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 rotating object starts from rest at t = 0 s and has a constant angular acceleration. At a time of t = 2.5 s the object has an
Evgesh-ka [11]

Answer:

52 rad

Explanation:

Using

Ф = ω't +1/2αt²................... Equation 1

Where Ф = angular displacement of the object, t = time, ω' = initial angular velocity, α = angular acceleration.

Since the object states from rest, ω' = 0 rad/s.

Therefore,

Ф = 1/2αt²................ Equation 2

make α the subject of the equation

α = 2Ф/t².................. Equation 3

Given: Ф = 13 rad, t = 2.5 s

Substitute into equation 3

α = 2(13)/2.5²

α = 26/2.5

α = 4.16 rad/s².

using equation 2,

Ф = 1/2αt²

Given: t = 5 s, α = 4.16 rad/s²

Substitute into equation 2

Ф = 1/2(4.16)(5²)

Ф = 52 rad.

Two point charges are separated by 10 cm, with an attractive force between them of 15 N. Find the force between them when they a
suter [353]

Answer:

(a) the force is 8.876 N

(b) the magnitude of each charge is 4.085 μC

Explanation:

Part (a)

Given;

coulomb's constant, K = 8.99 x 10⁹ N.m²/C²

distance between two charges, r = 10 cm = 0.1 m

force between the two charges, F = 15 N

when the distance between the charges changes to 13 cm (0.13 m)

force between the two charges, F = ?

Apply Coulomb's law;

F = \frac{Kq_1q_2}{r^2} \\\\let \ Kq_1q_2 = C\\\\F =\frac{C}{r^2} \\\\C = Fr^2\\\\F_1r_1^2 = F_2r_2^2\\\\F_2 =\frac{F_1r_1^2}{r_2^2} \\\\F_2 = \frac{15*0.1^2}{0.13^2} \\\\F_2 = 8.876 \ N

Part (b)

the magnitude of each charge, if they have equal magnitude

F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2}

where;

F is the force between the charges

K is Coulomb's constant

Q is the charge

r is the distance between the charges

F = \frac{KQ^2}{r^2} \\\\Q = \sqrt{\frac{Fr^2}{K} } \\\\Q =  \sqrt{\frac{15*(0.1)^2}{8.99*10^9} } = 4.085 *10^{-6} \ C\\\\Q = 4.085 \ \mu C

Explain what the star looks like to Jane
S_A_V [24]
The star looks like a desirable hunk of masculinity to Jane. But to John, the star looks like a wimpy momma's boy who might compete with him for Jane's attention. Jane and John have different impressions of the star because of their gender-specific instincts that have evolved during thousands of millenia of human evolution.
