Newton's first law of motion is sometimes called the law of inertia. When the forces acting on an object are balanced, the object is either at rest or moving with a constant velocity. Unbalanced forces can cause an object to accelerate or decelerate. Unbalanced forces can also cause an object to change direction.
Hope that helps!
E mass number of any given atom depends solely on the number of protons and neutrons in its nucleus. The mass number of any atom can be determined by adding the number of protons and neutrons. (Mathematically this is stated as Mass Number = Protons + Neutrons). For instance, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 6 neutrons will have a mass number of 12AMU. However, a Carbon atom with 6 protons and 8 Neutrons will have a mass number of 14AMU. They are both Carbon atoms, however they each have a different mass number. Atoms of the same element that have different numbers of neutrons, and therefore, different mass numbers, are called isotopes. Isotopic symbols are used to indicate isotopes of the same elements. In the following isotopic symbols the lower number is the atomic number…it is the number of protons. The upper number is the mass number, it represents to sum of the protons and neutrons in the atoms nucleus.
As it was explained in the Introductory Article on the Electromagnetic Spectrum, electromagnetic radiation can be described as a stream of photons, each traveling in a wave-like pattern, carrying energy and moving at the speed of light. In that section, it was pointed out that the only difference between radio waves, visible light and gamma rays is the energy of the photons. Radio waves have photons with the lowest energies. Microwaves have a little more energy than radio waves. Infrared has still more, followed by visible, ultraviolet, X-rays and gamma rays.
That should be able to help answer your question :)
Answer:
a) 17.49 seconds
b) 13.12 seconds
c) 2.99 m/s²
Explanation:
a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²
Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = 
Initial velocity = u = 0
Equation of motion
Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.
b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²
Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s
Final velocity = v = 0
Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds
c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s
Time taken = t = 7.9 s
Final velocity = v = 0
Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)
Answer:
V (initial vertical velocity) = 45.4 sin 31.2 = 23.52 m/s
1/2 m V^2 = m g h conservation of energy
h = V^2 / (2 g) = 23.52^2 / 19.6 = 28.2 m max height
Check:
t = 28.2 / 9.8 = 2.88 sec time to reach max height
h = 23.52 * 2.88 - 1/2 g 2.88^2 = 27.1 m
