Answer:
(i) 12 seconds
(ii) 216 meters from the initial position
(iii) 132 meters from the initial position
(iv) No
Explanation:
Speed of express train =36 m/s
Speed of local train =11 m/s
The initial distance between the local train and passenger train =100 m.
Due to the application of breaks, the express train slows at the rare of
So, the acceleration of the express train, .
(i) Let t be the time the express train takes to stop.
From the equation of motion,
v=u+at
where, v: final velocity, u: initial velocity, a: constant acceleration, t: time taken to change the speed from u to v.
In this case, v=0, u=36 m/s,
So, 0=36+(-3)t
seconds.
(ii) To compute the distance traveled, s, till the express train stops, using
meters.
(iii) The local train is moving at a speed of 11 m/s
So, in 12 seconds, the distance, d, traveled by the local train
d= 11x12=132 meters [as distance= speed x time]
(iv) Let 0 be the reference position which is the initial position of the express train.
So, at the initial time, the position of the local train is at 100m.
After 12 seconds:
The position of the express train is at 216 m [using part (ii)]
and the position of the local train is at 100+132=232m [using part (iii)].
So, the local train is still ahead of the express train, hence the trains didn't collide.
Answer:
A. The upward pressure gradient force is balanced by gravity.
Explanation:
A. is correct because the pressure difference is actually generated by gravity. As in the following formula for the pressure at different points:
where are the pressure at 2 points, ρ is the density of the fluid, g is the gravitational constant, and h is the height difference.
B is incorrect because friction in air is too small to make an effect.
C is incorrect because the Coriolis force is horizontal, not vertical.
D is incorrect because a difference of 500 hPa = 50000 Pa, this is half of the atmospheric pressure.
E is incorrect because temperature cannot generate force.
