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

Lab: Motion
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer: In this lab we wanted to know how motion can be described. So the hypothesis is if the starting height of a sloped racetrack is increased, then the speed at which a toy car travels along the track will increase because the toy car will have a greater acceleration. My prediction is that cars travel faster on higher tracts. So the heighten the track was intentionally manipulated. So it is the independent variable the speed of the car is the dependent variable. The speed at the first quarter checkpoint is 1.09 m/s. The speed at the second quarter checkpoint is 1.95 m/s. The speed at the third quarter checkpoint is 2.373.36 m/s. The speed at the finish line is  2.803.00 m/s. The average speed increases as the height increases.

The cars on the higher track travel farther than the cars on the lower track, in the same time.

This means that the cars on the higher track have a greater average speed than those on the lower track. This is demonstrated by the

slope of the higher track line being greater than the slope of the lower track line.

Explanation: put it in notes then send it to files to compress it to submit it.

What must be the length of a simple pendulum if its oscillation frequency is to be equal to that of an air-track glider of mass
Anvisha [2.4K]

Answer:

the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the air-track glider, m = 0.25 kg

spring constant, k = 9.75 N/m

let the length of the simple pendulum = L

let the frequency of the air-track glider which is equal to frequency of simple pendulum = F

The oscillation frequency of air-track glider is calculated as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{k}{m} } \\\\F = \frac{1}{2\pi } \sqrt{\frac{9.75}{0.25} } \\\\F = 0.994 \ Hz

The frequency of the simple pendulum is given as;

F = \frac{1}{2\pi} \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi(F) = \sqrt{\frac{g}{l} } \\\\2\pi (0.994) = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\6.2455 = \sqrt{\frac{9.8}{l} } \\\\(6.2455)2 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\39.006 = \frac{9.8}{l} \\\\l = \frac{9.8}{39.006} \\\\l = 0.25 \ m

Thus, the length of the simple pendulum is 0.25 m.

Suppose that a sound wave has a wavelength of 12 meters and a frequency of 100Hz. What is the speed of sound
Vesna [10]

Answer:

1200Hz

Explanation:

You would have to multiply 12 by 100 to get the answer.


12 • 100 = 1200 Hz

A helicopter, initially hovering 40 feet above the ground, begins to gain altitude at a rate of 21 feet per second. Which of the
Montano1993 [528]

Answer: y = 40 + 21t

Explanation:

Apply the equation of distance covered.

d = vt + C

Where d is the distance covered

v = velocity , t = time

C = constant = initial distance covered

For the case above....

d = y

y(t) = vt + C

But y(0) =40 = C

C = 40ft

velocity v = 21 ft/s

Therefore, the equation of the altitude is given by;

y(t) = 21t +40

y = 40 + 21t
