Answer:

Distance = 10m

Imagine a triangle

Length = 4 - 1 = 3

Height = 2 + 2 =4

Hypothenuse = Displacement

Displacement = 5

The system needs an ordinary friction-based brake to bring the train to a full stop. Explain why the magnetic brake is not very
BabaBlast [244]

Answer:

The slower the train is moving, the less are the changes of the magnetic flux, thus the eddy currents become weaker.

Explanation:

A magnetic brakes is not a very efficient way of braking when a train is moving slowly because at low speeds, the changes in the magnetic flux are very less and so it causes the eddy current to become weaker.

Let us find the drag force which is proportional to the velocity of two conducting plates.

The EMF that is induced in the eddy currents are : $E=v(B \times L)$

The force which is due to the induced magnetic field is, $F=l(L \times B)$

Therefore, $F=\frac{E}{R} \times (L \times B)$

                 $F=\frac{v(B \times L)}{R} \times (L \times B)$

Here, force is directly proportional to the velocity of the two conducting plates.

Therefore, we can say that when the speed of the train is low, the magnetic flux changes are less and thus the eddy currents are weaker.

An unwary football player collides with a padded goalpost while running at a velocity of 7.50 m/s and comes to a full stop after
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

(a) 80.36 m/s^2

(b)  0.0933 second

Explanation:

initial velocity, u = 7.5 m/s

final velocity, v = 0 m/s

distance moved, s = 0.350 m

(a) Let a be the deceleration.

Use third equation of motion

v^{2}=u^{2}+2\times a\times s

0^{2}=7.5^{2}+2\times a\times 0.350

a = 80.36 m/s^2

Thus, the deceleration is 80.36 m/s^2.

(b) Let the time taken is t

Use first equation of motion

v = u + a t

0 = 7.5 + 80.36 x t

t = 0.0933 second

Two ice skaters stand together. They push off and travel directly away from each other, the boy with a velocity of v = +0.35 m/s
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

-0.55m/s

Explanation:

Given that: For the boy

Weight = 745N

Velocity = +0.35 m/s

Mass of the boy = ?

g = 9.81m/s^2

W = mg

745 = m×9.81

m = 75.94kg

For the girl

Given that:

Weight = 477 N

g = 9.81m/s^2

m = ?

W = mg

477 = m×9.81m/s^2

m = 48.62kg

To solve for the v of the girl, the two has to add up

48.62kg×v + 75.94kg×+0.35 m/s = 0

48.62v + 26.579 = 0

48.62v = - 26.579

v = -26.579/48.62

v = -0.5466

v = -0.55m/s

Hence, the velocity of the girl is -0.55m/s.

The negative sign is as a result of the two of them moving is opposite direction.
