Answer:

the power (outside) of the train must be increased for the increase in resistance by the weight component.

Explanation:

We analyze the movement of the train at constant speed, on flat ground the force of the motor must counteract the friction force that opposes the movement, therefore to maintain the constant speed the two forces must be of the same magnitude.

When the train goes up a slope, it is subjected to two forces: the friction force that opposes the movement and a component of the weight in the opposite direction to the movement, therefore the power (outside) of the train must be increased for the increase in resistance by the weight component.

2. Two projectiles thrown from the same point at angles 0,=60° and 02=30° with the horizontal,

Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

The answer is below

Explanation:

The maximum height (h) of a projectile with an initial velocity of u, acceleration due to gravity g and at an angle θ with the horizontal is given as:

$h=\frac{u^2sin^2\theta}{2g}$

Given that the two projectile has the same height.

$For\ the\ first\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \60^0 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_1:\\\\h=\frac{u_1^2sin^260}{2g} =\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g} \\\\For\ the\ second\ projectile\ with\ an\ angle\ \30 \ with\ the\ horizontal\ and initial\ velocity\ u_2:\\\\h=\frac{u_2^2sin^230}{2g} =\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}\\\\\frac{0.25u_2^2}{2g}=\frac{0.75u_1^2}{2g}\\\\0.25u_2^2=0.75u_1^2\\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2} =\frac{0.25}{0.75} \\\\\frac{u_1^2}{u_2^2}=\frac{1}{3} \\$ $\\\frac{u_1}{u_2}=\sqrt\frac{1}{3}$

These four surfaces are opaque; that is they reflect or absorb certain rays of light determine the color

masya89 [10]

In the first figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for green light, which is reflected: so, the surface will appear as green to our eyes, because green is the only color which is reflected by that surface.

Similarly, in the second figure, the surface absorbs all colors except for blue, and so the surface will appear blue to our eyes.

In the third figure, the surface absorbs all colors, so it will appear black to our eyes (because no colors are reflected, and black=absence of colors).

In the fourth figure, all colors are reflected: this means the surface will appear white to our eyes (white= sum of all colors).
