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

At a depth of 1030 m in Lake Baikal (a fresh water lake in Siberia), the pressure has increased by 100 atmospheres (to about 107
dangina [55]

Answer:

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.

Explanation:

The bulk modulus is represented by the following differential equation:

K = - V\cdot \frac{dP}{dV}

Where:

K - Bulk module, measured in pascals.

V - Sample volume, measured in cubic meters.

P - Local pressure, measured in pascals.

Now, let suppose that bulk remains constant, so that differential equation can be reduced into a first-order linear non-homogeneous differential equation with separable variables:

-\frac{K \,dV}{V} = dP

This resultant expression is solved by definite integration and algebraic handling:

-K\int\limits^{V_{f}}_{V_{o}} {\frac{dV}{V} } = \int\limits^{P_{f}}_{P_{o}}\, dP

-K\cdot \ln \left |\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = P_{f} - P_{o}

\ln \left| \frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} \right| = \frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K}

\frac{V_{f}}{V_{o}} = e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }

The final volume is predicted by:

V_{f} = V_{o}\cdot e^{\frac{P_{o}-P_{f}}{K} }

If V_{o} = 1\,m^{3}, P_{o} - P_{f} = -10132500\,Pa and K = 2.3\times 10^{9}\,Pa, then:

V_{f} = (1\,m^{3}) \cdot e^{\frac{-10.1325\times 10^{6}\,Pa}{2.3 \times 10^{9}\,Pa} }

V_{f} \approx 0.996\,m^{3}

Change in volume due to increasure on pressure is:

\Delta V = V_{o} - V_{f}

\Delta V = 1\,m^{3} - 0.996\,m^{3}

\Delta V = 0.004\,m^{3}

A volume of a cubic meter of water from the surface of the lake has been compressed in 0.004 cubic meters.
