Two trains A and B of length 400 m each are moving on two parallel tracks with

Physics
1 answer:
Vinvika [58]3 years ago

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>The initial distance between the trains is 1450 m. </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question two trains are of equal length 400 m and moves at a uniform speed of 72 km/h. train A is moving ahead of train B. If the train B has to overtake train A it should accelerate.

Train B’s acceleration  is 1m/s^2   and it accelerated for 50 seconds.

<em>a=1 m/s^2</em>

<em>t=50 s </em>

<em>initial speed u=72km/h </em>

<em>we have to convert this speed into m/s  </em>

<em>u=72 \times 5/18=20 m/s</em>

<em>Distance covered in accelerating phase  S=ut+1/2  at^2  </em>

<em>=20 \times 50+1/2 \times 1 \times 50^2</em>

<em>=1000+1250=2250 m </em>

If  a train is just behind another, the distance covered by the train located behind during overtaking phase will be equal to the sum of the lengths of the trains.

<em>Here length of train A+length of train B=400+400=800 m</em>

<em>Hence the initial distance between the trains = 2250-800=1450 m</em>

A sinusoidal sound wave moves through a medium and is described by the displacement wave function
ZanzabumX [31]

By applying the wave equation we know that the maximum speed of the element's oscillatory motion is 1716 micrometer / s.

We need to know about wave equations to solve this problem. The displacement of the wave on the y-axis can be explained by the wave equation

y = A cos (kx - ωt)

where y is y-axis displacement, A is amplitude, k is wave number, x is x-axis displacement, ω is angular speed and t is time.

the wavenumber and angular speed of the wave equation can be determined respectively by

k = 2π / λ

ω = 2πf

where k is the wavenumber, λ is wavelength and f is frequency.

From the question above, we know that:

y = 2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)

v = dy / dt

v = d(2.00cos (15.7x - 858t)) / dt

v = -858 x (-2.00sin(15.7x - 858t))

v = 1716 sin(15.7x - 858t) micrometer/s

maximum velocity can be reached when (sinθ = 1), hence

v = 1716 sin(15.7x - 858t)

v = 1716 x 1

v = 1716 micrometer / s

1. Which of the following states would likely get hit by both hurricanes and tornadoes? (Points : 1)
bogdanovich [222]
I would have to say Texas because, obviously, its on the coast, and because I know for a fact Oklahoma is VERY prone to Tornadoes and I also know Dallas (and surrounding areas) has a few tornadoes a year:)

I hope I helped:)

Digiron [165]

32 = 0 \times t +  \frac{1}{2} \times 2.5 \times t^{2}     \\  32 = 0 + 1.25 \times t {}^{2}  \\ 32 = 1.25t {}^{2}   \\   \frac{32}{1.25}  =  \frac{1.25t {}^{2} }{1.25}  \\ t {}^{2}  = 25.6 \\  \sqrt{t {}^{2} }  =  \sqrt{25.6}  \\ t = 5.1seconds \\

A thermodynamic system undergoes a process in which its internal energy decreases by 1,477 J. If at the same time 678 J of therm
Andrews [41]

Answer:2155 J

Explanation:

Given

Change in Internal energy \Delta U=-1477 J i.e. decrease in Internal Energy

Heat added to system Q=678 J

According First law for a system

dQ=dU+dW

678=-1477+dW

dW=2155 J

Thus 2155 J of work is done by system
