A train traveling at 48 m/s begins to slow down as it approaches a bend in the tracks. If it travels around the bend at a speed

of 14 m/s, and it takes 40 seconds to properly slow down, what is the acceleration acting on the train during this time?
Please help 5 minutes left please!,

A motorist drives north for 35.0 minutes at 85.0 kph. He then stops for 15.0 minutes. The motorist then drives 130.0 km in 2.0 h
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. 216.36 \frac{km}{h}

B. 96.56 \frac{km}{h}

Explanation:

Let s_{1} be the distance in first part.

s_{1} = velocity × time

s_{1} = 85 × \frac{35}{60}

s_{1} = 49.58 km

Let s_{2} be the distance in first part.

s_{2} = 130 km

Average velocity = \frac{Total displacement}{Total time}

When second leg of the trip is

A. Toward north

Average velocity = \frac{[tex] s_{1} + s_{2}}{Total time}  [/tex]

Average velocity = \frac{130+49.58}{0.25+0.58}

Average velocity =216.36 \frac{km}{h}

B. Toward south

Average velocity = \frac{[tex] s_{1} - s_{2}}{Total time}  [/tex]

Average velocity = \frac{130-49.58}{0.25+0.58}

Average velocity =96.56 \frac{km}{h}

We are given the description of an enclosure that has fencing on 3 sides and can use 3,056 yards of fencing. We are to find the
shusha [124]

Answer:

The sum of the lengths of the sides is 2292 yards and the sum of the lengths of the triangle is 3056 yards

Explanation:

Since y represents the length of fence that is opposite (parallel) to the river and x represent the length of fence perpendicular to the river.

Therefore since we can use 3,056 yards of fencing

Side perpendicular to the river = x and,

Side opposite to the river = y = 3056 - 2x

The area of the rectangle formed (A) = Perpendicular side × Parallel side

∴ A = x(3056 - 2x) = 3056x - 2x²

A = 3056x - 2x²

To maximize the area, A' (dA/dx) = 0

∴ A' = 3056 - 4x = 0

3056 - 4x = 0

4x = 3056

x = 764 yards

y =  3056 - 2x = 3056 - 2(764) = 1528 yards.

Side perpendicular to the river = 764 yards and,

Side opposite to the river = 1528 yards

The sum of the lengths of the sides = 764 + 1528 = 2292 yard and the sum of the lengths of the triangle = 764 + 764 + 1528 = 3056 yards

A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
Flura [38]

Answer:

Total momentum = 50kgm/s

Explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Mass, M1 = 5kg

Mass, M2 = 7kg

Velocity, V1 = 10m/s

Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).

To find the total momentum;

Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;

Momentum = Mass * Velocity

The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.

Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0

Total momentum = 50 + 0

<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>

<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

A soldier fires a gun and another boy at a distance of 1020 m hears the sound of firing the gun 33 seconds after seeing its smok
Komok [63]

Answer:

Speed of sound is 30.91m/s

Explanation:

Speed is given by:

Speed = distance travelled / time taken

Given:

Distance travelled = 1020m

Time taken = 33seconds

Speed = 1020m/33s

Speed = 30.91m/s
