A red train traveling at 72 km/hr and a green train traveling at 144 km/hr are headed toward one another along a straight level

track. When they are 950 meters apart, each enginneer sees the other's train and applies the brakes. The brakes decelerate each train at the rate of 2.0 m/s^2. Is there a colllision? If so, what is the speed of each train at impact? If not, what is the separtion between the trains when they stop?

First, convert all the km/hr into m/s

You will get that
initial speed = 20 m/s
Initial speed of Green train = 40 m/s
Initial separation = 950 m
Velocity of approach =  20 - -40 = 60 m/s
relative acceleration = -4 m/s^2

v = u + at
0 = 60 - 4t

t = 15s

s = ut + 1/2  *at * t

s = 60 * 15  - 1/2 *4 * 225
s = 900 - 450

Separation when they stop  = 450 m

hope this helps

If =12a andthe distance from each wire to point p is 0.12m, then what is the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on
vaieri [72.5K]

The magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is

2×10⁻⁵  N/m

<h3>How can we calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire ?</h3>

To calculate the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire, we are using the formula

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Here we are given,

\mu_0= magnetic permeability

= 4\pi×10⁻⁷ H m⁻¹

If= 12 A

d= distance from each wire to point.

=0.12m

Now we put the known values in the above equation, we get

F= \frac{\mu_0 I_f}{2\pi d}

Or, F = \frac{4\pi \times 10^{-7}\times  12}{2\pi \times 0.12}

Or, F= 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.

From the above calculation, we can conclude that the magnitude of the magnetic force per unit length on the top wire is 2×10⁻⁵ N/m.

If a population is growing what can you conclude about the ammount of resources available
Elodia [21]

Answer:

Generally speaking, as the human population grows, our consumption of natural resources increases. More humans consume more freshwater, more land, more clothing, etc. ... For example, natural gas plants have become increasingly more efficient, thus humans are able to obtain more energy out of the same amount of gas.

Rapid population growth is detrimental to achieving economic and social progress and to sustainable management of the natural resource base. But there remains a sizeable gap between the private and social interest in fertility reduction, and this gap needs to be narrowed.
