A train started from rest and moved with constant acceleration. At one time it was traveling 27 m/s, and 150 m farther on it was

traveling 54 m/s. Calculate (a) the acceleration, (b) the time required to travel the 150 m mentioned, (c) the time required to attain the speed of 27 m/s, and (d) the distance moved from rest to the time the train had a speed of 27 m/s.

Explanation:

(a) Given:

Δx = 150 m

v₀ = 27 m/s

v = 54 m/s

Find: a

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(54 m/s)² = (27 m/s)² + 2a (150 m)

a = 7.29 m/s²

(b) Given:

Δx = 150 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: t

Δx = v₀ t + ½ at²

150 m = (0 m/s) t + ½ (7.29 m/s²) t²

t = 6.42 s

(c) Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 27 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: t

v = at + v₀

27 m/s = (7.29 m/s²) t + 0 m/s

t = 3.70 s

(d) Given:

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 27 m/s

a = 7.29 m/s²

Find: Δx

v² = v₀² + 2aΔx

(27 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (7.29 m/s²) Δx

Δx = 50 m

What do a prism, a magnifying glass, a microscope, and eyeglasses ALL have in common? A) They are opaque. B) They refract light.
Elena L [17]
By definition, when the speed of the light changes when it passes from a material to another, this is called "Refraction of light". This happens when there is a difference in the index of refraction between both mediums o materials. Therefore, that speed depends of <span>the medium through  it passes. 
</span> 
 T<span>he index of refraction</span> is expressed as below: 
 n=c/v
 
 "n"  is <span>the index of refraction.
</span> "c" is <span>is the speed of light.
</span> "<span>v" is the phase velocity of light in the medium.
</span> 
 A prism, a magnifying glass, a microscope, and eyeglasses refract light. Therefore, the correct option is: B) They refract light.

Difference between sold and liquid​
Tcecarenko [31]

Explanation:

Solids have closely packed particles and vibrate about a fixed position, they also have a fixed volume.

liquid have close particles but which are able to move with a bit of kinetic energy, for this reason they have no fixed volume but take the volume of the container or vessel

A grocery cart with a mass of 15 kg is pushed at constant speed along an aisle by a force fp = 12 n which acts at an angle of 17
Korolek [52]

<span>Given:

Mass of cart: 15kg</span>

Aisle length = 14m

Angle = 17° below the horizontal

Force fp = 12 N

 

So, the solution would be like this for this specific problem:

 

<span><span>1)    </span>W(by applied force) = F(applied) x s x cosθ <span>
=>W(a) = 12 x 14 x cos17* = 160.66 J </span></span>
<span><span>
2)    </span>By F(net) = F(applied) - F(friction) <span>
=>As v = constant => a = 0 => F(net) = 0 
=>F(applied) = F(friction) 
<span>=>W(friction) = -F(friction) x s
=>W(friction) = -F(applied) x s 
=>W(f) = -12 x 14 x cos17* = -160.56 J </span></span></span>
<span><span>
3)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force </span>
<span><span>
4)    </span>0, as the displacement is perpendicular to Force</span>  
<span>
To add, the force that is applied<span> to an object by a person or another object is called the applied force.</span></span>
