Answer:

\boxed{\sf Time \ in \ which \ train \ will \ come \ to \ rest = 20 \ sec}

Given:

Initial velocity (u) = 30 m/s

Final speed (v) = 0 m/s

Acceleration (a) = - 1.5 m/,s²

To Find:

Time in which train will come to rest (t).

Explanation:

\sf From \ equation \ of \ motion: \\ \sf \implies \bold{v = u + at} \\ \\ \sf Substituting \ value \ of \ v, \ u \ and \ a:  \\  \sf \implies 0 = 30 + ( - 1.5)(t) \\   \sf  \implies 0 = 30 - 1.5(t) \\  \sf \implies 30 - 1.5(t) = 0 \\  \\  \sf Subtract  \: 30  \: from  \: both  \: sides: \\  \sf \implies (30 -  \boxed{ \sf 30}) - 1.5(t) =  \boxed{ \sf  - 30} \\  \\  \sf 30 - 30 = 0 :  \\  \sf \implies  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \\  \\  \sf Divide  \: both  \: sides \:  of \:  - 1.5(t) =  - 30 \: by \:  - 1.5 :  \\  \sf \implies  \frac{  - 1.5(t)}{ \boxed{ \sf - 1.5}}  =  \frac{ - 30}{ \boxed{ \sf -1.5 }}  \\  \\  \sf \frac{ \cancel{ \sf 1.5}}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 1 :  \\  \sf \implies t =  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  \\  \\   \sf  \frac{ - 30}{ - 1.5}  =  \frac{\cancel{ \sf 1.5} \times 20}{\cancel{ \sf 1.5}}  = 20 :  \\  \sf  \implies t = 20 \: sec

So,

Time in which train will come to rest = 20 seconds

Now explore friction force. Set the piece of plastic or wood on the table and push it steadily across the tabletop using your fi
nydimaria [60]

Answer: If there is a higher friction, the opposition force is higher so that it can reduce our speed. So, a factor that affects friction is the roughness or smoothness of the surface of the object. In comparison of the table with the fabric, the fabric will have a more opposition force. As the surface of the fabric is usually rougher than the surface of a smooth table. As there is more friction on a fabric, we will feel more opposition force on our finger tip.

After an ice storm, ice falls from one of the top floors of a 65-story building. The ice falls freely under the influence of gra
adell [148]

Answer:

The correct answer is a) The kinetic energy of the ice increases by equal amounts for equal distances.

Explanation:

The law of conservation states that the energy cannot be created nor be destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.Before the ice even starts falling we already know that it possesses energy in the form of potential energy given by P=mgh where m is the mass of the ice , g is the acceleration due to gravity and h is the height of the ice above the ground whatever that may be, since a number is not given here.As the ice falls the energy is converted from potential energy to kinetic energy. We notice one thing about the equation for the potential energy P , which is that it is not only directly proportional to h but also is linear in h as well(which is the main reason why a) is correct) which means that if the ice drops by 1 meter the potential energy it will have lost would be ΔPE=mgΔh=-mg, where Δh is the change in its height which is 1 meter here.And according to the principle of conservation of energy this energy must be converted to kinetic energy so the ΔKE=-ΔPE=mg, and this process repeats and for each meter it falls, it picks up the same amount of kinetic energy equaling mg(which is the same as the loss in PE per each meter of fall). So a 2 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 2mg, a 3 meter decrease in height will result in an increase in KE of 3mg. gain in kinetic energy only depends on the drop in height, which is true irrespective of where the ice might happen to be in its journey close to the top or the bottom. So the drop in height of lets say x at any point in the journey will result in the same increase in KE = ΔKE = mgx. Which proves part a) to be correct.

A student has a rectangular block. It is 2 cm wide, 2 cm tall, and 25 cm long. It has a mass of 600 g. First, calculate the volu
WINSTONCH [101]

Answer:

6g/cm³

Explanation:

Density is the mass per unit volume of any substance. To solve this problem:

   

   Density  = \frac{mass}{volume}  

 Since mass = 600g

Let us find the volume;

    Volume  = length x width x height

   Volume  = 25cm x 2cm x 2cm  = 100cm³  

Therefore;

         Density  = \frac{600}{100}    = 6g/cm³

A 25.0 g marble sliding to the right at 20.0 cm/s overtakes and collides elastically with a 10.0 g marble moving in the same dir
vovikov84 [41]
In collision that are categorized as elastic, the total kinetic energy of the system is preserved such that,

   KE1  = KE2

The kinetic energy of the system before the collision is solved below.

  KE1 = (0.5)(25)(20)² + (0.5)(10g)(15)²
  KE1 = 6125 g cm²/s²

This value should also be equal to KE2, which can be calculated using the conditions after the collision.

KE2 = 6125 g cm²/s² = (0.5)(10)(22.1)² + (0.5)(25)(x²)

The value of x from the equation is 17.16 cm/s.

Hence, the answer is 17.16 cm/s.
