Answer:
No, there won't be a collision.
Explanation:
We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,
v = u + a*t
0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t
t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)
v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s
0 = (25)^2 + 2*(-0.1)*s
s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)
If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur
Speed*time = distance
Distance = (15)*(250)
Distance = 3750 m
As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision
Answer:
Gravitational potential energy is energy an object possesses because of its position in a gravitational field. Since the force required to lift it is equal to its weight, it follows that the gravitational potential energy is equal to its weight times the height to which it is lifted.
A) Work energy relation;
Work =ΔKE ; work done = Force × distance, while, Kinetic energy = 1/2 MV²
F.s = 1/2mv²
F× 4×10^-2 = 1/2 × 5 ×10^-3 × (600)²
F = 900/0.04
= 22500 N
Therefore, force is 22500 N
b) From newton's second law of motion;
F = Ma
Thus; a = F/m
= 22500/(5×10^-3)
= 4,500,000 m/s²
But v = u-at
0 = 600- 4500,000 t
t = 1.33 × 10^-4 seconds
