A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s.

It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m before slowing down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station. a. What is the distance between the stations? b. How much time does it take the train to go between the stations?

Answer:

A.) 1430 metres

B.) 80 seconds

Explanation:

Given that the train accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s. The initial velocity U will be:

U = acceleration × time

U = 1.1 × 20 = 22 m/s

It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m

Then, time t will be

Time = distance/ velocity

Time = 1100/22

Time = 50 s

before slowing down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station.

Deceleration = velocity/time

2.2 = 22/t

t = 22/2.2

t = 10s

Using area under the graph, the distance between the two stations will be :

(1/2 × 22 × 20) + 1100 + (1/2 × 22 × 10)

220 + 1100 + 110

1430 m

The time taken between the two stations will be

20 + 50 + 10 = 80 seconds

Assuming that 50% of the initial kinetic energy of the bullet is converted into thermal energy in the bullet and the specific he
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

\Delta T=\frac{v_{i}^{2}}{4c}

Explanation:

Let the mass of bullet is m, initial velocity of bullet is vi and c be the specific heat of the bullet.

Kinetic energy, K = 1/2 mvi^2

According to the question, 50% of the kinetic energy is equal to the heat energy absorbed by the bullet.

50% of K = mass of bullet x specific heat x rise in temperature

1/4 mvi^2 = m x c x ΔT

\Delta T=\frac{v_{i}^{2}}{4c}

What is the wavelength of this wave
zhannawk [14.2K]

\mathfrak{\huge{\orange{\underline{\underline{AnSwEr:-}}}}}

Actually Welcome to the Concept of the Waves.

Wavelength is the distance between two consecutive crest or trough.

hence, here the distance is 10cm

So the wavelength is 10cm

===> 10 cm

(1 point) Which of the following statements are true?A.The equation Ax=b is referred to as a vector equation.B.If the augmented
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

A. False

B. False

C. True

D. True

E. True

F. True

Explanation:

A. The equation Ax=b is referred to as a matrix equation and not vector equation.

B. If the augmented matrix [ A b ] has a pivot position in every​ row then equation Ax=b may or may not be consistent. It is inconsistent if [A b] has a pivot in the last column b and it is consistent if the matrix A has a pivot in every row.

C. In the product of Ax also called the dot product the first entry is a sum of products. For example the the product of Ax where A has [a11 a12 a13] in the first entry of each column and the corresponding entries in x are [x1 x2 x3] then the first entry in the product is the sum of products i.e.  a11x1 + a12x2 +a13x3

D. If the columns of mxn matrix A span R^m, this states that every possible vector b in R^m is a linear combination of the columns which makes the equation consistent. So the equation Ax=b has at least one solution for each b in R^m.

E. It is stated that a vector equation x1a1 + x2a2 + x3a3 + ... + xnan = b has the same solution set as that of the linear system with augmented matrix [a1 a2 ... an b]. So the solution set of linear system whose augmented matrix is [a1 a2 a3 b] is the same as solution set of Ax=b if A=[a1 a2 a3]  and b can be produced by linear combination of a1 a2 a3 iff the solution of linear system corresponding to [a1 a2 a3 b] takes place.

F.  It is true because lets say b is a vector in R^m which is not in the span of  the columns. b cannot be obtained for some x which belongs to R^m as b = Ax. So Ax=b is inconsistent for some b in R^m and has no solution.
