(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

Answer:

3.2075*10^16

Explanation:

Q=P/V just search up a converter and youll get 30V and so you do 15/30 which is a half and a single coulomb is 6.415*10^16 so you half it. I belive this is correct if you dont belive me wait for someone else smarter to answer and compare.

The distance between adjacent nodes in a standing wave pattern in a length of string is 25.0 cm:A. What is the wavelength of wav

mina [271]

A) 50 cm

B) 10000 cm/s

Explanation

Step 1

A)

If you know the distance between nodes and antinodes then use this equation:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=D \\ \text{where}\lambda\text{ is the wavelength} \\ D\text{ is the distance betw}een\text{ nodes} \end{gathered}$

then, let

$D=\text{ 25 cm }$

now, replace to find the wavelength

$\begin{gathered} \frac{\lambda}{2}=25 \\ \text{Multiply both sides by 2} \\ \frac{\lambda}{2}\cdot2=25\cdot2 \\ \lambda=50\text{ Cm} \end{gathered}$

so, the wavelength is

A) 50 cm

Step 2

The speed of a wave can be found using the equation

$v=\lambda f$

or velocity = wavelength x frequency,

then,let

$\begin{gathered} \lambda=50\text{ cm} \\ f=200\text{ Hz} \end{gathered}$

replace and evaluate

$\begin{gathered} v=\lambda f \\ v=50\text{ cm }\cdot200\text{ HZ} \\ v=10000\text{ }\frac{\text{cm}}{s} \end{gathered}$

so

B) 10000 cm/s

A negative charge of 20 x 10-6C and another charge of 15 x 10-6C are separated by as distance of 0.7 m.

denpristay [2]

Answer:

Approximately $5.5\; \rm N$ , assuming that the volume of these two charged objects is negligible.

Explanation:

Assume that the dimensions of these two charged objects is much smaller than the distance between them. Hence, Coulomb's Law would give a good estimate of the electrostatic force between these two objects regardless of their exact shapes.

Let $q_1$ and $q_2$ denote the magnitude of two point charges (where the volume of both charged object is negligible.) In this question, $q_1 = 20 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ and $q_2 = 15 \times 10^{-6}\; \rm C$ .

Let $r$ denote the distance between these two point charges. In this question, $r = 0.7\; \rm m$ .

Let $k$ denote the Coulomb constant. In standard units, $k \approx 8.98755\times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2}$ .

By Coulomb's Law, the magnitude of electrostatic force (electric force) between these two point charges would be:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\end{aligned}$ .

Substitute in the values and evaluate:

$\begin{aligned}F &= \frac{k \cdot q_1 \cdot q_2}{r^{2}}\\ &\approx 8.98755 \times 10^{9}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{3}\cdot s^{-2}\cdot C^{-2} \\ &\quad \times 20\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C\\ &\quad \times 15\times 10^{-6}\; \rm C \\ &\quad \times \frac{1}{{(0.7\; \rm m)}^{2}}\\ &\approx 5.5\; \rm N \end{aligned}$ .

What occurs when a swimmer pushes through water to swim

Triss [41]

When we swim we apply force and push the water backward with the help of our hands. In response, The water pushes us forward with an equal force. Thus, in order to move forward and swim, the swimmer lushes the water backward. Newton's 3rd law of motion
