A supertrain with a proper length of 100 m travels at a speed of 0.950c as it passes through a tunnel having a proper length of

50.0 m. As seen by a trackside observer, is the train ever completely within the tunnel? If so, by how much do the train’s ends clear the ends of the tunnel?

Answer:

19m

Explanation:

we have proper length L = 100m

the speed of the train v = 0.95

the speed of light is given as = 3x10⁸

length of the tunnel is given as = 50 meters

we can solve for the lenght contraction as

LX√1-v²/c²

= 100 * √1-(0.95*3x10⁸)²/(3x10⁸ )

= 31.22 metres

the train would be well seen at

50 - 31.22

= 18.78

= this is approximately 19 metres

we conclude tht the trains ends clears the ends of the tunnel by 19 meters.

thank you!

If a car used 260.000 W of power to complete a race in 15 s. how much work did the car do?
marta [7]

Work done by the car is 3900 J

Explanation:

  • Power and work are related by the equation, Power = Work Done/Time
  • Power is the rate at which work is done.
  • Here, the car uses power of 260 W and time taken is 15 s.

Work Done = Power × Time

                   = 260 × 15 = 3900 J

3) A tolley of mass 4kg, moving with a velocity
Leokris [45]

Answer:

3.57 m/s

Explanation:

The sum of the 2 momentums Is equal the finale momentums. so if momentums Is q, v Is velocity and m Is Mass, q3=m1*v1+m2**v2=16+9=25 m*kg/s

q3=m3*v3

v3=q3/m3=25/(4+3)=3.57m/s

A child is sliding down a slide at the playgound. is mechanicalenergy conserved
Flauer [41]

No. Mechanical energy is not conserved.  There's quite a bit of friction on the slide.  So some of the potential energy is lost to heat on the way down, and the child arrives at the bottom with hot pants and less kinetic energy than you might expect.
