The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200m ahead on the same track. The

freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediatly applies the brakes causing a constant acceleration of .100m/s^2 in a direction opposite to the trains velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. will there be a collision?

Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2  + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision

A positive charge of 8.0 × 10-4 C is in an electric field that exerts a force of 3.5 × 10-4 N on it. What is the strength of the
Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

E = 0.437 N/C

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, q=8\times 10^{-4}\ C

Electric force, F=3.5\times 10^{-4}\ N

Let the strength of the electric field is E. We know that, the electric force is given by :

F = qE

Where

E is the electric field strength

E=\dfrac{F}{q}\\\\E=\dfrac{3.5\times 10^{-4}}{8\times 10^{-4}}\\E=0.437\ N/C

So, the strength of the electric field is equal to 0.437 N/C.

One end of a 34-m unstretchable rope is tied to a tree; the other end is tied to a car stuck in the mud. The motorist pulls side
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Fc = 89.67N

Explanation:

Since the rope is unstretchable, the total length will always be 34m.

From the attached diagram, you can see that we can calculate the new separation distance from the tree and the stucked car H as follows:

L1+L2=34m

L1^2=L2^2=L^2=2^2+(H/2)^2  Replacing this value in the previous equation:

\sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}+ \sqrt{2^2+H^2/4}=34  Solving for H:

H=\sqrt{52}

We can now, calculate the angle between L1 and the 2m segment:

\alpha = atan(\frac{H/2}{2})=60.98°

If we make a sum of forces in the midpoint of the rope we get:

-2*T*cos(\alpha ) + F = 0  where T is the tension on the rope and F is the exerted force of 87N.

Solving for T, we get the tension on the rope which is equal to the force exerted on the car:

T=Fc=\frac{F}{2*cos(\alpha) } = 89.67N
