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

We make a graphic of this problem to define the angle.

The angle we can calculate through triangle relation, that is,

sin\theta = \frac{c}{QP}\\sin\theta = \frac{c}{R}\\\theta=sin^{-1}\frac{c}{R}

With this function we should only calculate the derivate in function of c

\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{1-\frac{c^2}{R^2}}}(\frac{c}{R})'\\\frac{d\theta}{dc} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-c^2}}

That is the rate of change of \theta.

b) At this point we need only make a substitution of 0 for c in the equation previously found.

\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{\sqrt{R^2-0}}\\\frac{d\theta}{dc}\big|_{c=0} = \frac{1}{R}

Hence we have finally the rate of change when c=0.

Two forces act on a 41-kg object. One force has magnitude 65 N directed 59° clockwise from the positive x-axis, and the other ha
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

a = 1.41 m/s²

Explanation:

Given that

mass ,m= 41 kg

F₁ = 65 N , θ = 59°

F₂ = 35 N ,θ = 32°

The component of Force F₁

F₁x= F₁cos59° i

F₁x= 65 x cos59° i = 33.47 i

F₁y= - F₁ sin 59° j

F₁y= - 65 x sin 59° j = - 55.71 j

The component of Force F₂

F₂x= F₂ sin 32° i

F₂x= 35 x sin 32° i = 18.54 i

F₂y=  F₂ cos 32° j

F₂y=  35 x cos 32° j =  29.68 j

The total force F

F= 33.47 i +   18.54 i - 55.71 j +   29.68 j

F= 52.01 i - 26.03 j

The magnitude of the force F

F=\sqrt{52.01^2+26.03 ^2}\ N

F=58.16 N

We know that

F= m a

a= Acceleration

m=mass

58.16 = 41 x a

a = 1.41 m/s²
