Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities are capable of modest accelerations. The magni

tude of the maximum acceleration is typically 1.3 m/s2 , but the driver will usually maintain a constant acceleration that is less than the maximum. A train travels through a congested part of town at 4.0m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 13m/s in 8.0 s . At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed.
What is the final speed?
Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

During the first phase of acceleration we have:
v o = 4 m/s;  t = 8 s; v = 13 m/s, a = ?
v = v o + a * t
13 m/s = 4 m / s + a * 8 s
a * 8 s = 9 m/s
a = 9 m/s : 8 s
a = 1.125 m/s²
The final speed:
v = ?;  v o = 13 m/s; a = 1.125 m/s² ;  t = 16 s
v = v o + a * t
v = 13 m/s + 1.125 m/s² * 16 s
v = 13 m/s + 18 m/s = 31 m/s

Goshia [24]

Complete Question:

Metal sphere A has a charge of − Q . −Q. An identical metal sphere B has a charge of + 2 Q . +2Q. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere B due to sphere A is F . F. The magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B must be:

A. 2F

B. F/4

C. F/2

D. F

E. 4F

Answer:

D.

Explanation:

If both spheres can be treated as point charges, they must obey the Coulomb's law, that can be written as follows (in magnitude):

F =\frac{kQ*2Q}{r^{2} }

As it can be seen, this force is proportional to the product of the charges, so it must be the same for both charges.

As this force obeys also the Newton's 3rd Law, we conclude that the magnitude of the electric force on sphere A due to sphere B, must be equal to the the magnitude of the force on the sphere B due to the sphere A, i.e., just F.
