Physics

PSYCHO15rus [73]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

The northern lights come from the interaction of electrically charged particles given off by the Sun surface during solar storms and the Earth's magnetic field which is pointed in the northern to southern poles of the Earth. Therefore, the charged particles that travel through millions of miles from the Sun to the Earth accelerate towards the magnetic poles and appear as the northern (and southern) lights

Boreal is an adjective word for the north or northern regions. In the southern latitudes, in the southern hemisphere, the phenomenon is called aurora australis (australis is the adjective for 'of the south')

A light-rail train going from one station to the next on a straight section of track accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s.
SSSSS [86.1K]

Answer:

A.) 1430 metres

B.) 80 seconds

Explanation:

Given that the train accelerates from rest at 1.1m/s^2 for 20s. The initial velocity U will be:

U = acceleration × time

U = 1.1 × 20 = 22 m/s

It then proceeds at constant speed for 1100 m

Then, time t will be

Time = distance/ velocity

Time = 1100/22

Time = 50 s

before slowing down at 2.2m/s^2 until it stops at the station.

Deceleration = velocity/time

2.2 = 22/t

t = 22/2.2

t = 10s

Using area under the graph, the distance between the two stations will be :

(1/2 × 22 × 20) + 1100 + (1/2 × 22 × 10)

220 + 1100 + 110

1430 m

The time taken between the two stations will be

20 + 50 + 10 = 80 seconds
