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

A toaster oven uses67,500 joules of energy in 45 seconds to toast a piece of bread what is the power of the oven
Tcecarenko [31]

If you simply divide joules by seconds, the answer is in units
of joules/sec (watts) which is exactly what you want.

(67,500 joules) / (45 sec) = 1,500 joules/sec = 1,500 watts

Which of the following objects have gravitational potential energy?
Brut [27]

Answer:

The apple

Explanation:

The apple has gravitational potential energy because it is just sitting there but nothing is pushing it up, it is not sitting on something. This means that it has a lot of gravitational potential energy as nothing is pushing it up.
