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

When a quantity of monatomic ideal gas expands at a constant pressure of 4.00×104pa, the volume of the gas increases from 2.00×1
Semmy [17]
Yes that is correct. We know this because 4.00 x 10 4 Pa is constant. If you have 2.00×10−3m3 then you do the following: (2.00×10^−3)(4.00×10^<span> 4) = </span>8.00×10^−3. That is how you get your answer

The law of reflection says that the angle of incidence is
nekit [7.7K]
The law of reflection states that the angle of incidence is equal to the angle of reflection. Furthermore, the law of reflection states that the incident ray, the reflected ray and the normal all lie in the same plane.

hope this helps :)

Explain the relationship between the current output of the power supply and the current through each component in the parallel c
baherus [9]

Explanation:

Current output at the battery will be current of entire circuit, while the current through each bulb in the parallel circuit is the total current circuit.

So, current output through power supply is i and current through each component be i_1, i_2 , i_3 considering only three component.

Then in a parallel circuit

i = i_1+i_2+i_3
