A light train made up of two cars is traveling at 90 km/h when the brakes are applied to both cars. Know that car A has a mass o

f 31 Mg and car B has a mass of 20 Mg, and the braking force is 41 kN on each car. Determine:
(a) the distance traveledby the train before it comes to a stop
(b) the coupling force between the cars as the is slowing down.

Answer:

a) d=236.280\,m, b) F_{coupling} = -8848\,N The real force has the opposite direction.

Explanation:

a) Let assume that train moves on the horizontal ground. An equation for the distance travelled by the train is modelled after the Principle of Energy Conservation and Work-Energy Theorem:

K_{A} = W_{brake}

\frac{1}{2}\cdot m_{train} \cdot v^{2} = F_{brakes}\cdot d

d = \frac{m_{train}\cdot v^{2}}{2\cdot F_{brakes}}

d = \frac{(51000\,kg)\cdot [(90\,\frac{km}{h} )\cdot (\frac{1000\,m}{1\,km} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s} )]^{2}}{2\cdot (82000\,N)}

d=194.360\,m

b) The acceleration experimented by both trains are:

a = -\frac{v_{o}^{2}}{2\cdot d}

a = -\frac{[(90\,\frac{km}{h} )\cdot (\frac{1000\,m}{1\,km} )\cdot (\frac{1\,h}{3600\,s})]^{2}}{2\cdot (194.360\,m)}

a = -1.608\,\frac{m}{s^{2}}

The coupling force in the car A can derived of the following equation of equilibrium:

\Sigma F = F_{coupling} - F_{brakes} = m_{A}\cdot a

The coupling force between cars is:

F_{coupling} = m_{A}\cdot a + F_{brakes}

F_{coupling} = (31000\,kg)\cdot(-1.608\,\frac{m}{s^{2}} )+41000\,N

F_{coupling} = -8848\,N

The real force has the opposite direction.

In c the square root of a number N can be approximated by repeated calculation using the formula NG = 0.5(LG + N/LG) where NG st
DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Following are the program to the given question:

#include <stdio.h>//header file

double square_root(double N, double initialGuess)//defining a method square_root that takes two variable in parameters

{

double NG, LG = initialGuess,diff;//defining double variable

while(1)//use loop to calculate square root value

{

NG = 0.5 * (LG + N / LG);//using given formula

diff = NG - LG;//calculating difference

if(diff < 0)//use if to check difference is less than 0

diff = -diff;//decreaing difference

if(diff < 0.005)//use if that check difference is less than 0.005

break;//using break keyword  

else//defining else block

{

LG = NG;//holding value

}

}

return NG;//return value

}

int main()//defining main method

{

double ans, n,initialguess = 1.0;//defining double variable

n = 4;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 120.5;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 36.01;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

n = 0.25;//use n to hold value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

printf("\nEnter a number: ");//print message

scanf("%lf", &n);//input value

ans = square_root(n, initialguess);//calculating the square root value and print its value

printf("square_root(%lf) = %lf \n", n, ans);//print calculated value with number

}

Output:

Please find the attachment file.

Explanation:

  • In this code, a method "square_root" is declared that takes two variable "N, initialGuess" in its parameters, inside the method a three double variable is declared.
  • It uses the given formula and uses the diff variable to hold its value and uses two if to check its value is less than 0 and 0.005 and return its calculated value.
  • In the main method, three double variables are declared that use the "n" to hold value and "ans" to call the method that holds its value and print its value.

Keith_Richards [23]

The IRS and the U.S Department of the treasury declared that social security recipients are not required to file a simple tax return to receive stimulus payments under the CARES Act.

Explanation:

Due to the impact of corona virus problem, the CARES Act calls for stimulus payment to be sent to Americans based on their gross income.

The Social security recipients are not required to file a tax return and do not take action and they will receive the payments directly to their bank accounts.

The Automatic payments will begin by next week. The eligible taxpayers who filed tax returns for 2019  or 2018 and chose direct deposit for their refund will automatically receive a stimulus payment of  $1,200 for individuals or $2,400 for married couples and $500 for each qualifying child.
