A light-rail commuter train accelerates at a rate of 1.35 m/s. D A 33% Part (a) How long does it take to reach its top speed of

Dennis_Churaev [7]

Answer:

a) 17.49 seconds

b) 13.12 seconds

c) 2.99 m/s²

Explanation:

a) Acceleration = a = 1.35 m/s²

Final velocity = v = 85 km/h = $85\frac{1000}{3600}=23.61\ m/s$

Initial velocity = u = 0

Equation of motion

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 23.61=0+1.35t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.35}=17.49\ s$

Time taken to accelerate to top speed is 17.49 seconds.

b) Acceleration = a = -1.8 m/s²

Initial velocity = u = 23.61\ m/s

Final velocity = v = 0

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61-1.8t\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{23.61}{1.8}=13.12\ s$

Time taken to stop the train from top speed is 13.12 seconds

c) Initial velocity = u = 23.61 m/s

Time taken = t = 7.9 s

Final velocity = v = 0

$v=u+at\\\Rightarrow 0=23.61+a7.9\\\Rightarrow a=\frac{-23.61}{7.9}=-2.99\ m/s^2$

Emergency acceleration is 2.99 m/s² (magnitude)

Convert 0.700 atm of pressure to its equivalent in millimeters of mercury.

inna [77]

Answer:

532 millimeters of mercury

Explanation:

In order to convert the pressure from atm to millimeters of mercury (mm Hg), we should remind the conversion factor between the two units:

1 atm = 760 mm Hg

Therefore, we can solve the problem by setting up the following proportion:

$1 atm : 760 mmHg = 0.700 atm : x$

Solving for x, we find

$x=\frac{(760 mmHg)(0.700 atm)}{1 atm}=532 mmHg$
