The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.32 with the floor. If t

he train is initially moving at a speed of 54 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:

The shortest braking distance is 35.8 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use Newton's second law applied to the boxes, on the vertical axis we have the norm up and the weight vertically down

On the horizontal axis we fear the force of friction (fr) that opposes the movement and acceleration of the train, write the equation for each axis

    Y axis

     N- W = 0

     N = W = mg

  X axis

     -Fr = m a

     -μ N = m a

     -μ mg = ma

     a = μ g

     a  = - 0.32 9.8

     a =  - 3.14 m/s²

We calculate the distance using the kinematics equations

    Vf² = Vo² + 2 a x

     x = (Vf² - Vo²) / 2 a

When the train stops the speed is zero (Vf = 0)

 Vo = 54 km/h (1000m/1km) (1 h/3600s)= 15 m/s

     x = ( 0 - 15²) / 2 (-3.14)

     x=  35.8 m

The shortest braking distance is  35.8 m

The magnetic domains in a non-magnetized piece of iron are characterized by which orientation
mel-nik [20]
The unmagnetized pieces of iron would be randomly pointing to directions, this is true because although influenced with the magnetic domain, the direction of the unmagnetized iron field of attraction is not uniform or does not have preferred direction.

An electric heater is operated by applying a potential difference of 78.0 V across a nichrome wire of total resistance 7.00 Ω. a
aleksley [76]

PART A)

Here we know that

potential difference across the wire is

V = 78 volts

resistance of wire is

R = 7 ohm

now by ohm's law

V = iR

78 = i(7 ohm)

i = 11.14 A

Part b)

Power rating is defined as rate of electrical energy

it is defined as

P = iV

now we have

P = 11.14 ( 78)

P = 869.1 Watt
