A 2:2 kg toy train is con ned to roll along a straight, frictionless track parallel to the x-axis. The train starts at the origi

n moving at a speed of 1:6m=s in the +x direction, and continues until it reaches a position 7:5m down the track from where it started. During its journey, it experiences a force pointing in the same direction as the vector 0:6 +0:8 , with magnitude initially 2:8N and decreasing linearly with its x-position to 0N when the train has finished its journey.
Required:
a. Calculate the work done by this force over the entire journey of the train.
b. Find the speed of the train at the end of its journey.

Answer:

a) 10.51 J

b) 3.48 m/s

Explanation:

Given data :

mass of train ( M ) = 2.2 kg

Given initial velocity ( u ) = 1.6 m/s

<u>a) calculating work done by the force over the journey of the train</u>

F = mx + b  ------ ( 1 )

m = slope  = ( Δ f / Δ x ) = 2.8 / -7.5 = - 0.373 N/m

x = distance travelled on the x axis by the train = 7.5 m

F = force experienced by the train = 2.8 N

x = 0

∴ b = 2.8

hence equation 1 can be written as

F = ( -0.373) x + 2.8   ----- ( 2 )

hence to determine the work done by the force

W   = \int\limits^7_0 { ( -0.373) x + 2.8  )} \, dx     Note:  the limits are actually 7.5 and 0

∴ W ( work done ) = -10.49 + 21 = 10.51 J

<u>b) calculate the speed of the train at the end of its journey</u>

we will apply the work energy theorem

W = 1/2 m*v^2  -  1/2 m*u^2

∴ V^2 = 2 / M ( W + 1/2 M*u^2 )  ( input values into equation )

 V^2 = 12.11

hence V = 3.48 m/s

To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 23.2 for continuous charge distribution problems. A straight wire of length L has a positiv
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

             E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

Explanation:

As the charge distribution is continuous we must use integrals to solve the problem, using the equation of the elective field

       E = k ∫ dq/ r² r^

"k" is the Coulomb constant 8.9875 10 9 N / m2 C2, "r" is the distance from the load to the calculation point, "dq" is the charge element  and "r^" is a unit ventor from the load element to the point.

Suppose the rod is along the x-axis, let's look for the charge density per unit length, which is constant

         λ = Q / L

If we derive from the length we have

        λ = dq/dx       ⇒    dq = L dx

We have the variation of the cgarge per unit length, now let's calculate the magnitude of the electric field produced by this small segment of charge

        dE = k dq / x²2

        dE = k λ dx / x²

Let us write the integral limits, the lower is the distance from the point to the nearest end of the rod "d" and the upper is this value plus the length of the rod "del" since with these limits we have all the chosen charge consider

        E = k \int\limits^{d+L}_d {\lambda/x^{2}} \, dx

We take out the constant magnitudes and perform the integral

        E = k λ (-1/x){(-1/x)}^{d+L} _{d}

   

Evaluating

        E = k λ [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

Using   λ = Q/L

        E = k Q/L [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]

 

let's use a bit of arithmetic to simplify the expression

     [ 1/d  - 1/ (d+L)]   = L /[d(d+L)]

The final result is

     E = k Q / [d(d+L)]

I need help doing this i don’t understand what to do
Hatshy [7]

Answer:

You need to write an essay with 800 to 1,200 words. That talks about the significance of one of the seminal works (Definition- a work that strongly influenced people. Example: Martin Luther King Jr's speech "I Have A Dream") in the unit and how it connects to current issues (Example- Politics). It should be clearly stated and should be well supported by research (Example- a trustworthy article talking about its influence). You should properly cite at least 3 good sources from different perspectives. (Example- a republicans view for one source, a democratic for another, and a neutral for the third) You should also use direct quotes (Example: "Let them eat cake." - Marie Antoinette) and paraphrase- put it in your own words. (Example: Marie Antoinette said that they should eat cake.) I hope this helps, good luck! :)

The second-order decomposition of hi has a rate constant of 1.80 x 10−3 m−1 s−1. How much hi remains after 45.6 s if the initial
zlopas [31]

Answer:

2.9 M

Explanation:

The concentration-time equation for a second order reaction is:

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A°]

Where,

A = concentration remaining at time, t

A° = initial concentration

k = rate constant

1/[A] = (1.80 x 10^-3) * (45.6) + 1/3.81

1/[A] = 0.345

= 1/0.345

= 2.9 M.

Sandy is on a road trip. She leaves at 8:00 AM. It takes her 2 hours to drive 200 kilometers. She stops at a rest stop for half
lutik1710 [3]
The average velocity of Sandy is given by the total distance covered S divided by the total time taken t:
v= \frac{S}{t}

The total distance covered is
S=200 km+0+100 km=300 km
while the total time taken is 2 hours + half an hour (for the rest) + 1 hour and half, so
t=2h+0.5h+1.5 h=4 h
Therefore, the average velocity is 
v= \frac{S}{t}= \frac{300 km}{4 h}=75 km/h
