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.

Brums [2.3K]

f = ma

Rearranging it, we get;

a =  \frac{f}{m}
Where a is the acceleration, f is the force, and m is the mass

a =  \frac{325}{250}
a = 1.3 \frac{m}{ {s}^{2} }

Is the earth's gravitational force on the sun larger than, smaller than, or equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth?
Leona [35]

Answer:

The earth's gravitational force on the sun is equal to the sun's gravitational force on the earth

Explanation:

Newton's third law (law of action-reaction) states that:

"When an object A exerts a force (called action) on an object B, then object B exerts an equal and opposite force (called reaction) on object A"

In other words, when two objects exert a force on each other, then the magnitude of the two forces is the same (while the directions are opposite).

In this problem, we can call the Sun as "object A" and the Earth as "object B". According to Newton's third law, therefore, we can say that the gravitational force that the Earth exerts on the Sun is equal (in magnitude, and opposite in direction) to the gravitational force that the Sun exerts on the Earth.

What are disadvantages of using fossil fuels to generate electricity? Check all that apply.
laila [671]
Fossil fuels are non-renewable resources and create greenhouse gases.  While cheaper now to  burn fossil fuels, within fifty years we will run out and have to turn to other sources of energy.  Hope this helps!!!
