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

The tub of a washer goes into its spin cycle, starting from rest and gaining angular speed steadily for 7.00 s, at which time it

Schach [20]

Answer:

The tub of the washer does 37.5 revolutions while it is in motion.

Explanation:

At first we assume that the tub accelerates and decelerates uniformly. In this case, it is required to determine the number of revolutions done by the tub by means of the following equations of motion:

Acceleration

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{\dot n_{1}-\dot n_{1,o}}{t_{1}}$ (Eq. 1)

Where:

$\ddot n_{1}$ - Angular acceleration experimented by the tub, measured in revolutions per square second.

$\dot n_{1,o}$ , $\dot n_{1}$ - Initial and final angular velocities of the tub, measured in revolutions per second.

$t_{1}$ - Acceleration time, measured in seconds.

$\Delta n_{1} = \dot n_{1,o}\cdot t_{1}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \ddot n_{1}\cdot t_{1}^{2}$ (Eq. 2)

Where $\Delta n_{1}$ is the change in angular position of the tub during acceleration, measured in revolutions.

Deceleration

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{\dot n_{2}-\dot n_{1}}{t_{2}}$ (Eq. 3)

Where:

$\ddot n_{2}$ - Angular acceleration experimented by the tub, measured in revolutions per square second.

$\dot n_{1}$ , $\dot n_{2}$ - Initial and final angular velocities of the tub, measured in revolutions per second.

$t_{2}$ - Deceleration time, measured in seconds.

$\Delta n_{2} = \dot n_{1}\cdot t_{2}+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \ddot n_{2}\cdot t_{2}^{2}$ (Eq. 4)

If we know that $\dot n_{1,o} =0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $\dot n_{1} = 5\,\frac{rev}{s}$ , $t_{1} = 7\,s$ , $\dot n_{2} = 0\,\frac{rev}{s}$ and $t_{2} = 8\,s$ , then the amount of revolutions done by the tub during each phase is, respectively:

(Eq. 1)

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{5\,\frac{rev}{s}-0\,\frac{rev}{s} }{7\,s}$

$\ddot n_{1} = \frac{5}{7}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

(Eq. 3)

$\ddot n_{2} = \frac{0\,\frac{rev}{s}-5\,\frac{rev}{s} }{8\,s}$

$\ddot n_{2} = -\frac{5}{8}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}$

(Eq. 2)

$\Delta n_{1} = \left(0\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)\cdot (7\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(\frac{5}{7}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}\right) \cdot (7\,s)^{2}$

$\Delta n_{1} = \frac{35}{2}\,rev$

(Eq. 4)

$\Delta n_{2} = \left(5\,\frac{rev}{s} \right)\cdot (8\,s)+\frac{1}{2}\cdot \left(-\frac{5}{8}\,\frac{rev}{s^{2}}\right) \cdot (8\,s)^{2}$

$\Delta n_{2} = 20\,rev$

The total amount of revolutions done by the tub while it is in motion is:

$\Delta n_{T} = \Delta n_{1}+\Delta n_{2}$

$\Delta n_{T} = 37.5\,rev$

The tub of the washer does 37.5 revolutions while it is in motion.

As frequency increases, what happens to the tone (or pitch) of a sound? Which option is it?

icang [17]

Answer:

gets higher

Explanation:

There are videos that show the range of human hearing. If you would play the video, you would notice that if the frequency increases, the pitch would also increase.

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?

Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.
