Two trains run in the same direction. The one behind has double the length of the one ahead. The initial distance of separation

= 200 m. The speeds are(a) train in front = 36 km/h(b) train behind = 108 km/h. If it took 40 seconds for the longer train to overtake the shorter one , find the length of the shorter train.

Answer:

The shorter train has a length of 600m

Explanation:

The equation of motion of the first train can be written as:

x'=v't  (1)

v' = 108km/h = 30m/s

Furthermore, you can write the equation of motion of the second train as:

x=(200+l)+vt  = xo + vt  (2)

v = 36km/h = 10m/s

where you have taken the initial position as measured from the front of the first train to the front of the second one. l is the length of the second train and 200 the separation of it respect to the first train.

For t = 40 both trains have the same position, that is, x=x'. Then, you equal equations (1) and (2), replace t=40, and solve the equation for l:

x'=x\\\\v't=200+l+vt\\\\(30m/s)(40s)=200+l+(10m/s)(40s)\\\\l=600m

Hence, the first train has a length of 600 m

The train behind, or the second train, has twice the length of the first train:

l'=2l=2(600m)=1200m

The shorter train has a length of 600m

A rock is thrown vertically upward from some height above the ground. It rises to some maximum height and falls back to the grou
True [87]

Answer:

At the highest point the velocity is zero, the acceleration is directed downward.

Explanation:

This is a free-fall problem, in the case of something being thrown or dropped, the acceleration is equal to -gravity, so -9.80m/s^2. So, the acceleration is never 0 here.

I attached an image from my lecture today, I find it to be helpful. You can see that because of gravity the acceleration is pulled downwards.

At the highest point the velocity is 0, but it's changing direction and that's why there's still an acceleration there.

You kick a ball with a speed of 14 m/s at an angle of 51°. How far away does the ball land?
In-s [12.5K]
-- The vertical component of the ball's velocity is 14 sin(<span>51°) = 10.88 m/s

-- The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s².

-- The ball rises for 10.88/9.8 seconds, then stops rising, and drops for the
same amount of time before it hits the ground.

-- Altogether, the ball is in the air for (2 x 10.88)/(9.8) = 2.22 seconds
==================================

-- The horizontal component of the ball's velocity is  14 cos(</span><span>51°) = 8.81 m/s

-- At this speed, it covers a horizontal distance of (8.81) x (2.22) = <em><u>19.56 meters</u></em>
before it hits the ground.


As usual when we're discussing this stuff, we completely ignore air resistance.

2) The horizontal and vertical components of the initial velocity of a football are 16 m/s and 20 m/s respectively. How long doe
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer: 2.04 s

Explanation:

Let the initial velocity be v, Angle of projectile be

Then the horizontal component = v cos θ = 16 m/s

Vertical component of velocity = v sin θ = 20 m/s

Time taken to reach the highest point is half the time taken for total flight.

Time for total flight,

t = \frac{2vsin \theta}{g}

t'=\frac{vsin \theta}{g} = \frac {20 m/s}{9.8 m/s^2} = 2.04 s

Thus, the football takes 2.04 s to rise to the highest point of its trajectory.
