Answer:

The minimum running time is 319.47 s.

Explanation:

First we find the distance covered and time taken by the train to reach its maximum speed:

We have:

Initial Speed = Vi = 0 m/s (Since, train is initially at rest)

Final Speed = Vf = 29.17 m/s

Acceleration = a = 0.25 m/s²

Distance Covered to reach maximum speed = s₁

Time taken to reach maximum speed = t₁

Using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at₁

t₁ = (Vf - Vi)/a

t₁ = (29.17 m/s - 0 m/s)/(0.25 m/s²)

t₁ = 116.68 s

Using 2nd equation of motion:

s₁ = (Vi)(t₁) + (0.5)(a)(t₁)²

s₁ = (0 m/s)(116.68 s) + (0.5)(0.25 m/s²)(116.68 s)²

s₁ = 1701.78 m = 1.7 km

Now, we shall calculate the end time and distance covered by train, when it comes to rest on next station.

We have:

Final Speed = Vf = 0 m/s (Since, train is finally stops)

Initial Speed = Vi = 29.17 m/s (The train must maintain max. speed for min time)

Deceleration = a = - 0.7 m/s²

Distance Covered to stop = s₂

Time taken to stop = t₂

Using 1st equation of motion:

Vf = Vi + at₂

t₂ = (Vf - Vi)/a

t₂ = (0 m/s - 29.17 m/s)/(- 0.7 m/s²)

t₂ = 41.67 s

Using 2nd equation of motion:

s₂ = (Vi)(t₂) + (0.5)(a)(t₂)²

s₂ = (29.17 m/s)(41.67 s) + (0.5)(- 0.7 m/s²)(41.67 s)²

s₂ = 607.78 m = 0.6 km

Since, we know that the rest of 7 km, the train must maintain the maximum speed to get to the next station in minimum time.

The remaining distance is:

s₃ = 7 km - s₂ - s₁

s₃ = 7 km - 0.6 km - 1.7 km

s₃ = 4.7 km

Now, for uniform speed we use the relation:

s₃ = vt₃

t₃ = s₃/v

t₃ = (4700 m)/(29.17 m/s)

t₃ = 161.12 s

So, the minimum running time will be:

t = t₁ + t₂ + t₃

t = 116.68 s + 41.67 s + 161.12 s

t = 319.47 s

A series circuit has two 10-ohm bulb is added in a series. Technician A says that the three bulbs will be dimmer than when only

ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Technician A is right. The situation will happens even with only two bulbs in series

Explanation:

We must take into account that

1.- All electric device need its nominal voltage to operate

2.-Any and all electric device means an electric load for the source in terms of equation that means any device will implies a drop voltage of V = I*R ( I the flows current and R the resistance of the device)

3.-Nominal voltage for bulbs are specify for houses voltages you find between fase and neutral wires for instance in Venezuela 120 (v).

4.-In a imaginary circuit of only one bulb, the nominal voltage will be applied and the bulb will operates correctly, but when you add another bulb (in series) the nominal voltage will split between the two bulbs ( we could find a situation such as the first bulb work properly but the second one does not). The voltage split according to Ohms law (in such way that the sum of voltage between the terminal of the first bulb plus the voltage at terminals of the second one are equal to nominal voltage.

For that reason all the bulbs are connected in parallel in wich case all of them will operate with the common voltage

Sea breezes that occur near the shore are attributed to a difference between land and water with respect to what property?

ddd [48]

Answer:

a. mass density

Explanation:

Land and sea breeze that occur near the shore are due to the variation of mass density of air with change in temperature.

When the air gets heated it becomes rarer in density and thus rises up in the atmosphere and its space is occupied by a cooler and denser air that flows to the place.

During the day the land is warmer than the sea so the sea breeze blows and during the night the water bodies are warmer than the land so the land breeze blows.

Two fun-loving otters are sliding toward each other on a muddy (and hence frictionless) horizontal surface. One of them, of mass

zvonat [6]

Answer:

(a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one otter = 8.50 kg

Speed = 6.00 m/s

Mass of other = 5.75 kg

Speed = 5.50 m/s

(a). We need to calculate the magnitude and direction of the velocity of these free-spirited otters right after they collide

Using conservation of momentum

$m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v$

Put the value into the formula

$8.50\times(-6.00)+5.75\times5.50=(8.50+5.75)\times v$

$v=\dfrac{-19.375}{14.25}$

$v=-1.35\ m/s$

Negative sign shows the direction of motion of the object after collision is toward left.

(b). We need to calculate the initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times8.50\times(6.00)^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times5.75\times(5.50)^2$

$K.E_{i}=239.96\ J$

We need to calculate the final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2$

Put the value into the formula

$K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(8.50+5.75)\times(-1.35)^2$

$K.E_{f}=12.98\ J$

We need to calculate the mechanical energy dissipates during this play

Using formula of loss of mechanical energy

$\Delta K.E=K.E_{f}-K.E_{i}$

Put the value into the formula

$\Delta K.E=12.98-239.96$

$\Delta K.E=-226.98\ J$

Negative sign shows the loss of mechanical energy

Hence, (a). The magnitude and direction of the velocity of the otters after collision is 1.35 m/s toward left.

(b). The mechanical energy dissipates during this play is 226.98 J.

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?

VARVARA [1.3K]

The one that is loaded worst. The overall weight is not important; tongue weight is a matter of loading. Our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer, which has stops to position the cat properly, has under 100 lbs tongue weight. Excessive tongue weight is a Bad Thing because it reduces weight on the towing vehicle's front wheels, leading to instability.
