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.

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).

Spiderman, whose mass is 74.0 kg, is dangling on the free end of a 11.0-m-long rope, the other end of which is fixed to a tree l
Anestetic [448]

Answer:

W = -1844.513 J

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

mass of spider man is m  74 kg

vertical displacement if spider is 11 m

final displacement  =  11 cos 60.6 =  - 6.753 m

change in displacement is  = -6.753 - (-11) = 4.25 m

gravity force act on spiderman is f = mg = 74 × 9.8 = 725.2 N

work done by gravity is W = F \delta r cos\theta

W = 725.2 \times 4.25 \times cos 180

where 180 is the angle between spiderman weight and displacement

W = -1844.513 J

Let's see

Use snells law

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \dfrac{n_1}{n_2}=\dfrac{sini}{sinr}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=\dfrac{sin30}{sin19.9}

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=0.5/0.34

\\ \rm\Rrightarrow \mu=1.47

A car moves in a circular motion and it is subject to a centripetal acceleration of 24 m/s2. If the radius of the circular path
Softa [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Centripetal acceleration is given by:

a_{c} = v^{2}/r

Thus, centripetal acceleration is inversely proportional to the radius. Thus, when radius will double, the centripetal acceleration will be halved.
