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

The atmosphere of Mars is almost all carbon dioxide and the average surface pressure is 610 Pa (as compared with 101,000 Pa on E
Karolina [17]

Answer:

   z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Explanation:

a) As they indicate that the atmosphere behaves like an ideal gas, we can use the equation

          P V = n R T

          P = (n r / V) T

We replace

         P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

b) Let's apply this equation in the points

Lower

        .z = 0

         P₀ = 610 Pa

         P₀ = (nR / V) T₀

Higher.

         P = 10 Pa

          P = (n R / V) T₀ e^{- C z}

We replace

        P = P₀ e^{- C z}

        e^{- C z} = P / P₀

        C z = ln P₀ / P

        z = 1 / C ln P₀ / P

Let's calculate

        z = 1 / 1.1 10⁻⁵ ln (610/10)

        z = 3,737 10⁵ m

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi
Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0 = Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

\theta= Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta

I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)

I_2 = 0.125I_0

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30

Then,

I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3

I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)

I_3 = 0.09375I_0

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.
