If a speeding train hits the brakes and it takes the train 39 seconds to go from 54.8 m/s to 12 m/s what is the acceleration?

Answer:

-1.09m/sec^2

Explanation:

Acceleration= (Vf-Vi)/Time

=12-54.8

= -42.8

= -42.8/39

=-1.09

-ve sign is due to recoil of train

as it suddenly hits brakes.

Answer:1.097 m/s^2

Explanation:

a=(final velocity- initial velocity )/time

=(54.8-12)/39

=1.097 m/s^2

A truck is traveling due north at 50 km/hr approaching a crossroad. On a perpendicular road a police car is traveling west towar
kirill [66]

Answer:45\hat{i}+50\hat{j}

Explanation:

Truck velocity=50 km/hr

police car velocity =45 km/hr

Let they start at t=0 s

After one hour

truck displacement=50\times 1=50 km

In vector Form(r_1)=50\hat{j}

For Police car displacement=45\times 1=45 km

in vector form(r_2)=-45\hat{i}

r_{12}=50\hat{j}-(-45\hat{i})

r_{12}=45\hat{i}+50\hat{j}

The distance versus this plot for a particular object shows a quadratic relationship. Which column of distance data is possible
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

In Column A, the pattern is 1², 2², 3², etc.  So x(t) = t², which is quadratic.

In Column B, the pattern is 2*1, 2*2, 2*3, etc.  So x(t) = 2t, which is linear.

In Column C, the pattern is 9*1, 9*2, 9*3, etc.  So x(t) = 9t, which is linear.

In Column D, the pattern is 1/1, 1/2, 1/3, etc.  So x(t) = 1/t, which is reciprocal.

In Column E, the pattern is 1/1², 1/2², 1/3², etc.  So x(t) = 1/t², which is reciprocal.

You throw a ball upward with a speed of 14m/s. What is the acceleration of the ball after it leaves your hand? Ignore air resist
omeli [17]

The acceleration of the ball after leaving the hand is 9.8 m/s^2 downward

Explanation:

In order to find the acceleration of the ball during its motion, we have to study which forces are acting on it.

After the ball leaves the hand, if we neglect air resistance, there is only one force acting on the ball: the force of gravity, whose magnitude is

F=mg

where m is the mass of the ball and g is the acceleration of gravity (g=9.8 m/s^2), acting in the downward direction.

According to Newton's second law, the acceleration of the ball is given by

a=\frac{\sum F}{m}

where

\sum F is the net force acting on the ball

After the ball leaves the hand, the only force acting on it is the force of gravity, so we can substitute (mg) into the previous equation:

a=\frac{mg}{m}=g=9.8 m/s^2

This means that the acceleration of the ball remains 9.8 m/s^2 downward for the entire motion, after leaving the hand.

Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May. He feels a shore breeze blowing from theocean onto the beach. What
Pavel [41]

Answer: A.The ocean is colder than the land

Explanation:

Based on the information provided in the question, we are informed that Agustin visits Panama City, Florida, during the month of May and that he feels a shore breeze blowing from the ocean onto the beach.

The reason for the shore breeze is simply due to the fact that the ocean is colder than the land. Since the ocean is colder, anyone who goes to the beach will feel the breeze.
