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!

Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

he will not be drowned

Explanation:

Question says , the height of the student = 4 feet,

Depth of the pool( in feet ) be x ( say ) which is less than  4 feet,

Clearly, the depth of the pool < height of the student,

This means, if the student goes for swimming in the pool, however he does not know swimming, he will not be drowned until he is suffering from an injury or external force.

If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, how fast was it moving when the brakes were applied? (Round your answer to the nearest who
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.

Explanation:

To determine how fast the car was moving, after skidding, the formula below is used:

V = √32*fd

V is the car's speed (ft/s)

d is skid length (ft) = 66 ft

f is the coefficient of friction determined by the material the car was skidding on.

Coefficient of friction for wet concrete is 0.65

V = √32*fd

V = √32 *0.65* 66

V = 242.679 ft/s ≅ 243 ft/s (nearest whole number)

If a car skids 66 ft on wet concrete, it will move at 243 ft/s when the brake is applied.
