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 $3.87*10^5N$

You attach a meter stick to an oak tree, such that the top of the meter stick is 2.27 meters above the ground. later, an acorn f

Alexandra [31]

The acorn was at a height of <u>4.15 m</u> from the ground before it drops.

The acorn takes a time t to fall through a distance h₁, which is the length of the scale. When the acorn reaches the top of the scale, its velocity is u.

Calculate the speed of the acorn at the top of the scale, using the equation of motion,

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2$

Since the acorn falls freely under gravity, its acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity g.

Substitute 2.27 m for s (=h₁), 0.301 s for t and 9.8 m/s² for a (=g).

$s=ut+ \frac{1}{2} at^2\\ (2.27 m)=u(0.301s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8m/s^2)(0.301s)^2\\ u=\frac{1.8261m}{0.301s} =6.067m/s$

If the acorn starts from rest and reaches a speed of 6.067 m/s at the top of the scale, it would have fallen a distance h₂ to achieve this speed.

Use the equation of motion,

$v^2=u^2+2as$

Substitute 6.067 m/s for v, 0 m/s for u, 9.8 m/s² for a (=g) and h₂ for s.

$v^2=u^2+2as\\ (6.067m/s)^2=(0m/s)^2+2(9.8m/s^2)h_2\\ h_2=\frac{(6.067m/s)^2}{2(9.8m/s^2)} =1.878 m$

The height h above the ground at which the acorn was is given by,

$h=h_1+h_2=(2.27 m)+(1.878 m)=4.148 m$

The acorn was at a height <u>4.15m</u> from the ground before dropping down.

A man pushes his child in a grocery cart. The total mass of the cart and child is 30.0 kg. If the force resisting the carts moti

-BARSIC- [3]

The force applied by the man is 60 N

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by applying Newton's second law, which states that:

$\sum F = ma$ (1)

where

$\sum F$ is the net force acting on the child+cart

m is the mass of the child+cart system

a is their acceleration

In this problem, we have:

m = 30.0 kg is the mass

$a=1.50 m/s^2$

And there are two forces acting on the child+cart system:

The forward force of pushing, F
The force resisting the cart motion, R = 15.0 N

Therefore we can write the net force as

$\sum F = F -R$

where R is negative since its direction is opposite to the motion

So eq.(1) can be rewritten as

$F-R=ma$

And solving for F,

$F=ma+R=(30.0)(1.50)+15.0=60 N$
