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

Physics

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>

Will water pressure be greater at the bottom of a container that you put a hole in or at the top of a container?

Can you think of a scenario when the kinetic and gravitational potential energy could both be zero ? Describe or draw how this c
Inga [223]

Both kinetic and gravitational potential energy can become zero at infinite distance from the Earth.

Consider an object  of mass <em>m </em>projected from the surface of the Earth with a velocity <em>v. </em>

The total energy of the body on the surface of the Earth is the sum of its kinetic energy \frac{1}{2} mv^2and gravitational potential energy -\frac{GMm}{R^2}.

here, <em>M</em> is the mass of the Earth, <em>R</em> is the radius of Earth and <em>G</em> is the universal gravitational constant.

The gravitational potential energy of the object is negative since it is in an attractive field, which is the gravitational field of the Earth.

The energy of the object on the surface of the earth is given by,

E_i=\frac{1}{2} mv^2-\frac{GMm}{R^2}

As the object rises upwards, it experiences deceleration due to the gravitational force of the Earth. Its velocity decreases and hence its kinetic energy decreases.

The decrease in kinetic energy is manifested as  an equal increase in potential energy. The potential energy becomes less and less negative as more and more kinetic energy is converted into potential energy.

At a height <em>h</em> from the surface of the Earth, the energy of the object is given by,

E_h=\frac{1}{2} mv_h^2-\frac{GMm}{(R+h)^2}

The velocity v_h is less than <em>v</em>.

When h =∞, the gravitational potential energy increases from a negative value to zero.

If the velocity of projection is adjusted in such a manner that the velocity decreases to zero at infinite distance from the earth, the object's kinetic energy also becomes equal to zero.

Thus, it is possible for both kinetic and potential energies to be zero at infinite distance from the Earth. In this case, kinetic energy decreases from a positive value to zero and the gravitational potential energy increases from  a negative value to zero.

Why isn't Coulomb's law valid for dielectric objects, even if they are spherically symmetrical?
marshall27 [118]

Answer:

Explanation:

The "traditional" form of Coulomb's law, explicitly the force between two point charges. To establish a similar relationship, you can use the integral form for a continuous charge distribution and calculate the field strength at a given point.

In the case of moving charges, we are in presence of a current, which generates magnetic effects that in turn exert force on moving charges, therefore, no longer can consider only the electrostatic force.

Study the following reaction carefully. What classification should this reaction have?
Mariulka [41]

Answer:

Synthesis reaction

Explanation:

Synthesis reaction: two or more compounds combine to form one.

A + B → C

Decomposition reaction: one compound forms two or more.

C → A + B

Single replacement reaction: an element in one compound is replaced with another element.

AB + C → AC + B

Double replacement reaction: elements in two compounds replace each other.

AB + CD → AC + BD
