Light-rail passenger trains that provide transportation within and between cities speed up and slow down with a nearly constant

(and quite modest) acceleration. A train travels through a congested part of town at 4.0 m/s . Once free of this area, it speeds up to 11 m/s in 8.0 s. At the edge of town, the driver again accelerates, with the same acceleration, for another 16 s to reach a higher cruising speed. Part A What is the final speed

Answer:

25 m/s

Explanation:

Given that:

Initial speed, u = 4 m/s

Final velocity, V = 11 m/s

Time, t = 8 seconds

t2, = 16 seconds

Acceleration, a= (change in velocity) / time interval

a = (11 - 4) / 8

a = 7 / 8 = 0.875m/s²

Final velocity, v2 ;

Acceleration * t2

0.875 * 16 = 14

V2 = 14 m/s

Final speed : v + v2 = (11 + 14)m/s = 25m/s

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave. What is the smallest separation distance b
AveGali [126]

Answer:

The smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Two speakers, one directly behind the other, are each generating a 240-Hz sound wave, f = 240 Hz

Let the speed of sound is 343 m/s in air. The speed of sound is given by the formula as :

v=f\lambda\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{v}{f}\\\\\lambda=\dfrac{343\ m/s}{240\ Hz}\\\\\lambda=1.42\ m

To produce destructive interference at a listener standing in front of them,

d=\dfrac{\lambda}{2}\\\\d=\dfrac{1.42}{2}\\\\d=0.71\ m

So, the smallest separation distance between the speakers is 0.71 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

A 0.02kg dart is loaded into a toy spring gun by compressing the spring 6cm. If the spring has a constant of 20 N/m, find… a. Th
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

a) 0.036 J b) 0.036J c) 0.036 d) 1.9m/s e) 0.18 m

Explanation:

Mass of the dart = 0.02kg, the spring was compressed to 6cm

Work needed to compress the spring = 1/2*k*x ^2 where k is the force constant of the spring in N/m, x is the distance it was compressed in m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.5 * 20* 0.06^2 since 6cm = 6 / 100 = 0.06 m

Work needed to compress the spring = 0.036J

b) the total energy stored in the spring = the work done to compress the spring = 0.036J

c) kinetic energy of the dart as it leaves the the spring = elastic potential energy stored in the spring = the work done in compressing the = 0.036J using the law of conservation of energy; energy is neither created nor destroyed but transformed from one form to another.

d) 1/2mv^2 = 0.036

mv^2 = 0.036*2

v^2 = 0.036*2 / 0.02 = 3.6

v = √3.6 = 1.897 approx 1.9m/s

e) kinetic energy of the dart = work done against gravity to get the body to height h

Work done against gravity = potential energy conserved at height = -mgh g is negative because the motion is upward while gravity acts downward

0.036 = 0.02 * 9.81 * h

0.036 / ( 0.02*9.81) = h

h = 0.18 m

A plane flying at 70.0 m/s suddenly stalls. If the acceleration during the stall is 9.8 m/s2 directly downward, the stall lasts
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

v = 66.4 m/s

Explanation:

As we know that plane is moving initially at speed of

v = 70 m/s

now we have

v_x = 70 cos25

v_x = 63.44 m/s

v_y = 70 sin25

v_y = 29.6 m/s

now in Y direction we can use kinematics

v_y = v_i + at

v_y = 29.6 - (9.81 \times 5)

v_y = -19.5 m/s

since there is no acceleration in x direction so here in x direction velocity remains the same

so we will have

v = \sqrt{v_x^2 + v_y^2}

v = \sqrt{63.44^2 + 19.5^2}

v = 66.4 m/s

The gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N

<h3>What is gravitational attraction?</h3>

When two objects with masses are placed at a distance, there will an attractive force acting between them.

According to the Newton's law of gravitation, gravitational force is

F = Gm₁m₂ /r²

where r is the distance between the masses m₁ and m₂ and  G is the gravitational constant G = 6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ N-m²/kg²

Substitute the values into the expression, we get

F =  6.67 x 10⁻¹¹ x  2.25 x 10²⁰ x 6.20 x 10¹⁸ / (435,500 x 1000)²

F= 4905.95 N

Thus, the gravitational attraction between two planets is  4905.95 N.
