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

Physics
1 answer:
Sergeu [11.5K]1 year ago
7 0

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.

I pull the throttle in my racing plane at a = 12.0 m/s2. I was originally flying at v = 100. m/s. Where am I when t = 2.0s, t =
Helen [10]
Summary:
a= 12.0 m/(s^2)
v= 100m/s
t1= 2.0s => s1=?
t2=5.0s => s2=?
t3=10.0s => s3=?
——————
Solution:
• when t1=2.0 s, I have gone:
S1= v*t1 + 1/2*a*(t1^2)
=100.0 *2 + 1/2*12.0*(2.0^2)
=224 (m)

• when t2=5.0s, I have gone
S2=v*t2+ 1/2*a*(t2^2)
= 100*5.0+ 1/2*12.0*(5.0^2)
=650 (m)

•when t3= 10.0s, I have gone:
S3=v*t3+ 1/2*a*(t3^2)
=100*10.0+ 1/2*12*(10.0^2)
=1600 (m)

Using energy considerations and assuming negligible air resistance, show that a rock thrown from a bridge 20.0 m above water wit
melamori03 [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of the bridge is 20m

Initial before he throws the rock

The height is hi = 20 m

Then, final height hitting the water

hf = 0 m

Initial speed the rock is throw

Vi = 15m/s

The final speed at which the rock hits the water

Vf = 24.8 m/s

Using conservation of energy given by the question hint

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ki is initial kinetic energy

Ui is initial potential energy

Kf is final kinetic energy

Uf is final potential energy

Then,

Ki + Ui = Kf + Uf

Where

Ei = Ki + Ui

Where Ei is initial energy

Ei = ½mVi² + m•g•hi

Ei = ½m × 15² + m × 9.8 × 20

Ei = 112.5m + 196m

Ei = 308.5m J

Now,

Ef = Kf + Uf

Ef = ½mVf² + m•g•hf

Ef = ½m × 24.8² + m × 9.8 × 0

Ef = 307.52m + 0

Ef = 307.52m J

Since Ef ≈ Ei, then the rock thrown from the tip of a bridge is independent of the direction of throw

Two roads intersect at right angles, one going north-south, the other east-west. an observer stands on the road 60 meters south
Sloan [31]

observer is standing at distance d = 60 m south from the intersection

cyclist is travelling at speed v = 10 m/s

now after t = 8 s its displacement from intersection is given by

x = 10*8 = 80 m

so the position of cyclist makes an angle with the observer

\theta = tan^{-1}\frac{80}{60} = 53 degree

now the component of velocity of cyclist along the line joining its position with the observer is given as

v = v_o cos\phi

here

\phi = 90 -\theta

\phi = 90 - 53 = 37 degree

v = 10 cos37 = 8 m/s

so at this instant cyclist is moving away with speed 8 m/s

An object begins at position x = 0 and moves one-dimensionally along the x-axis witļi a velocity v
Liula [17]

Answer:

The answer is "between 20 s and 30 s".

Explanation:

Calculating the value of positive displacement:

\ (x_{+ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 15 \times  20 \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 300 \\\\=  150 \\\\

Calculating the value of negative displacement upon the time t:

(x_{-ve}) = \frac{1}{2} \times 5 \times 20- 20(t-20) \\\\

          = \frac{1}{2} \times 100- 20t+ 400 \\\\= 50- 20t+ 400 \\\\

\to X= X_{+ve} + X_{-ve} \\\\

\to  150 - 50 -20t+400 =0\\\\\to 100 -20t+400 =0 \\\\\to 500 -20t =0\\\\\to 20t =500 \\\\\to t=\frac{500}{20}\\\\\to t=\frac{50}{2}\\\\\to t= 25

That's why its value lie in "between 20 s and 30 s".
