy to operate it
rodikova [14]

Answer:

See the answers below.

Explanation:

The cost of energy can be calculated by multiplying each given value, a dimensional analysis must be taken into account in order to calculate the total value of the cost in Rs.

Cost=0.350[kW]*12[\frac{hr}{1day}]*30[days]*4.5[\frac{Rs}{kW*hr} ]=567[Rs]

The fuse can be calculated by knowing the amperage.

P=V*I

where:

P = power = 350 [W]

V = voltage = 240 [V]

I = amperage [amp]

Now clearing I from the equation above:

I=P/V\\I=350/240\\I=1.458[amp]

The fuse should be larger than the current of the circuit, i.e. about 2 [amp]

HELP! block is released from rest and slides down a frictionless ramp inclined at 30' from the horizontal. When the block reache
Bumek [7]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

the horizontal and vertical force acting on it consist a net force on the inclined direction (30degrees below the horizontal) you can tell by the length of the horizontal component (try to see the 30degree incline as horizontal, because that's the direction of the displacement). net work done on the system results in an increase in energy. i hope this can help :D, i'm also taking the ap physics 1 exam tommorow.
