Answer:

23.0 s

Explanation:

Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 19.8 m/s

a = 4.80 m/s²

Find: Δx and t

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(19.8 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (4.80 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 40.84 m

v = at + v₀

19.8 m/s = (4.80 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 4.125 s

The elevator takes 40.84 m and 4.125 s to accelerate, and therefore also 40.84 m and 4.125 s to decelerate.

That leaves 291.3 m to travel at top speed.  The time it takes is:

291.3 m / (19.8 m/s) = 14.71 s

The total time is 4.125 s + 14.71 s + 4.125 s = 23.0 s.

Advocard [28]

Answer:

Resistivity ρ=1.12 x 10^-4 Ωm

Explanation:

ρ= RA/l, where R is resistance, A is cross sectional area and l is length

A=πr^2

Note Current is given R is proportion to temperature and inversely proportional to Current R=(20+273)/14*10^-2 =2000Ω

⇒ρ=R*πr^2/l all length in metre.

What is the acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of itsthree engines can provide 100,000 n of force?
sergey [27]

The acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of its three engines can provide 100,000N of force is 0.167m/s².

<h3>How to calculate acceleration?</h3>

The acceleration of a freight train can be calculated using the following formula:

Force = mass × acceleration

According to this question, a 600,000kg freight train can produce 100,000N of force. The acceleration is as follows:

100,000 = 600,000 × a

100,000 = 600,000a

a = 0.167m/s²

Therefore, the acceleration of a 600,000 kg freight train, if each of its three engines can provide 100,000N of force is 0.167m/s².
