Three observers watch a train pull away from a station toward the right of the platform. Observer A is in one of the train’s car
juin [17]

Observer A is moving inside the train

so here observer A will not be able to see the change in position of train as he is standing in the same reference frame

So here as per observer A the train will remain at rest and its not moving at all

Observer B is standing on the platform so here it is a stationary reference frame which is outside the moving body

So here observer B will see the actual motion of train which is moving in forward direction away from the platform

Observer C is inside other train which is moving in opposite direction on parallel track. So as per observer C the train is coming nearer to him at faster speed then the actual speed because they are moving in opposite direction

So the distance between them will decrease at faster rate

Now as per Newton's II law

F = ma

Now if train apply the brakes the net force on it will be opposite to its motion

So we can say

- F = ma

a = \frac{-F}{m}

so here acceleration negative will show that train will get slower and its distance with respect to us is now increasing with less rate

It is not affected by the gravity  because the gravity will cause the weight of train and this weight is always counterbalanced by normal force on the train

So there is no effect on train motion

What is the slope of the line plotted below?<br> A. 1.33<br> B. -1.33<br> C. -0.6<br> D. 0.6
Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

C. -0.6

Explanation:

Line is passing through the points ( - 3, 1) & (2, - 2)

Slope of line

=  \frac{ - 2 - 1}{2 - ( - 3)}  =  \frac{ - 3}{2 + 3}  =  \frac{ - 3}{5}  =  - 0.6 \\

An advanced computer sends information to its various parts via infrared light pulses traveling through silicon fibers (n = 3.50
sasho [114]

Answer:

d = 6.43 cm

Explanation:

Given:

- Speed resistance coefficient in silicon n = 3.50

- Memory takes processing time t_p = 0.50 ns

- Information is to be obtained within T = 2.0 ns

Find:

- What is the maximum distance the memory unit can be from the central processing unit?

Solution:

- The amount of time taken for information pulse to travel to memory unit:

                            t_m = T - t_p

                            t_m = 2.0 - 0.5 = 1.5 ns

- We will use a basic relationship for distance traveled with respect to speed of light and time:

                           d = V*t_m

- Where speed of light in silicon medium is given by:

                           V = c / n

- Hence,              d = c*t_m / n

-Evaluate:           d = 3*10^8*1.5*10^-9 / 3.50

                           d = 0.129 m 12.9 cm

- The above is the distance for pulse going to and fro the memory and central unit. So the distance between the two is actually d / 2 = 6.43 cm
