Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

(and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 7.0 m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 11 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. You may want to review (Pages 42 - 45) .

Answer:

19 m/s

Explanation:

The complete question requires the final speed to be calculated.

Velocity is the rate and direction at which an object moves. Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time and can be calculated by the difference in velocity over a given time.

For this question, first the unknown acceleration must be calculated and used to determine the final velocity

Step 1: Calculate the acceleration

a=\frac{v_{2}-v{1}}{t_{1}}

a=\frac{11-7}{8}

a=\frac{4}{8}

a=0.5 m/s^{2}

Step 2: Calculate the velocity using the acceleration calculated above

a=\frac{v_{3}-v{2}}{t_{2}}

0.5=\frac{v_{3}-11}{16}

v_{3}=19 m/s

kodGreya [7K]
<span>the gravational potential energy of anything on the ground is zero. When calculating potential energy you take height in meters and multiply it by the mass of the object in kilograms and the acceleration of gravity to get a new unit called Joules. Any object at ground level has a potential energy of zero newtons becuase anything multiplied by zero is zero. An object with mass of 54 kg, 4 meters above the ground has a gravitatinal potential energy of 2116.8 Joules.</span>

If 2 objects had the same momentum, what must be true about the mass of the object that traveled the fastest?
julsineya [31]

Yes, the above-given statement is true

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • The product of the mass x the velocity will be the same for both. Momentum is the action of a body with a particular mass through space and there is the conservation of momentum.
  • Momentum is described as the mass of the object multiplied by its velocity.
  • <u>Momentum (p) = Mass (M) * Velocity (v)</u>
  • Therefore for two objects with many masses to have a similar momentum, then the lighter one has to be moving quicker than the heavier object.

Explanation:

The Yerkes Primate center was established in 1930 by Robert Yerkes, in Orange Park, Florida. But was moved to its present location in Emory University.

The center has its focus on two major area of research, which are  Immunology and Vaccine, and research towards  increasing the understanding of progressive illnesses, such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s diseases.

A person walks first at a constant speed of 5.50 m/s along a straight line from point A to point B and then back along the line
Sav [38]

Answer:

4.25 m/s

Explanation:

They walked the first distance at 5.50 m/s, then the same distance at 3 m/s.

Since the distances are equal, the average speed is simply the average of 5.50 and 3.

(5.50 + 3) / 2 = 4.25

Her average speed over the entire trip is 4.25 m/s.
