In the design of a rapid transit system, it is necessary to balance the average speed of a train against the distance between st

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

a) t = 746 s

b) t = 666 s

Explanation:

a)

Total time will be the sum of the partial times between stations plus the time stopped at the stations.
Due to the distance between stations is the same, and the time between stations must be the same (Because the train starts from rest in each station) we can find total time, finding the time for any of the distance between two stations, and then multiply it times the number of distances.
At any station, the train starts from rest, and then accelerates at 1.1m/s2 till it reaches to a speed of 95 km/h.
In order to simplify things, let's first to convert this speed from km/h to m/s, as follows:

$v_{1} = 95 km/h *\frac{1h}{3600s}*\frac{1000m}{1 km} = 26.4 m/s (1)$

Applying the definition of acceleration, we can find the time traveled by the train before reaching to this speed, as follows:

$t_{1} = \frac{v_{1} }{a_{1} } = \frac{26.4m/s}{1.1m/s2} = 24 s (2)$

Next, we can find the distance traveled during this time, assuming that the acceleration is constant, using the following kinematic equation:

$x_{1} = \frac{1}{2} *a_{1} *t_{1} ^{2} = \frac{1}{2} * 1.1m/s2*(24s)^{2} = 316.8 m (3)$

In the same way, we can find the time needed to reach to a complete stop at the next station, applying the definition of acceleration, as follows:

$t_{3} = \frac{-v_{1} }{a_{2} } = \frac{-26.4m/s}{-2.2m/s2} = 12 s (4)$

We can find the distance traveled while the train was decelerating as follows:

$x_{3} = (v_{1} * t_{3}) + \frac{1}{2} *a_{2} *t_{3} ^{2} \\ = (26.4m/s*12s) - \frac{1}{2} * 2.2m/s2*(12s)^{2} = 316.8 m - 158.4 m = 158.4m (5)$

Finally, we need to know the time traveled at constant speed.
So, we need to find first the distance traveled at the constant speed of 26.4m/s.
This distance is just the total distance between stations (3.0 km) minus the distance used for acceleration (x₁) and the distance for deceleration (x₃), as follows:
x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 3000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 2525 m (6)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{2525m}{26.4m/s} = 95.6 s (7)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 95.6 s + 12 s = 131.6 s (8)
Due to we have six stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 5, as follows:
tm = t*5 = 131.6 * 5 = 658.2 s (9)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 4 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 4 = 88 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 88 s = 658.2 s + 88 s = 746 s (10)

b)

Using all the same premises that for a) we know that the only difference, in order to find the time between stations, will be due to the time traveled at constant speed, because the distance traveled at a constant speed will be different.
Since t₁ and t₃ will be the same, x₁ and x₃, will be the same too.
We can find the distance traveled at constant speed, rewriting (6) as follows:

x₂ = L - (x₁+x₃) = 5000 m - (316.8 m + 158.4 m) = 4525 m (11)

The time traveled at constant speed (t₂), can be found from the definition of average velocity, as follows:

$t_{2} = \frac{x_{2} }{v_{1} } = \frac{4525m}{26.4m/s} = 171.4 s (12)$

Total time between two stations is simply the sum of the three times we have just found:
t = t₁ +t₂+t₃ = 24 s + 171.4 s + 12 s = 207.4 s (13)
Due to we have four stations (including those at the ends) the total time traveled while the train was moving, is just t times 3, as follows:
tm = t*3 = 207.4 * 3 = 622.2 s (14)
Since we know that the train was stopped at each intermediate station for 22s, and we have 2 intermediate stops, we need to add to total time 22s * 2 = 44 s, as follows:
Ttotal = tm + 44 s = 622.2 s + 44 s = 666 s (15)

If you see a sedimentary rock outcrop and red layers of sand are on top of pale yellow layers of sand, what do you know for sure

neonofarm [45]

Answer: The yellow layer is definitely older than the red layer

Explanation: According to Nicolaus Steno's law of superposition and original horizontality. Older rocks underlie younger rocks.

Sedimentary rocks are usually deposited in horizontal layers in which each stratigraphic layer is laid down before another can be deposited upon it.

The red layer, in addition to being older, is also likely to have undergone intense oxidation due to earlier exposure.

The greenhouse effect that raises the surface temperature of planets

PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

c

Explanation:

Green house effect:

Temperature of atmosphere is going to increased continuously, because infrared light absorbed by gas .This increased in temperature atmosphere is called green house effect.

The green houses gases are as follows

,Carbon diaoxide,water vapor ,,Carbon diaoxide ,Methane ,,Carbon diaoxide oxide,CFCs ,ozone.

So the option c is correct.

A sample of n2 gas occupies a volume of 746 ml at stp. What volume would n2 gas occupy at 155 ◦c at a pressure of 368 torr?

musickatia [10]

Answer:

2.41 L

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the ideal gas equation, which can be rewritten as:

$\frac{p_1 V_1}{T_1}=\frac{p_2 V_2}{T_2}$
