3. Consider a locomotive and the rest of a freight train to be a single object. Suppose the locomotive is pulling the train up a

hill. Describe the action and reaction forces that cause the locomotive to move up the hill, such as the reaction force and gravity.

Answer:

The friction force and the x component for the weight should be the reaction forces that are opposite and equal to the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.  

Explanation:

<u>When the locomotive starts to pull the train up, appears two reaction forces opposed to the action force in the direction of the move. </u>

The first one is due to the friction between the wheels and the ground, it will be the friction force (Fr):

Fr = μ*Pₓ =μmg*sin(φ)        

<em>where μ: friction dynamic coefficient, Pₓ: is the weight component in the x-axis, m: total mass = train's mass + locomotive's mass, g: gravity, and sin(φ): is the angle respect to the x-axis.</em>              

And the second one is the x component for the weight (Wₓ):

Wₓ = mg*cos(φ)  

<em>where cos(φ): is the angle respect to the y-axis.    </em>

<em> </em>

These two forces should be the same as the action force, which causes the locomotive to move up the hill if the velocity of the locomotive remains constant.

Three cars collide, a 1500 kg sports car, a 1750 kg family car, and a 1200 kg compact car. Which experiences the greatest change
sweet [91]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

This is because momentum is defined as p = mv

delta p = Force *time

neither velocity nor time is given so a conclusion cannot be made on which has the greatest momentum change.

a wave travels at a speed of 793 m/s and has a wavelength of 2.3 meters. calculate the frequency of the wave​
Savatey [412]

Answer:

344.8 Hz

Explanation:

The frequency of a wave is given by:

f=\frac{v}{\lambda}

where

v is the speed of the wave

\lambda is its wavelength

Here we have

v = 793 m/s

\lambda=2.3 m

Substituting into the equation, we find

f=\frac{793 m/s}{2.3 m}=344.8 Hz

If a scale of the solar system was built where 1 mm equaled 1 mile, could the model be practically built in a city?
Y_Kistochka [10]
No, it couldn't be.
On that scale, Neptune would be almost 1,740 MILES from the sun.
ON THAT SCALE !

While taking off from an aircraft carrier, a jet starting from rest accelerates uniformly to a final speed of 40. meters per sec
mariarad [96]

The acceleration of the jet is 11.4 m/s^2

Explanation:

Since the jet motion is a uniformly accelerated motion (=constant acceleration), we can use the following suvat equation:

v^2-u^2=2as

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

s is the displacement

For the jet in this problem, we have

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

v = 40 m/s (final velocity)

s = 70 m (length of the runway)

Solving for a, we find the acceleration:

a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{40^2-0}{2(70)}=11.4 m/s^2
