(ii) Describe how the acceleration of the train at time t = 100 s differs from the acceleration

quester [9]

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with time. When acceleration increases a body moves a faster velocity.

In the graph acceleration at time t= 100s is rapidly increasing.
At t = 20s, the acceleration of the body is getting started up.

A vehicle at time 100s will have a faster velocity compared to one at t = 20s

A certain light truck can go around a flat curve having a radius of 150 m with a maximum speed of 35.5 m/s. a) What is the coeff

postnew [5]

Answer:

The coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is <u>0.833</u>.

Explanation:

Given:

Radius of the curve (R) = 150 m

Maximum speed of truck (v) = 35.5 m/s

Let the coefficient of friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck be "μ".

As the truck is moving around a circular curve. So, the force acting on it is centripetal force which acts in the radial inward direction towards the center of the circular curve.

The centripetal force acting on the truck is given as:

$F_c=\frac{mv^2}{R}$

Now, the friction between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is responsible for providing the necessary centripetal force. So, frictional force is equal to the centripetal force necessary for circular motion.

Frictional force is given as:

$f=\mu N$

Where, 'N' is the normal force. Since there is no vertical motion, the normal force is equal to weight of truck. So,

$N=mg$

Therefore, frictional force, $f=\mu mg$

Now, frictional force = centripetal force

$f=F_c\\\\\mu mg=\frac{mv^2}{R}\\\\\mu = \frac{v^2}{Rg}$

Plug in the given values and solve for 'μ'. This gives,

$\mu=\frac{(35\ m/s)^2}{(150\ m)(9.8\ m/s^2)}\\\\\mu=\frac{1225\ m^2/s^2}{1470\ m^2/s^2}\\\\\mu=0.833$

Therefore, the coefficient of friction present between the roadway and the wheels of the truck is 0.833

If 35 mg of Oxygen is mixed with 1000 g of water at 25 degrees Celsius, a solution forms.

Serjik [45]

Answer:

The solute is oxygen

The solvent is water

Explanation:

A solvent is any chemical substance that dissolves other chemical substances, while a solute refers to any chemical substance that dissolves in other chemical substances. The best way to know when a chemical substance dissolves in another chemical substance is when a solid or gas dissolves in water. The solid or the gas can now be referred to as the solute and it will be shown to be in the the aqueous state, while the solvent is usually shown to be in the liquid state in any chemical equation.

Let us use the particular example of the dissolution of oxygen gas in water as shown below;

O2(g) + H2O(l)⇄O2(aq) + H2O(l)

The aqueous oxygen is the solute while the liquid water is the solvent.

Also, the substance having a smaller mass must be the solute and the substance having the larger mass must be the solvent.

If you lived on the Moon, would you see Earth go through phases? If so, would the sequence of phases be the same as those of the

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

yes; yes

Explanation:

Phases of the moon refers to the shapes of the moon due to the lit part of it visible from the Earth. On a new moon day, the moon comes between the sun and the earth such that the lit portion is not visible from the Earth. On a full moon day, the earth comes between the sun and the moon and the whole lit part is visible.

When one would view the earth from the moon, the earth would also be visible as going through the phases. The order would be reversed. Understand this with the following example, On a new moon day, the Earth would be visible completely lit from the moon. So it will be full Earth day on the moon. On a full moon day, the lit side of the Earth would be completely away and hence, from the moon, new earth would be there.
