Find the speed at which Superman (mass=78.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17863 kg) traveling at 75.0 km/hr to stop it. Runn

ing into the train at that speed would severely damage both train and passengers. Calculate the minimum time Superman must take to stop the train, if the passengers experience an average horizontal force of 0.580 their own weight. How far does the train then travel while being slowed to a stop?

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of superman, m = 78 kg

mass of train, M = 17863 kg

(a)

initial velocity of train, U = 75 km/h = 20.83 m/s

let u is the velocity of superman.

By using the conservation of momentum

m x u = M x V

78 x u = 17863 x 75

u = 17175.96 km/h = 4771.1 m/s

(b)

a = - 0.58 x 9.8 = - 5.684 m/s²

by first equation of motion

v = U + at

0 = 20.83 - 5.684 t

t = 3.66 s

use second equation of motion

s = Ut + 0.5 x at²

s = 20.83 x 3.66 - 0.5 x 5.684 x 3.66 x 3.66

s = 76.24 - 38.1

s = 38.1 m

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of superman=m=78 kg

Mass of train=m'=17863 kg

Speed of train=u'=75 km/h= $75\times \frac{5}{18}=20.8 m/s$

$1 km/h=\frac{5}{18} m/s$

Let initial speed of superman=u

Momentum=mv

Using the formula

$78u=17863\times 75$

$u=\frac{17863\times 75}{78}$

$u=17175.9 km/h$

Average horizontal force=0.58

Deceleration $a=-0.58\times 9.8=-5.68 m/s^2$

Final speed of train=v'=0

$v=u+at$

Using the formula

$0=20.8-5.68t$

$5.68t=20.8$

$t=\frac{v'-u'}{a}=\frac{0-20.8}{-5.68}$

$t=3.66 s$

$v^2-u^2=2as$

Using the formula

$0-(20.8)^2=2(-5.68)a$

$(20.8)^2=2(5.68)s$

$s={\frac{(20.8)^2}{2(5.68)}=38.1 m$

For atomic hydrogen, the Paschen series of lines occurs when nf = 3, whereas the Brackett series occurs when nf = 4 in the equat

zvonat [6]

Answer:

$(\lambda_{max} )_{brackett} < (\lambda_{min} )_{paschen}$

So the two wavelength range will over lap

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation is given by

$\frac{1}{\lambda} =\frac{2\pi mk^2e^4}{h^3c} t (\frac{1}{n^2_f}-\frac{1}{n^2_i} )$

m is the mass of electron

k = 1/4π∈₀

∈₀ = is the permitivity of free space

e is the charge of electron

h is the plank constant

c is the speed of light in vaccum

z is the atomic number = 1

$\frac{1}{\lambda} =R (\frac{1}{n^2_f}-\frac{1}{n^2_i} )$

where R is the Rydberg constant = 1.097373 × 10⁷m⁻¹

For Paschen series of H spectrum

$n_f = 3$

$n_i = 5,6,7 ...$

in Paschen series of H spectrum

The maximum wavelength occur for $n_i = 4$

$\frac{1}{\lambda_m_a_x } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{16} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=1874.6nm$

The minimum wavelength occur for $n_i$ = ∞

$\frac{1}{\lambda_m_i_n } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{9} - \frac{1}{_o_o} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=820.14nm$

The brackett series of H spectrum

The maximum wavelength occur for $n_i = 4$

$\frac{1}{\lambda_m_a_x } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{25} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=4050.05nm$

The minimum wavelength occur for $n_i$ = ∞

$\frac{1}{\lambda_m_i_n } =(1.097373 \times 10^7)(\frac{1}{16} - \frac{1}{_o_o} )\\\\\lambda_m_a_x=1458.03nm$

$(\lambda_{max} )_{brackett} < (\lambda_{min} )_{paschen}$

So the two wavelength range will over lap

Which of the following best models the changes in energy of a blackbody radiator?

Pani-rosa [81]

We have that a blackbody radiator either constantly absorbs energy or constantly emits energy, depending on its surroundings. In this case, the energy is continuously and smoothly decreasing, thus it cannot be like B and C.
The energy loss or gain is also monotonous, it has the same direction; a radiator cannot gain energy at some point and then lose some. Hence, it does not resemble a wave either. The most appropriate model is the ramp. Energy is constantly emitted to surroundings and it decreases monotonically.

Find the magnitude of the vector v given its initial and terminal points. Round your answer to four decimal places.

Sliva [168]

Complete Question

The complete question is shown on the first uploaded image

Answer:

The value is $|v| = 6.93$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The initial point is $(x_1 , y_1 , z_1 ) = (-1 , 7 , 4 )$

The terminal point is $(x_2 , y_2 , z_2) = (-5 , 11, 8 )$

Generally the magnitude of the vector is mathematically represented as

$|v| = \sqrt{(x_2 -x_1 )^2 + (y_2 - y_1 )^2 + (z_2 -z_1)^2}$

=> $|v| = \sqrt{(-5 -(-1) )^2 + (11 - 7 )^2 + (8 -4)^2}$

=> $|v| = 6.93$

Find the velocity. 10 points. Will give brainliest!

BARSIC [14]

Answer:

6.060606...

Explanation:

To figure out velocity, you divide the distance by the time it takes to travel that same distance, then you add your direction to it. So the distance would be 1000m and the time would be 2 minutes and 45 seconds and if you convert the minutes into fractions you would get 165 seconds than you would divide 1000m by 165 seconds and you would get 6.060606... seconds as her average velocity
