A train consists of a 4300-kg locomotive pulling two loaded boxcars. The first boxcar (just behind the locomotive) has a mass of

12,700 kg and the second (the car in the back) has a mass of 16,300 kg. Presume that the boxcar wheels roll without friction and ignore aerodynamics. The acceleration of the train is 0.569 m/s2. (a) With what force, in Newtons, do the boxcars pull on each other

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to Newton's second law, which defines force as the product between mass and acceleration. Mathematically this can be described as,

F = ma

Here,

m = Mass

a = Acceleration

Taking as reference the mass of the second boxcar, the force applied would be

F = m_2 a

F = (16300kg)(0.569m/s)

F = 9274.7N

Therefore the boxcars pull on each other with a force of 9274.7N

550 J of work must be done to compress a gas to half its initial volume at constant temperature. How much work must be done to c
Over [174]

Answer:

The amount of work that must be done to compress the gas 11 times less than its initial pressure is 909.091 J

Explanation:

The given variables are

Work done = 550 J

Volume change = V₂ - V₁ = -0.5V₁

Thus the product of pressure and volume change = work done by gas, thus

P × -0.5V₁ = 500 J

Hence -PV₁ = 1000 J

also P₁/V₁ = P₂/V₂ but V₂ = 0.5V₁ Therefore  P₁/V₁ = P₂/0.5V₁ or P₁ = 2P₂

Also to compress the gas by a factor of 11 we have

P (V₂ - V₁) = P×(V₁/11 -V₁) = P(11V₁ - V₁)/11 = P×-10V₁/11 = -PV₁×10/11 = 1000 J ×10/11  = 909.091 J of work

Calculate the average charge on arginine when ph=9.20. (hint : find the average charge for each ionizable group and sum these to
weqwewe [10]
Arginine is a basic aminoacid, because it has two amino groups and one acid group. At a low pH, every ionizable group is protoned. At a little higher pH, the acid group looses its proton. A little higher pH, one amino group looses its proton. At a very high pH, all ionizable groups are not protoned.

Pkas

<span> <span><span> <span> pka1 = 1.82 </span> <span> pka2 = 8.99 </span> <span> pka3 = 12.48 </span> </span> </span></span> So 9.20 is higher tan the second pKa and lower than the third pka. This means the acid has already lost its proton, and one of the aminos too, but the second amino hasn’t. When an acid is not protoned, it has a negative charge. When an amino is not protoned, it’s neutral. When an amino is protoned, it has a positive charge. So this amnino acid has one positive charge (one of the aminos) and one negative charge (the acid), what makes it neutral.

A 10-kg dog is running with a speed of 5.0 m/s. what is the minimum work required to stop the dog in 2.40 s?
ankoles [38]
Given required solution

M=10kg W=? W=Fd
v=5.0m/s F=mg
t=2.40s =10*10=100N
S=VT
=5m/s*2.4s
=12m
so W=12*100
W=1200J

Automobile A starts from O and accelerates at the constant rate of 0.75 m/s2. A short time later it is passed by bus B which is
boyakko [2]

Answer:

they meet from point o at distance 50.46 m and time taken is 11.6 seconds

Explanation:

given data

acceleration = 0.75 m/s²

speed B = 6 m/s

time B = 20 s

to find out

when and where the vehicles passed each other

solution

we consider here distance = x , when they meet after o point

and time = t for meet point z

we find first Bus B distance for 20 s ec

distance B = velocity × time

distance B = 6 × 20

distance B = 120 m

so

B take time to meet is calculate by distance formula

distance = velocity × time

120 - x = 6 × t

x = 120 - 6t   .................1

and

distance of A when they meet by distance formula

distance = ut + 1/2 × at²

here u is initial speed = 0 and t is time

x = 0 + 1/2 × 0.75 × t²

x = 0.375 × t²      .............2

so from equation 1 and 2

0.375 × t²  = 120 - 6t

t = 11.6

so time is 11.6 second

and

distance from point o from equation 2

x = 0.375 (11.6)²

x = 50.46

so distance from point o is 50.46 m

VikaD [51]
We know that:
F = ma,
so
F/a = constant
F₁/a₁ = F₂/a₂
F₂ = F₁ x 5.6 / 1
F₂ = 5.6F₁

If F₁ = 45 N,
F₂ = 5.6 x 45
= 252 N
