When two trains, going in opposite directions, are passing on tracks that are laid out close together, the train cars can often

be seen to be leaning in toward one another where they are in proximity. How might the air passing through the narrow gap separating the two trains contribute to the observed attraction between their cars?

<h3>Answer:</h3>

"<u>Therefore, the speed of the air decreases, the pressure acting on the two trains increases (by Bernoulli's principle), and the two trains lean in toward one another</u>."

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 6100 n
Hoochie [10]

Force on electron due to electric field is given by

F = eE

F = 1.6 * 10^{-19}* 6100

F = 9.76 * 10^{-16} N

now the acceleration is given by

a = \frac{F}{m}

a = \frac{9.76 * 10^{-16}}{9.1 * 10^{-31}}

a = 1.07 * 10^{15} m/s^2

so above is the magnitude of acceleration and its direction is opposite to field as electron is negatively charged so direction is towards SOUTH

On your first day at work as an electrical technician, you are asked to determine the resistance per meter of a long piece of wi
Lostsunrise [7]

Answer:

0.06\Omega/m

Explanation:

Firstly, when you measure the voltage across the battery, you get the emf,

E = 13.0 V

In order to proceed we have to assume that the voltmeter offers no loading effect, which is a valid assumption since it has a very high resistance.

Secondly, the wires must be uniform. So the resistance per unit length is constant (say z). Now, even though the ammeter has very little resistance it cannot be ignored as it must be of comparable value/magnitude when compared to the wires. This is can seen in the two cases when currents were measured. Following Ohm's law and the resistance of a length of wire being proportional to it's length, we should have gotten half the current when measuring with the 40 m wire with respect to the 20 m wire (I=\frac{V}{R}). But this is not the case.

Let the resistance of the ammeter be r

Hence, using Ohm's law we get the following 2 equations:

\frac{13}{20z+r} =7.6   .......(1)

\frac{13}{40z+r} =4.5     ......(2)

Substituting the value of r from (2) in (1), we have,

13=152z+7.6\times\frac{13-180z}{4.5}

which simplifying gives us, z=0.0589\Omega/m\approx0.06\Omega/m (which is our required solution)

putting the value of z in either (1) or (2) gives us, r = 0.5325 \Omega

A rock is dropped from the edge of a cliff into a pool of water. Assume free-fall acceleration is 10 m/s per second, and air res
il63 [147K]

Answer:

20 m

Explanation:

From the equation of motion,

S = ut+1/2gt²................................. Equation 1

Where S = Height, u = initial velocity, t = time, g = acceleration due to gravity.

Note: Because the rocked is being dropped from a height, acceleration due to gravity is positive (g), and initial velocity (u) is negative

Given: t = 2.0 s, g = 10 m/s², u = 0 m/s (dropped from height)

Substituting into equation 1

S = 0(2) + 1/2(10)(2)²

S = 5(4)

S = 20 m

Hence the height of the the cliff above the pool is 20 m

a car headed north at 15 m/s accelerates for 4.25 s to reach a velocity of 28.3 m/s. What is the acceleration of the car?
Liono4ka [1.6K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The acceleration of the car is 3.13 m/s^2

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the question it is given that car initially heads north with a velocity 15 m/s. It then accelerates for 4.25 s and in the end its velocity is 28.3 m/s.

initial velocity u = 15 m/s

time t=4.25 s

final velocity v=28.3 m/s

The equation of acceleration is

a= \frac{(v-u)}{t}

= \frac{(28.3-15)}{4.25} =  \frac {13.3}{4.25} =3.13m/s^2

The value of acceleration is positive, here since the car is speeding up. If it was slowing down the value of acceleration would be negative.
