Answer:

The acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is closest to 0.16 m/s²    

Option c) 0.16 m/s² is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

since the train starts from rest,

Initial velocity; u = 0 m/s

final velocity; v = 42 m/s

distance covered S = 5.6 km = ( 5.6 × 1000 )m = 5600 m

acceleration a = ?

From the third equation of motion;

v² = u² + 2as

we substitute in our values

( 42 )² = ( 0 )² + [ 2 × a × 5600 ]

1764 = 0 + [ 11200 × a ]

1764 = 11200 × a

a = 1764 / 11200

a = 0.1575 ≈ 0.16 m/s²          { two decimal place }

Therefore, The acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is closest to 0.16 m/s²    

Option c) 0.16 m/s² is the correct answer.

A pair of oppositely charged parallel plates is separated by 5.38 mm. A potential difference of 623 V exists between the plates.
Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:

115799.256V/m

Explanation:

Given V = 623v, d = 5.38mm = 0.00538m

Strength of electric field E = V/d

E = 623/0.00538

= 115799.256V/m

In a collision between two unequal masses, which mass receives a greater magnitude impulse?
Contact [7]
<span>The answer to this question depends upon Newton's third law of motion. For every action, there's an equal and opposite reaction. Because of this law, during the collision between two unequal masses, the impulse that each mass receives will be of equal magnitude and and opposite sign.</span>

Dominic Roth is in a roller coaster car, which rapidly picks up speed as it rolls down a slope.
stiv31 [10]

Answer: 6m/s²

Explanation:

Acceleration = change in velocity / time

Initial velocity = 4m/s

Final velocity = 22m/s

Time = 3s

Acceleration = (22 - 4) / 3

a = 18 / 3 = 6m/s²
