Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re

st by the locomotive. Discuss the advisability of this loose coupling and slack between cars from the point of view of impulse and momentum.
Physics
1 answer:
olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

If a car has a mass of 200 kilograms and produces a force of 500 N, how fast will the car accelerate?
san4es73 [151]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

F = ma

500N = 200 × a

200a. = 500N

a. =. 500N/200

a. =. 2.5m/s²

The asteroid 2007 VK184 has one chance in 2940 of hitting the Earth between the years 2048 and 2057. The asteroid is 130 meters
N76 [4]

Answer:

 The average death rate for this type of event is closest to 350 people per event.

Explanation:

Between the years 2048 and 2057

Is 10 years. Since there is only one chance of event between these years, there is no point to consider it.

The total number of events = 2940 chances.

average death rate per event = total number of dead people divided by total number of events of occurrence.

1000000/2940 = 340.134

The average death rate for this type of event is therefore closest to 350 people per event

6)An electric field of 6 N/C points in the positive X direction. What is the electric flux through a surface that is 4 m2, if it
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

Flux is 21 Nm^2/C.

Explanation:

Electric field, E = 6 N/C along X axis

Electric filed vector, E = 6 i N/C

Area, A = 4 square meter

Area vector

\overrightarrow{A} = 4 (cos30 \widehat{i} + sin 30 \widehat{j})\\\\\overrightarrow{A} = 3.5 \widehat{i} + 2 \widehat{j}\\

The flux is given by

\phi= \overrightarrow{E}.\overrightarrow{A}\\\\\phi = 6 \widehat{i} .  \left (3.5 \widehat{i} + 2 \widehat{j}  \right )\\\\\phi = 21 Nm^2/C

A skier starts from rest at the top of a hill that is inclined 10.5° with respect to the horizontal. The hillside is 200 m long,
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

d) 289.31 m

Explanation:

Energy provided by potential energy = mgh = m x 9.8x 200 sin10.5 = 357.18m

Energy used by friction = μmgcos 10.5 x 200 = .075 x m x 9.8 x cos 10.5 x200 = 144.54 m .

Energy used by friction on plain surface = μmg x d.( dis distance covered on plain ) =.075x m x 9.8 xd = .735 m d

To equate

357.18 m -144.54 m = .735 m d

d = 289.31 m .
