The 500 series bullet train travels between Tokyo and Hakata, Japan. If it is heading north with a momentum of 13,194,098.64 kg

• m/s and at a velocity of 261.8 km/h, what is its mass?

Answer:

The mass of the 500 series bullet train is 181.4 tonnes.

Explanation:

The momentum is given by:

$p = mv$

Where:

m: is the mass =?

v: is the velocity = 261.8 km/h

p: is the momentum = 13194098.64 kg*m/s

By solving the above equation for "m" we have:

$m = \frac{p}{v} = \frac{13,194,098.64 kg*m/s}{261.8 km/h*\frac{1000 m}{1 km}*\frac{1 h}{3600 s}} = 181.4 tonnes$

Therefore, the mass of the 500 series bullet train is 181.4 tonnes.

I hope it helps you!

When the current in a toroidal solenoid is changing at a rate of 0.0240 A/s , the magnitude of the induced emf is 12.4 mV . When

Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The number of turns in the solenoid is 230.

Explanation:

Given that,

Rate of change of current, $\dfrac{dI}{dt}=0.0240\ A/s$

Induced emf, $\epsilon=12.4\ mV=12.4\times 10^{-3}\ V$

Current, I = 1.5 A

Magnetic flux, $\phi=0.00338\ Wb$

The induced emf through the solenoid is given by :

$\epsilon=L\dfrac{dI}{dt}$

or

$L=\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}$ ........(1)

The self inductance of the solenoid is given by :

$L=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$ .........(2)

From equation (1) and (2) we get :

$\dfrac{\epsilon}{(di/dt)}=\dfrac{N\phi}{I}$

N is the number of turns in the solenoid

$N=\dfrac{\epsilon I}{\phi (dI/dt)}$

$N=\dfrac{12.4\times 10^{-3}\times 1.5}{0.00338 \times 0.024}$

N = 229.28 turns

or

N = 230 turns

So, the number of turns in the solenoid is 230. Hence, this is the required solution.

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change for which characteristic?

Alenkasestr [34]

1) C. velocity

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity per unit time. In formulas:

$a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}$

where

$\Delta v$ is the change in velocity

$\Delta t$ is the time interval

Therefore, the correct answer is C. velocity.

2) A. 9.8m/s/s

Earth's gravity is a force, so it produces an acceleration on every object with mass located on the Earth's surface. This acceleration can be calculated, as it is given by the formula

$g=\frac{GM}{r^2}$

where

$G=6.67\cdot 10^{-11} m^3 kg^{-1} s^{-2}$ is the gravitational constant

$M=5.98\cdot 10^{24} kg$ is the Earth's mass

$r=6.37\cdot 10^6 m$ is the Earth's radius

By substituting these numbers into the formula, one can find that the acceleration due to Earth's gravity is $g=9.81 m/s^2$ .

Suppose that you and three classmates are discussing the design of a roller coaster. One says that each hill must be lower than

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

I would say that I agree with the one that said that each hill must be lower than the previous one and use the principle of conservation of energy to explain.

Explanation:

Roller coaster are usually designed such that its total energy remains conserved at any point on the track. Now, the law of conservation of energy states that the total energy of an isolated system remains constant; it is said to be conserved over time. At certain height on the track, the total energy of the roller coaster is in form of potential energy, which gets converted to kinetic energy as soon as it starts sliding down the hill till get to the hill's endpoint where it has maximum kinetic energy. The cycle of sliding from a high point on the track to a low point on the track means there is potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and kinetic energy then converts back to potential energy and the cycle continues.

However, due to the effect of gravity and frictional force between the track and the coaster, the energy of the coaster is gradually reduces, so it becomes a bit difficult for the coaster to move to the next hill of the same height. It is for this reason that each hill must be lower than the previous one, so that the coaster can overcome the next hill's height with its reduced energy until it loses all its energy and comes to a stop.

A spring with a spring constant of 120 J/m2 is fixed to a wall, free to oscillate. On the other end, a ball with a mass of 1500

Neporo4naja [7]

Answer:

A. 4.47 m/s

Explanation:

As the ball oscillates, it mechanical energy, aka the total kinetic and elastics energy stays the same. For the ball to be at maximum speed, its elastic energy i 0 and vice versa. When the ball is at rest, its kinetic energy is 0 and its elastic energy is at maximum at 50 cm, or 0.5 m

1500 g = 1.5 kg

$E_e = E_k$

$kx^2/2 = mv^2/2$

$120*0.5^2/2 = 1.5*v^2/2$

$15 = 0.75v^2$

$v^2 = 15 / 0.75 = 20$

$v = \sqrt{20} = 4.47 m/s$
