Rainwater fills small cracks in a rock. As the water freezes, it expands, widening the cracks and splitting apart the rock.

I would say this too.

A bicyclist in the Tour de France crests a mountain pass as he moves at 18 km/h. At the bottom, 4.0 km farther, his speed is at

Allisa [31]

We are given:

v0 = initial velocity = 18 km/h

d = distance = 4 km

v = final velocity = 75 km/h

a =?

We can solve this problem by using the formula:

v^2 = v0^2 + 2 a d

75^2 = 18^2 + 2 (a) * 4

5625 = 324 + 8a

a = 662.625 km/h^2

A train, traveling at a constant speed of 22.0 m/s, comes to an incline with a constant slope. While going up the incline, the t

Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

123.30 m

Explanation:

Given

Speed, u = 22 m/s

acceleration, a = 1.40 m/s²

time, t = 7.30 s

From equation of motion,

v = u + at

where,

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is time

V = at + U

using equation v - u = at to get line equation for the graph of the motion of the train on the incline plane

$V_{x} = mt + V_{o}$ where m is the slope

Comparing equation (1) and (2)

$V = V_{x}$

a = m

$U = V_{o}$

Since the train slows down with a constant acceleration of magnitude 1.40 m/s² when going up the incline plane. This implies the train is decelerating. Therefore, the train is experiencing negative acceleration.

a = - 1.40 m/s²

Sunstituting a = - 1.40 m/s² and u = 22 m/s

$V_{x} = -1.40t + 22$
