A train leaves the train station at noon and travels at a constant speed of vt = 50 mi/hr on a straight track. 2 hr later, a car

leaves the same train station and travels in the same direction at vc = 70 mi/hr on a road next to the train track. How far from the station is the place where the car catches up with the train? x =

Answer:

350 miles

Explanation:

When the car starts 2 hours later, the train would have a head start of

50 * 2 = 100 miles

The speed of the car relative to the train is

70 - 50 = 20 mi/hr

For the car to catch up with the train, it must cover the 100 miles difference at the rate of 20mi/hr. So the time it would need to cover this difference is

100 / 20 = 5 hours

After 5 hours, the car would have traveled a distance of

5 * 70 = 350 miles which is also the distance from the station to where the car catches up

A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of
Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

ENERGY SAVERS RACE, BRAIN BURNER. This question is about solar cars at the Chuck Norris Institute of Technology, CNIT, in Ocala,
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

a) d = 6.0 m

Explanation:

Since car is accelerating at uniform rate then here we can say that the distance moved by the car with uniform acceleration is given as

d = \frac{(v_f + v_i)}{2} \times t

here we know that

v_f = 10 m/s

v_i = 0

t = 1.2 s

now we will have

d = \frac{(10 + 0)}{2}\times 1.2

d = 5 \times 1.2

d = 6.0 m
