A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f

orce f = 250v where the speed v is in meters per second and the force f is in newtons. At the instant when the speed of the train is 29 km/h, the magnitude of the acceleration is 0.20 m/s2.?

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.

In this way,

The total mass of the cars would be,

m_T = 25(7.7*10^4)Kg

m_T = 1.925*10^6Kg

Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,

f=250v

f= 250*29Km/h

f = 250*29*(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

f = 2013.889N

In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,

T=m_Ta+f

T=(1.925*10^6)(0.2)+2013.889

T= 3.8701*10^5N

Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is 3.87*10^5N

When a voltage difference is applied to a piece of metal wire, a 5.0 mA current flows through it. If this metal wire is now repl
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

I = 21.13 mA ≈ 21 mA

Explanation:

If

I₁ = 5 mA

L₁ = L₂ = L

V₁ = V₂ = V

ρ₁ = 1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

ρ₂ = 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

D₁ = D

D₂ = 2D

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

If we apply the equation

R = ρ*L / S

where (using Ohm's Law):

R = V / I

we have

V / I = ρ*L / S

If V and L are the same

V / L =  ρ*I / S

then

(V / L)₁ = (V / L)₂  ⇒     ρ₁*I₁ / S₁ = ρ₂*I₂ / S₂

If

S₁ = 0.25*π*D²   and

S₂ = 0.25*π*(2*D)² = π*D²

we have

ρ₁*I₁ / (0.25*π*D²) = ρ₂*I₂ / (π*D²)

⇒    I₂ = 4*ρ₁*I₁ / ρ₂

⇒     I₂ = 4*1.68*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m*5 mA / 1.59*10⁻⁸ Ohm-m

⇒     I₂ = 21.13 mA

An elevator manufacturing company is stress-testing a new elevator in an airless test shaft. The elevator is traveling at an unk
devlian [24]

Answer:

3.192 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken = 0.900 seconds

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity

s = Displacement = 1.1 meters

a = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{s-\frac{1}{2}at^2}{t}\\\Rightarrow u=\frac{1.1-\frac{1}{2}\times 9.81\times 0.9^2}{0.9}\\\Rightarrow u=-3.192\ m/s

Velocity of the elevator when it snapped is 3.192 m/s

A baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s. How high does it go?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

If a baseball is hit into the air with a velocity of 27 m/s, we want to determine the maximum height of the ball. Using the projecile formula;

Max height H = u²/2g

u is the initial velocity of the body = 27m/s

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

H = 27²/2(9.81)

H = 729/19.62

H = 37.16m

Hence the ball went 37.16m high

What is the separation in meters between two slits for which 617 nm orange light has its first maximum at an angle of 29. 8°?
Katen [24]

The separation between the two slits, d is related to the wavelength, and angle using the formula below. Hence, the value of d is 1.22 x 10⁻⁶ m.

For ease of calculations we take 29.8° = 30°

Using the relation :

\frac{m * λ }{sin\theta}

where :

d = distance between the slits

θ = 30°

λ = wavelength of light = 617 nm = 6.17 x 10⁻⁷ m

m = 1

Substituting the values into the equation :

d = 1 x 6.17 x 10⁻⁷ / 0.5 = 0.00000122 = 1.22 x 10⁻⁶ m

Therefore, the seperation between the two slits is 1.22 x 10⁻⁶ m.

The double-slit experiment is a demonstration that light and matter can display characteristics of both classically defined waves and particles; moreover, it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena.

This type of experiment was first performed, using light, by Thomas Young in 1802, as a demonstration of the wave behavior of light. At that time it was thought that light consisted of either waves or particles.

With the beginning of modern physics, about a hundred years later, it was realized that light could in fact show behavior characteristic of both waves and particles. Young's experiment with light was part of classical physics long before the development of quantum mechanics and the concept of wave–particle duality.
