The fast train known as the TGV (Train à Grande Vitesse) that runs south from Paris, France, has a scheduled average speed of 21

6 km/h. (a) If the train goes around a curve at that speed and the acceleration experienced by the passengers is to be limited to 0.050g, what is the smallest radius of curvature for the track that can be tolerated? 7347 m (b) If there is a curve with a 0.90 km radius, to what speed must the train be slowed to keep the acceleration below the limit?

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

average speed of train(v_{avg})=216 kmph\approx 60 m/s

Maximum acceleration=0.05g

Now centripetal acceleration is

a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

0.05\times 9.8=\frac{60^2}{r}

r=7346.93 m

(b)Radius of curvature=900 m

therefore a_c=\frac{v^2}{r}

v=\sqrt{a_cr}

v=\sqrt{0.05\times 9.8\times 900}

v=\sqrt{441}=21 m/s

deff fn [24]

Answer:he formula for average speed is (total distance/total time)

the y-component does not matter in this problem. so do 6.26(cos45)=4.43m/s to find the x-component velocity which is constant throughout the duration of the flight. the total distance is 2L because he travels distance L twice.

the total time is ((time in water)+(time out of water)) since you dont have time you must eliminate it. to do this you need (distance)/(time)=velocity

solve for time and you get T=D/V

time in water is L/3.52 and time out of water is L/4.43

add them together and you get (4.43L+3.52L)/(15.59) = 7.95L/15.59

that value is your total time

divide you total distance (2L) by total time (7.95L/15.59) and the Ls cancel out and you get

(31.18)/(7.95) = 3.92 m/s = Average Speed

1. The geologic time scale divides time into years and centuries, true or false
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

The answer is "False"

Explanation:

The geologic time scale is the "schedule" for occasions in Earth history. It partitions time into named units of unique time called in descending order of duration "eons, eras, periods, epochs, and ages". The specification of those geologic time units depends on stratigraphy, which is the relationship and order of rock layers. The fossil structures that happen in the stones, nonetheless, give the central methods for setting up a geologic time scale, with the circumstance of the development and vanishing of far and wide species from the fossil record being used to outline the beginnings and endings of ages,, periods, and different stretches.

Geologic time is the broad time period involved by the geologic history of Earth. Formal geologic time starts toward the beginning of the Archean Eon (4.0 billion to 2.5 billion years back) and proceeds to the current day.

Ecologically speaking, which is bigger, a population or a community? Explain.
exis [7]

<span>Here are a few of the fundamental words in ecology, which are simple, but may be easy to mix up because they are so similar. It is, however, quite important to be clear of what they mean. I will here try to explain how they differ by defining them and giving a few examples to illustrate how they could be applied. 
</span>

<span>A habitat is basically the site<span> where an organism or a group lives</span>. It may be anything from a stone in a lake, on which algae grows, to a forest containing all sorts of creatures. Note that groups within a habitat do not need to be of the same species. However, one usually speaks of habitats of individuals, species, or larger groups. For instance, the habitat of the algae would be the stone in the lake, and the forest could be the habitat of a single bear – regardless of what other organisms live there and how they are geographically distributed; here we are interested in the bear, so we define the habitat as its home range, and all that falls within it will arbitrarily be a apart of its habitat. hope this helps</span>
