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.

Mariana [72]
According to Newton's second law, the force applied to an object is equal to the product between the mass of the object and its acceleration:
F=ma
where F is the magnitude of the force, m is the mass of the object and a its acceleration.

In this problem, the object is the insect, with mass m=1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg. The acceleration of the insect is a=1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2, therefore we can calculate the force exerted by the car on the insect:
F=ma=(1.0 \cdot 10^{-4} kg)(1.0 \cdot 10^2 m/s^2)=0.01 N

How do we find the force exerted by the insect on the car?
According to Newton's third law (known as action-reaction law), when an object A exerts a force on an object B, object B also exerts a force equal and opposite on object A. Therefore, the force exerted by the insect on the car is equal to the force exerted by the car on the object, so it is 0.01 N.
