(a) If the maximum acceleration that is tolerable for passengers in a subway train is 1.34 m/s² and subway stations are located

806 m apart, what is the maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations? (b) What is the travel time between stations? (c) If a subway train stops for 20 s at each station, what is the maximum average speed of the train, from one start-up to the next? (d) Graph x, ν, and a versus t for the interval from one start-up to the next.

Answer:

The correct answer is 32.9 m/s

Explanation:

To solve this, we list out the known and the unknown variables as follows

Maximum allowable acceleration = 1.34 m/s²

Distance between sttions = 806 m

Therefore from the equation of motion

v = ut + 0.5·×at²

Where v = final velocity

u = initial velocity

S = distance covered

t  = time

a = acceleration

Also v² = u² + 2·a·S

where u is the initial velocity, which we can take as u = 0, then

v² = 2·1.34·S = 2.68S m²/s²  then

Also the train has to decelerate from maximum speed to stop at the next tran station wherev = 0, thus v² = u² -2·1.34·Z,  so u² = 2.68Z

since u² = 2.68S from the previous calculation, then for v = 0

2.68S = 2.68Z thus S = Z which and to reach the next subway station S + Z must be = 806 m, then S = 806 m ÷ 2 = 403 m

and v² = 2.68S m²/s² = 1080.04 m²/s²

v = 32.9 m/s

The maximum speed a subway train can attain between stations is 32.9 m/s

What does it mean that are bodies are in osmotic equilibrium but chemical and electrical disequilibrium? Why? What molecules are
Whitepunk [10]

Explanation:

The point is that water is moving smoothly but that the solutes are not.Even though the containers are chemically different (chemical disequilibrium), once all the solutes in one container are contrasted to all the solutes in another container, both have the same total solutes concentrations (this means that they are in osmotic balance).

Two cars are initially separated by 2500 m and traveling towards each other. One car travels at 4.5 m/s and the second car trave
mylen [45]

Answer:

714.285s

Explanation:

use relative velocity

8-4.5 = 3.5m/s

x = 2500m

2500/3.5 = 714.285s = 700s (with sig figs)

For a photoelectric tube, calculate the voltage which will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plat
Talja [164]

Answer:

1.11 V

Explanation:

Given that the Einstein photoelectric equation states that;

KE = E - Wo

E = energy of incident photon

Wo= work function of the metal

E = hf = 6.64 x 10-34 * 6 x 1014

E = 39.84 * 10^-20 J or 3.98  * 10^-19 J

KE = 3.98  * 10^-19 J - 2.2 x 10-19J

KE = 1.78 *  10^-19J

We convert this value of KE to electron volts

KE = 1.78 *  10^-19J/1.6 x 10-19C

KE = 1.11 eV

Hence; 1.11 V will be just sufficient to stop electrons emitted by the sodium photo-plate reaching the collector plate.

A student analyzes data of the motion of a planet as it orbits a star that is in deep space. The orbit of the planet is consider
Valentin [98]

Explanation:

The orbit of the planet is considered to be stable and does not change over time. This means that the force of gravity and inertia are perfectly balanced. Leading to forward motion of Planet and moons under force of gravity of some other large body(Most probably stars).This is in turns leads to formation of orbit.
