Explain why it is dangerous to jump from a fast moving train

Answer:

When you jump off a train, you jump off a certain height and your downwards (vertical) velocity is zero. But your forward (horizontal) velocity is not. You will hit the ground on split second with your horizontal velocity practically the same as the train.

Explanation:

you be in serious injury.

Nady [450]

Answer:

a)   W_total = 8240 J , b)  W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

Explanation:

In this exercise you are asked to calculate the work that is defined by

       W = F. dy

As the container is rising and the force is vertical the scalar product is reduced to the algebraic product.

       W = F dy = F Δy

let's apply this formula to our case

a) Let's use Newton's second law to calculate the force in the first y = 5 m

          F - W = m a

          W = mg

          F = m (a + g)

          F = 80 (1 + 9.8)

          F = 864 N

The work of this force we will call it W1

   We look for the force for the final 5 m, since the speed is constant the force must be equal to the weight (a = 0)

        F₂ - W = 0

        F₂ = W

        F₂ = 80 9.8

        F₂ = 784 N

The work of this fura we will call them W2

The total work is

         W_total = W₁ + W₂

         W_total = (F + F₂) y

         W_total = (864 + 784) 5

         W_total = 8240 J

b) To find the relationship between work with relate (W1) and work with constant speed (W2), let's use

        W₁ / W₂ = F y / F₂ y

        W₁ / W₂ = 864/784

        W₁ / W₂ = 1.1

Identical guns fire identical bullets horizontally at the same speed from the same height above level planes, one on the Earth a
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

I. The horizontal distance traveled by the bullet is greater for the Moon.

II. The flight time is less for the bullet on the Earth.

Explanation:

Horizontal distance depends on the initial speed, height and gravity. Bullets have the same initial speed and are shot from the same height. In these conditions horizontal distance only depends on gravity, which is inversely proportional. Therefore, the less gravity the greater the horizontal distance. Gravity slows bullet and causes its impact on the ground. Since gravity is greater in Earth, the bullet hits faster on the earth.

The spectrum of Star A has an absorption line of hydrogen at 660.0 nm. The spectrum of Star B has an absorption line at 666 nm.
rjkz [21]

Answer:

The stars are moving away from us.

Explanation:

The observed wavelengths of hydrogen transition for stars A and B (660.0 nm and 666 nm respectively) are greater than that observed in the laboratory (656.2 nm). The observed long wavelengths for the stars means that the light from the stars is red-shifted.

According to the Doppler effect, red-shifted light means that the source is moving a way from the observer; therefore, we arrive at the conclusion that the stars A and B are moving away from us.

Two small aluminum spheres, each of mass 0.0250 kilograms, areseparated by 80.0 centimeters.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Total number of electrons

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

electrons removed from each sphere

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}

Explanation:

As we know that moles is defined as

n =\frac{mass}{molar mass}

n = \frac{0.0250}{0.026982}

n = 0.93

so number of atoms of Al in each sphere is given as

N = 0.93(6.02 \times 10^{23})

N = 5.58 \times 10^{23}

Now number of electrons in each atom is given as

atomic number = number of electrons in each atom = 13

total number of electrons in each sphere is

N = 13 \times (5.58 \times 10^{23})

N = 7.25 \times 10^{24}

Also we know that force of attraction between them is given as

F= \frac{kq_1q_2}{r^2}

1.00 \times 10^4 = \frac{(9\times 10^9)q^2}{0.80^2}

q = 8.4 \times 10^{-4} C

now we have

q = Ne

8.4 \times 10^{-4} = N(1.6 \times 10^{-19}

N = \frac{(8.4 \times 10^{-4})}{1.6 \times 10^{-19}}

N = 5.27 \times 10^{15}

Fraction of electrons transferred is given as

f = \frac{5.27 \times 10^{15}}{7.25 \times 10^{24}}

f = 7.27 \times 10^{-10}
