If a train starts from rest and after 0.5 hours travels at a speed of 75 km/hr, what is its

Ksju [112]3 years ago

Answer:

150 km/hr²

Explanation:

The data for the motion of the train includes;

The train starts from rest, therefore, the initial velocity of the train, u = 0 km/hr

The speed of the train after 0.5 hours, v = 75 km/hr

The change in time during the motion of the train, Δt = 0.5 hours

The acceleration, 'a', is the rate of change of velocity with time;

a = \dfrac{\Delta v}{\Delta t} = \dfrac{v - u}{\Delta t}

Therefore, we have;

a = (75 km/hr - 0 km/hr)/(0.5 hr) = 150 km/hr²

a = 150 km/hr² = 150 km/hr² × 1,000 m/km × hr²/(3,600 s)² = 5/432 m/s²

The acceleration of the train, a = 150 km/hr² = 5/432 m/s².

Why does Quito, Equator has very little changes to the daylight hours<br> throughout the year?
marin [14]

Because of the position on the equator, the change in rotation of the Earth on its axis throughout the year doesn't affect it much. Unlike the poles, Quito is almost constantly in direct view of the sun. So, because of lack of change in rotation, the daylight hours are hardly varied as Quito is almost constantly in more or less the same spot in relation to the sun.

Which statements describe vectors?
laila [671]

Answer:

Vectors have a size and direction. Each of the existing vector quantity has a magnitude and a direction. Having direction along with the magnitude is the difference of a vector quantity from a scalar quantity. Vectors are indicates with arrows.

g An astronaut must journey to a distant planet, which is 189 light-years from Earth. What speed will be necessary if the astron
Butoxors [25]

Answer:

The value is v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The time taken to travel to the planet from earth is t = 189 \ light-years

    The  time to be spent on the ship is  t_{s} =  12 \  years

Generally speed can be obtained using the mathematical relation represented below

       t_s  =  2 * t *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{c^2 } }

The 2 in the equation show that the trip is a round trip i.e going and coming back

=>    12 =  2 * 189 *  \sqrt{1 -  \frac{v^2}{(3.0*10^{8})^2 } }

=>     v  =  2.999 *10^{8} \  m/s

1. The Moon's mass is 7.34 x 1022 kg, and it is 3.8 x 105 km away from Earth. Earth's
sineoko [7]

Answer:

2.03 x 10²⁴N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of moon = 7.34 x 10²²kg

Mass of the earth  = 5.97 x 10²⁴kg

Distance  = 3.8 x 10⁵km

Unknown:

Gravitational force of attraction  = ?

Solution:

To find the gravitational force of attraction between the masses, we use the expression below;

   F = \frac{Gm_{1} m_{2}  }{r^{2} }

G is the universal gravitation constant

m is the mass

1 and 2 represents moon and earth

r is  the distance

  F = \frac{6.67 x 10^{-11}  x 7.34 x 10^{22} x 5.97 x 10^{24}  }{(3.8 x 10^{5})^{2}  }

 F = \frac{2.92 x 10^{35} }{1.44 x 10^{11} }  = 2.03 x 10²⁴N
