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

With the temperature held constant, the piston of a cylinder containing a gas is pulled out so that the volume increases from 0.
klio [65]

Answer:

P1 = 240 kPa.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Initial volume = 0.3 m³

Final volume, V2 = 0.9 m³

Final pressure, P2 = 80 kPa

To find the initial pressure, we would use Boyle's law;

Boyles states that when the temperature of an ideal gas is kept constant, the pressure of the gas is inversely proportional to the volume occupied by the gas.

Mathematically, Boyles law is given by the formula;

PV = K

P_{1}V_{1} = P_{2}V_{2}

Substituting into the formula, we have;

P_{1} * 0.3 = 80 * 0.9

0.3P_{1} = 72

P_{1} = \frac {72}{0.3}

P_{1} = 240

Therefore, the initial pressure of the gas is 240 kPa

El valor más preciso de la masa de un electron es 9.11*10^-11kg ¿ Cuánto aumentaría la masa de un cuerpo que se carga con -1 c d
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg

Explanation:

Un electrón tiene una carga negativa de 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C y la masa total es igual al producto del número de electrones y esa carga unitaria. El número de electrones se obtiene al dividir la carga total por la carga unitaria. (An electron has a negative charge of 1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C and the total mass is equal to the product of the qunatity of electrons and such unit charge. The quantity of electrons is found by diving the total charge by the unit charge):

m = \frac{Q}{q} \cdot m_{e}

m = \left(\frac{1\,C}{1.6\times 10^{-19}\,C} \right)\cdot (9.11\times 10^{-11}\,kg)

m = 569.375\times 10^{6}\,kg
