What distance is required for a train to stop if its initial velocity is 23 m/s and its

Physics
1 answer:
Varvara68 [4.7K]3 years ago
7 0

-- The train starts at 23 m/s and slows down by 0.25 m/s every second.

So it'll take (23/0.25) = 92 seconds to stop.

-- Its average speed during that time will be (1/2)(23+0) = 11.5 m/s

-- Moving at an average speed of 11.5 m/s for 92 sec, the train will cover

(11.5 m/s) x (92 sec)  =  <em>1,058 meters</em> .

A 800 kg safe is 2.1 m above a heavy-duty spring when the rope holding the safe breaks. The safe hits the spring and compresses
stellarik [79]

Answer:

k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m

Explanation:

First we need to find the force applied by safe pn the spring:

F = Weight of Safe

F = mg

where,

F = Force Applied by the safe on the spring = ?

m = mass of safe = 800 kg

g = 9.8 m/s²

Therefore,

F = (800 kg)(9.8 m/s²)

F = 7840 N

Now, using Hooke's Law:

F = kΔx

where,

K = Spring Constant = ?

Δx = compression = 46 cm = 0.46 m

Therefore,

7840 N = k (0.46 m)

k = 7840 N/0.46 m

<u>k = 17043.5 N/m = 17.04 KN/m</u>

Using this formula a = F/m What acceleration results from exerting a 125N force on a 0.65kg
Softa [21]

Answer:

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

Explanation:

Given:

Force = 125 N

Mass of ball = 0.65 kg

Find:

Acceleration

Computation:

We know that;

Acceleration = Force / Mas

So,

Acceleration = 125 / 0.65

Acceleration = 192.3 m/s² (Approx.)

935,500 joules because when we use the KE formula KE=1/2mv^2;
KE=1/2(750)(50)^2
KE=375(2500)
KE=935,500 Joules

A truck travels up a hill with a 5.7° incline. The truck has a constant speed of 22 m/s. What is the horizontal component of the
tester [92]

Answer:

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

Explanation:

Please see the attached figure for a better understanding of the problem.

Notice that the vector v and its x and y-components (vx and vy) form a right triangle. Then, we can use trigonometry to find the magnitude of vx, the horizontal component of the velocity.

To find vx, let´s use the following trigonometric rule of right triangles:

cos α = adjacent / hypotenuse

cos 5.7° = vx / 22 m/s

22 m/s · cos 5.7° = vx

vx = 21.9 m/s

The horizontal component of the velocity is 21.9 m/s.

When cars are equipped with flexible bumpers, they will bounce off each other during low-speed collisions, thus causing less dam
iris [78.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given:

U1 = 1.6 m/s

U2 = -1.1 m/s

M1 = 1850 kg

M2 = 1400 kg

V1 = 0.27 m/s

Using momentum- collision equation,

M1U1 + M2U2 = M1V1 + M2V2

1850 × 1.6 - 1400 × 1.1 = 1850 × 0.27 + 1400 × V2

1420 = 499.5 + 1400V2

V2 = 0.6575 m/s

B.

KE = 1/2 × MV^2

KEa1 + KEa2 = KEb1 + KEb2

Delta KE = KE2 - KE1

KEa1 = 2368 J

KEb1 = 847 J

KEa2 = 67.433 J

KEb2 = 302.6 J

KE1 = KEa1 + KEb1

= 3215 J

KE2 = 370.033 J

Delta KE = -2845 J.
