A shunting engine in a rail yard is working on a straight east-west section of line. First it travels west for 150 s with an ave

rage velocity of 4 m/s, to hook up to 10 empty freight cars. Then it pulls the cars east with an average velocity of 3 m/s for 200 s, to a loading area. Calculate the engine's final displacement.

Displacement-1

\\ \rm\longmapsto Velocity(Time)

\\ \rm\longmapsto 150(4)

\\ \rm\longmapsto 600m

Displcaement-2

\\ \rm\longmapsto 200(3)

\\ \rm\longmapsto 600m

Total displacement=600+600=1200m

A block of mass 10.0 kg is pulled to the right along a rough horizontal surface with a constant horizontal force of 20.0 N. The
Yakvenalex [24]

Answer:

the magnitude of acceleration will be 1.50m/s^2

Explanation:

To calculate your acceleration, you can use your formula that states that the net force on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by the acceleration of the object. Fnet=ma

if you draw out this situation and label the forces you will have your vector towards the right with a magnitude of 20.0N and then your friction vector will be pointing to the left (in other words, in the negative direction) (opposing the direction of movement) with a magnitude of 5.00N, with the 10.0 kg box in the middle.

The net force will be calculated using F1+F2=Fnet where your F1=20.0N and F2= -5.00N (since it is towards the negative direction).

you will find that Fnet=15.0N

With that, plug in the values you know to calculate the acceleration of the block:

Fnet=ma

(15.0N)=(10.0kg)a    from her you can divide both sides by 10 to isolate a:

1.50=a  (and now make sure to label the units of your answer)

a=1.50m/s^2 (which is the typical unit for acceleration)

A plane flying horizontally at 377 m/s releases a package at an altitude of 15,770 m. How long will the package take to reach th
wolverine [178]

Answer:

An object is called a horizontal projectile if it is launched from a certain height with some initial horizontal velocity only. The initial vertical velocity of such an object is zero. But as the object falls through the atmosphere the horizontal component of velocity remains constant but vertical component increases due to gravitational acceleration.

What’s the difference between the offspring of an asexual organism and a sexual organism
laiz [17]
The offspring of an asexual organism (since asexual reproduction only requires one parent) will be completely identical to the parent, like bacteria or fungi. The offspring of a sexual organism (since sexual reproduction requires two organisms) will be a combination of both parents, like animals or (some) flowers.
