The floor of a railroad flatcar is loaded with loose crates having a coefficient of static friction of 0.320 with the floor. If

the train is initially moving at a speed of 49.0 km/h, in how short a distance can the train be stopped at constant acceleration without causing the crates to slide over the floor?

Answer:  29.50 m

Explanation: In order to calculate the higher accelation to stop a train  without moving the crates inside the wagon which is traveling at constat speed we have to use the second Newton law so that:

f=μ*N the friction force is equal to coefficient of static friction  multiply the normal force (m*g).

f=m.a=μ*N= m*a= μ*m*g= m*a

then

a=μ*g=0.32*9.8m/s^2= 3.14 m/s^2

With this value we can determine the short distance to stop the train

as follows:

x= vo*t- (a/2)* t^2

Vf=0= vo-a*t then t=vo/a

Finally; x=vo*vo/a-a/2*(vo/a)^2=vo^2/2a= (49*1000/3600)^2/(2*3.14)=29.50 m

The inner planets are rocky because The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

What are rocky planets?

  • Rocky planets are the planet in which constituents are mostly silicate rocks or metal. They are also regarded as a planet with a solid surface.
  • The formation of rocky planets is said to have occurred billions of years ago and its process of formation is termed accretion. Through accretion are its constituents formed as the more it goes bigger, the higher the rising temperature and pressure in its core and the elements which have to undergo accreted heat up, melt, and spread. Through this process, heavier elements go deeper into the core of the planet and lighter elements float toward the surface.
  • In the formation of rocky planets, the inner portions of the disk are said to be warm from the protostar thereby resulting in the production of the heavy elements that stay there.
  • Examples of rocky planets are Earth or Mars

Hence, from the above, we can say that,

The warm temperatures in the inner disk caused the inner planetesimals to be formed of mostly rocky material.

Here,

Option A is correct.

just olya [345]

Answer:

9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m

Explanation:

According to Heisenberg uncertainty principle

Uncertainty in position x uncertainty in momentum ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δp = mΔV

ΔV = Uncertainty in velocity

= 2 x 10⁻⁶ x 3 / 100

= 6 x 10⁻⁸

mass m = 0.9 x 10⁻¹⁵ x 10⁻³ kg

m = 9 x 10⁻¹⁹

Δp = mΔV

= 9 x 10⁻¹⁹ x 6 x 10⁻⁸

= 54 x 10⁻²⁷

Δ X x Δp ≥ h / 4π

Δ X x  54 x 10⁻²⁷ ≥ h / 4π

Δ X = h / 4π x 1 /  54 x 10⁻²⁷

= \frac{6.6\times10^{-34}}{4\times3.14\times54\times10^{-27}}

= 9.73 x 10⁻¹⁰ m
