An engineer in a locomotive sees a car stuck on the track at a railroad crossing in front of the train. When the engineer first sees the car, the locomotive is 260 m from the crossing and its speed is 26 m/s. If the engineer's reaction time is 0.51 s, what should be the magnitude of the minimum deceleration to avoid an accident? Answer in units of m/s 2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The right answer is "1.369 m/s²".

Explanation:

The given values are:

Distance (s)

= 260 m

Initial speed (u)

= 26 m/s

Reaction time (t')

= 0.51 s

During reaction time, the distance travelled by locomotive will be:

⇒  [tex]s'=ut'[/tex]

        [tex]=26\times 0.51[/tex]

        [tex]=13.26 \ m[/tex]

Remained distance between locomotive and car:

⇒  [tex]x=s-s'[/tex]

         [tex]=260-13.26[/tex]

         [tex]=246.74 \ m[/tex]

Now,

The final velocity to avoid collection is, V = 0 m/s

From third equation of motion:

⇒  [tex]V^2=u^2+2ax[/tex]

On putting the estimated values, we get

⇒  [tex]0=(26)^2+2\times a\times 246.74[/tex]

⇒  [tex]0=676+493.48a[/tex]

⇒  [tex]493.48a=-676[/tex]

⇒            [tex]a=-\frac{676}{493.48}[/tex]

⇒            [tex]a=1.369 \ m/s^2[/tex]

Initial launch speed of the cars are in order as  Vcar 1 = Vcar 2< Vcar 3

What is speed?

The speed of any moving object is the ratio of the distance covered and the time taken to cover that distance.

Toy cars 1, 2 and 3 are launched horizontally with the trajectories shown below. Cars 1 and 2 are launched from a 15 m high cliff, while Car 3 is launched from a 30m high cliff. We can ignore air friction.

The velocity of the toy car 1 and 2 is

V1/2 = √2gh

Put the values, we get

V 1/2= √(2x 9.81x 15)

V1/2 = 17.16 m/s

The velocity of the toy car3 is

V3 = √2gh

Put the values, we get

V3 = √(2x 9.81x 30)

V3 = 24.26 m/s

Thus,  Vcar 1 = Vcar 2 < Vcar 3

Prior to science lab, Maria had been drinking a can of soda. When she walked into the lab she set it down on the hot plate at her station. She heard a liquid beginning to boil, and realized that the previous students had forgotten to turn off the hotplate and the boiling noise was from the remaining soda in the can. Without thinking, she picked up the can with her bare hands, and put it upside down into the sink which was half full of liquid. Immediately the can crushed as though it was going to be recycled. What do you think is happening to the soda and air in the can? Support you claim in Question 4, by explaining why you think it is happening. Formulate your hypothesis for the problem. Critique Maria's laboratory safety procedures.

Answers

Answer:

The hypothesis as to what happened to the soda and the air in the can are as follows;

The solubility of air in the soda is high at low temperatures, such that air (carbon dioxide, CO₂) is trapped in the soda and when it is drank, it gives it its fresh taste

By placing the can of soda on the hot plate, drives off the air in the soda such that the space directly above the liquid soda is filled with the original air (carbon dioxide), in the soda

By dipping the soda upside down in the sink half filled with water, the soda is cooled down and the air (carbon dioxide) directly above the surface of the liquid soda is reabsorbed into the liquid soda, such that if the lid of the soda is sealed, the vacuum created by the empty space directly above the liquid soda becomes a region of low pressure and the combined pressure from the atmosphere and the liquid level in the sink, causes the can to immediately crushed (deformed).

What is Newton's second law of motion ?

Force(F) applied on the body is mass(m) times its acceleration(a). i.e. F=ma according to this equation we get acceleration as a = F/m this equation says that when we apply more force to the body, more acceleration it gets. When more is the mass of the body, greater force is needed to accelerate with same amount to that less mass.

According to the relation, a = F/m

mass produces inertia in the body, means mass is a resistance to the linear motion. if mass is greater acceleration is less and mass is more the acceleration is more.

if mass  sand leaks at a constant rate from a hole in the truck bed, mass of the truck decreases which increases the acceleration.

B
The ball will move with a constant speed.
С
The ball will slowly accelerate.
The ball will slow down and eventually stop
D
43

Answers

Answer:

B. The ball will move with a constant speed.

Explanation:

Assuming a ball is traveling through space at a velocity of 25 m/s. The statement which best describes the motion of this moving ball if there is no external force applied to the ball is that, the ball will move with a constant speed in accordance with Newton's first law of motion.

Newton's first law of motion states that, an object or body will continue to be at rest or experience a uniform motion in a straight line at constant speed provided there's no action of an external force. Thus, unless compelled to change its state by an external force, a body will continue to be at rest or experience a uniform motion in a straight line.

The Newton's first law of motion is also known as the law of inertia; which is the tendency of a body to be at rest unless acted upon by an external force.

Gravitational force

The force of gravity is the force with which the earth, moon, or other massively large object attracts another object towards itself.

Normal force

The normal force is the support force exerted upon an object that is in contact with another stable object.

Friction force

The friction force is the force exerted by a surface as an object moves across it or makes an effort to move across it.

Tension force

The tension force is the force that is transmitted through a string, rope, cable or wire when it is pulled tight by forces acting from opposite ends.

Spring force

The spring force is the force exerted by a compressed or stretched spring upon any object that is attached to it.

Two friends push a stalled
1330 kg car with a 187 N force,
How much time does it take
to move the car 5.00 m?
(Unit = s)

Answers

Answer:

8.42s

Explanation:

The time (in seconds) needed to move the car can be calculated using the formula:

S = ut + 1/2at²

Where; S = distance (m) = 5m

u = initial velocity (m/s)

a = acceleration (m/s²)

t = time (s)

However, the acceleration (a) can be got by using F = ma

Where; F = force = 187 N

m = mass = 1330 kg

F = ma

a = F/m

a = 187/1330

a = 0.1406

a = 0.141m/s²

Since a= 0.141m/s², S = 5m, t =

S = ut + 1/2at²

5 = (0 × t) + 1/2 × (0.141 × t²)

5 = 0 + 0.141t²/2

5 = 0.141t²/2

10 = 0.141t²

t² = 10/0.141

t² = 70.922

t = √70.922

t = 8.42s
