An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train . When the engineer first

sees the car, the locomotive is 110 m from the crossing and its speed is 21 m/s . If the engineer's reaction time is 0.6 s, what should be the magnitude of the minimum de celeration to avoid an accident ? Answer in units of m/s^ 2

Answer:

Explanation:

distance traveled during reaction time

d = vt = 21(0.6) = 12.6 m

distance remaining 110 - 12.6 = 97.4 m

Assuming we want zero speed in 97.4 m using constant acceleration.

a = (0² - 21²) / 2(97.4) = - 2.2638603...

the negative value indicates acceleration opposes initial velocity.

magnitude is

a = 2.3 m/s²

seropon [69]

Answer:

1.28 s

Explanation:

Given:

Δy = 8 m

v₀ = 0 m/s

a = 9.8 m/s²

Find: t

Δy = v₀ t + ½ at²

(8 m) = (0 m/s) t + ½ (9.8 m/s²) t²

t = 1.28 s

Suppose you are spinning a child around in a circle by her
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

25 N

Explanation:

Sum of the forces on the child in the radial direction:

∑F = ma

T = m v² / r

T = (25 kg) (1 m/s)² / (1 m)

T = 25 N

How are characteristic properties of a given substance different from its other properties and chemical properties
serg [7]
Characteristic properties of a given substance is different from its other properties is that there is no change as to what it is no matter how big or how small the sample of the given substance is. Another thing is that it doesn't affect the chemical nature of the matter. The characteristic properties of a given substance can either be a physical property of the substance or a chemical property of the substance. Either way, there is no change to it even if the size of the substance changes.

An unfortunate astronaut loses his grip during a spacewalk and finds himself floating away from the space station, carrying only
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

The velocity of the bag will be 16.08 m/s

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of the astronaut, M = 124 kg

Mass of the bag, m = 10 lg

Initial speed of the astronaut with bag, v_i = 1.20 m/s

Applying the concept of conservation of momentum

we have

(M + m)v_i = Mv₁ + mv₂

here,

v₁ is the final velocity of the astronaut = 0

v₂ is final velocity of the bag

thus, on substituting the values, we have

(124 + 10)1.20 = 124 × 0 + 10v₂

or

v₂ = 16.08 m/s

Hence, <u>the velocity of the bag will be 16.08 m/s</u>
