A train is travelling towards the station on a straight track. It is a certain distance from the station when the engineer appli

es the brakes. Initially, the train is moving at 50 m/s and slows down at 2.5 m/s^2. If the train stops at the station, how far before the station did the engineer apply the brake?

Answer:

500 m

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity = 50 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -2.5 m/s²

Equation of motion

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=50-2.5\times t\\\Rightarrow \frac{-50}{-2.5}=t\\\Rightarrow t=20\ s

Time taken by the train to stop is 20 seconds

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=50\times 20+\frac{1}{2}\times -2.5\times 20^2\\\Rightarrow s=500\ m

∴ The engineer applied the brakes 500 m from the station

Two 25.0N weights are suspended at opposite ends of a rope that passes over a frictionless pulley. What is the tension in the ro
goldenfox [79]

Answer:

tension in rope = 25.0 N

Explanation:

  • Two forces act on the suspended weight. The force coming down is the gravitational force and the upward force by the tension in the rope.
  • Since the suspended weight is not accelerating so that the net force will be zero. Therefore the tension in the rope should be 25 N.

       ∑F = F - W = 0

       so

       F = W

       so tension in rope = F  = T  = 25 N

storchak [24]

Answer:

10 years

Explanation:

As you can understand from the question it is given that the planet is already filled to half of its capacity. Also the population doubles in 10 years. To fill up the planet completely the population needs to double only once. To do that only 10 years are required.

As it is mentioned there are no other factors affecting the growth rate, in 10years the planet will be filled to its carrying capacity.
