Initial speed of the train = 7 m/s
Final speed of the train = 17 m/s
Change of speed of the train = (17 - 7) m/s
                                               = 10 m/s
Time taken for the change of the speed of the train = 120 s
Then
Acceleration of the train = Change of speed of the train/Time taken for the change of speed
                                       = 10/120 m/s^2
                                       = 1/12 m/s^2
                                       = 0.083 m/s^2
So the acceleration of the train is 1/12 meter per second square or 0.083 m/s^2. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

What causes clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar
just olya [345]
<h2>Answer: Gravitational attraction </h2>

Gravity force causes the clouds of dust and gas to form a protostar. As this <u>attraction force</u> is responsible for gathering and compressing the existing elements in the cloud of gas and dust, heating them during this process.

Then, when the amount of material accumulated by gravitational contraction is large enough, and the temperature and pressure reached high enough, the <u>nuclear fusion</u> process will begin.

To understand it better: The hydrogen nuclei will begin to fuse, generating helium nuclei in the process and releasing huge amounts of energy.

It should be noted that the protostars radiate half of the energy contributed by the gravitational collapse and the other half is invested in heating its core.

Starting from rest, a disk rotates about its central axis with constant angular acceleration. In 1.00 s, it rotates 21.0 rad. Du
ELEN [110]

With constant angular acceleration \alpha, the disk achieves an angular velocity \omega at time t according to

\omega=\alpha t

and angular displacement \theta according to

\theta=\dfrac12\alpha t^2

a. So after 1.00 s, having rotated 21.0 rad, it must have undergone an acceleration of

21.0\,\mathrm{rad}=\dfrac12\alpha(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2\implies\alpha=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}

b. Under constant acceleration, the average angular velocity is equivalent to

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\omega_f+\omega_i}2

where \omega_f and \omega_i are the final and initial angular velocities, respectively. Then

\omega_{\rm avg}=\dfrac{\left(42.0\frac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)}2=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

c. After 1.00 s, the disk has instantaneous angular velocity

\omega=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)=42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}

d. During the next 1.00 s, the disk will start moving with the angular velocity \omega_0 equal to the one found in part (c). Ignoring the 21.0 rad it had rotated in the first 1.00 s interval, the disk will rotate by angle \theta according to

\theta=\omega_0t+\dfrac12\alpha t^2

which would be equal to

\theta=\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\rm s}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)+\dfrac12\left(42.0\dfrac{\rm rad}{\mathrm s^2}\right)(1.00\,\mathrm s)^2=63.0\,\mathrm{rad}

Estimate the electric field at a point 2.40 cm perpendicular to the midpoint of a uniformly charged 2.00-m-long thin wire carryi
nadya68 [22]

Answer:

E = 1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Explanation:

Hi!

The perpendicular distance 2.4cm, is much less than the distance to both endpoints of the wire, which is aprox 1m. Then the edge effect is negligible at this field point, and we can aproximate the wire as infinitely long.

The electric filed of an infinitely long wire is easy to calculate. Let's call z the axis along the wire. Because of its simmetry (translational and rotational), the electric field E must point in the radial direction,  and it cannot depende on coordinate z. To calculate the field Gauss law is used, as seen in the image, with a cylindrical gaussian surface. The result is:

E = \frac{\lambda}{2\pi \epsilon_0 r}\\\lambda=\text{charge per unit length}=\frac{4.95 \mu C}{2 m} = 2.475 \frac{C}{m}\\r=\text{perpendicular distance to wire}\\\epsilon_0=8.85*10^{-12}\frac{C^2}{Nm^2}

Then the electric field at the point of interest is estimated as:

E = \frac{\22.475}{2\pi*( 8.85*10^{-12})*(2.4*10^{-2})}\frac{N}{C}=1.85*10^{12}\frac{N}{C}

Hakeem was dismayed to discover that he offended coworkers by standing 2 feet away from them during business conversations. In t
Eddi Din [679]

Personal space differs from culture to culture, though it is widely acknowledged that Europe and U.S have bigger personal space requirements that their counterparts in Asia.

Hakeem might not realize it but it’s commonly accepted for Americans to have a distance between four to twelve feet between one another in social settings, especially in professional ones. A distance of two feet is only acceptable if the individual is part of the person’s inner circle, such as friends and family.
