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

Why is it that an object can accelerate while
posledela

For the same reason that you can skate around a curve at constant speed but not with constant velocity.

The DIRECTION you're going is part of your velocity, but it's not part of your speed.

If the DIRECTION changes, that's a change of velocity.

The object doesn't have to change speed to have a different velocity. A change of direction is enough to do it.

And any change of velocity is called acceleration.

Which term describes the number of crests that pass a point in a given amount of time
joja [24]
The term is frequency.

The frequency is the number of vibrations per unit of time or the number of waves that passes a point per unit of time.

Every crest (and every trough) represents a pass of the wave so you can count the number of crests in an intervavl of time to find the frequency as the number of crests divided by the time elapsed.

Ramas weight is 40 kg. She is carrying a load of 20 kg up to a height of 20 m. What work does she do? What work does she do?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The work done by Ramas is 3920 N.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the load lifted by Ramas, m = 20 kg

height through which the load is lifted, h = 20 m

The work done by Ramas is equal to gravitational potential due to the height in which the load is lifted.

W = PE = mgh

where;

g is acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

W = 20 x 9.8 x 20

W = 3920 N.

Therefore, the work done by Ramas is 3920 N.
