Answer:

M_Train>> m_car    a_train <a_car

Explanation:

To start the movement of the train or the car, the motorcycle applies a force on the wheels, which starts the acceleration in the case of the train, it has a much greater mass than that of the car, for which to obtain the same acceleration necessary a much greater force

         a = F / m

as the mass of the train is greater than that of the car.

         a_train <a_car

Something similar happens when the vehicles stop, the engine stops applying force forward and the brakes apply a force backward that creates a negative acceleration that slows down, again as the mass of the train is much greater than the of the car its negative acceleration is much less.

   

It is good to clarify that to compensate for this the trains have a braking system on all wheels

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

\dot n = 6.042\,rpm

Explanation:

The final angle speed of the merry-go-round is determined with the help of the Principle of Angular Momentum Conservation:

(270\,kg\cdot m^{2})\cdot \left(8\,rpm\right) = [270\,kg\cdot m^{2}+(27\,kg)\cdot (1.80\,m)^{2}]\cdot \dot n

\dot n = 6.042\,rpm

Explain newton 2nd law ???<br><br>​
shusha [124]

Explanation:

Newton's second law simply says that the net force on an object is equal to the object's mass times its acceleration.

∑F = ma

For example, think of a game of tug-of-war, in which two teams pull on a rope in opposite directions.

If the forces are equal (balanced), then the net force is 0 N, so Newton's second law tells us that the rope's acceleration is 0 m/s².

If the forces are not equal (unbalanced), then the net force is not 0 N, and the rope will accelerate in the direction of the net force.
