the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N.

<h3>What is friction force?</h3>

Friction force is the force that opposes the motion between two bodies in contact.

To calculate the average friction force provided by the brakes, we apply the formula below.

Formula:

K.E = F'd............. Equation 1

Where:

K.E = Kinetic energy of the train
F' = Friction force provided by the brakes
d = distance

Make F' the subject of the equation

F' = K.E/d............ Equation 2

From the question,

Given:

K.E = 8.1×10⁶
d = 270 m

Substitute these values into equation 2

F' = (8.1 ×10⁶)/270
F' = 30000 N

Hence, the friction force provided by the brakes is 30000 N

The electric field must be zero inside a conductor in electrostatic equilibrium, but not inside an insulator. It turns out that

Answer:

The permittivity of rubber is $\epsilon = 8.703 *10^{-11}$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The magnitude of the point charge is $q_1 = 70 \ nC = 70 *10^{-9} \ C$

The diameter of the rubber shell is $d = 32 \ cm = 0.32 \ m$

The Electric field inside the rubber shell is $E = 2500 \ N/ C$

The radius of the rubber is mathematically evaluated as

$r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{0.32}{2} = 0.16 \ m$

Generally the electric field for a point is in an insulator(rubber) is mathematically represented as

$E = \frac{Q}{ \epsilon } * \frac{1}{4 * \pi r^2}$

Where $\epsilon$ is the permittivity of rubber

=> $E * \epsilon * 4 * \pi * r^2 = Q$

=> $\epsilon = \frac{Q}{E * 4 * \pi * r^2}$

substituting values

$\epsilon = \frac{70 *10^{-9}}{2500 * 4 * 3.142 * (0.16)^2}$

$\epsilon = 8.703 *10^{-11}$

An irrational number is a real number that cannot be written as a simple fraction.

4 = 4/1 = rational

0 = 0/1 = rational

-2/3 = rational

4.11111 = irrational

2 = 2/1 = rational

π = 3.141592... = irrational

Consider the Uniform Circular Motion Gizmo configured as shown. Notice that, under the current settings, |a|=0.50m/s2. What chan

Eddi Din [679]

To increase the centripetal acceleration to $2.00 m/s^2$ , you can double the speed or decrease the radius by 1/4

Explanation:

An object is said to be in uniform circular motion when it is moving at a constant speed in a circular path.

The acceleration of an object in uniform circular motion is called centripetal acceleration, and it is given by

$a=\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

v is the speed of the object

r is the radius of the circular path

In the problem, the original centripetal acceleration is

$a=0.50 m/s^2$

We want to increase it by a factor of 4, i.e. to

$a'=2.00 m/s^2$

We notice that the centripetal acceleration is proportional to the square of the speed and inversely proportional to the radius, so we can do as follows:

- We can double the speed:

v' = 2v

This way, the new acceleration is

$a'=\frac{(2v)^2}{r}=4(\frac{v^2}{r})=4a$
