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

When a light bulb is connected to a 4.5 V battery, a current of 0.16 A passes through the bulb filament. What is the resistance
larisa [96]

Answer:

R = 28.125 ohms

Explanation:

Given that,

The voltage of a bulb, V = 4.5 V

Current, I = 0.16 A

We need to find the resistance of the filament. Using Ohm's law,

V = IR

Where

R is the resistance of the filament

So,

R=\dfrac{V}{I}\\\\R=\dfrac{4.5}{0.16}\\\\R=28.125\ \Omega

So, the resistance of the filament is equal to 28.125 ohms.
