The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
A high-speed bullet train accelerates and decelerates at the rate of 4 ft/s^2. Its maximum cruising speed is 90 mi/h. What is the maximum distance the train can travel if it accelerates from rest until it reaches its cruising speed and then runs at that speed for 15 minutes?
Solution :
Given :
Speed of the bullet train, v = 90 mi/h
= [tex]$90 \times \frac{5280}{3600}$[/tex]
= 132 ft/s
Time = 15 minutes
= 15 x 60
= 900 s
Acceleration from rest,
[tex]$a(t) = 4 \ ft/s^2$[/tex]
[tex]$v(t) = 4t + C$[/tex]
Since, v(0) = 0, then C = 0, so velocity is
v(t) = 4t ft/s
Then find the position function,
[tex]$s(t) = \frac{4}{2}t^2 + C$[/tex]
[tex]$=2t^2+C$[/tex]
It is at position 0 when t = 0, so C = 0, and the final position function for only the time it is accelerating is :
[tex]$s(t) = 2t^2$[/tex]
Time to get maximum cruising speed is :
4t = 132
t = 33 s
Distance travelled (at cruising speed) by speed to get the remaining distance travelled.
[tex]$900 \ s \times 132 \ \frac{ft}{s} = 118800 \ ft$[/tex]
Total distance travelled, converting back to miles,
[tex]$2178 + 118800 = 120978\ ft . \ \frac{mi}{5280 \ ft}$[/tex]
= 22.9125 mi
Therefore, the distance travelled is 22.9125 miles
A moderate wind accelerates a pebble over a horizontal xy plane with a constant acceleration a with arrow = (4.60 m/s2)i hat + (7.00 m/s2)j. At time t = 0, the velocity is (4.3 m/s)i hat. What are magnitude and angle of its velocity when it has been displaced by 11.0 m parallel to the x axis?
Explanation:
Given
Acceleration of the pebble is
At t=0, velocity is
considering horizontal motion
[tex]\Rightarrow x=ut+0.5at^2 \\\Rightarrow 11=4.3t+0.5(4.6)t^2\\\Rightarrow 2.3t^2+4.3t-11=0\\\Rightarrow (t-1.4435)(t+3.3131)=0\\\Rightarrow t=1.44\ s\quad [\text{Neglecting negative time}]\\[/tex]
Velocity acquired during this time
[tex]\Rightarrow v_x=4.3+4.6\times 1.44\\\Rightarrow v_x=4.3+6.624\\\Rightarrow v_x=10.92\ s[/tex]
Consider vertical motion
[tex]\Rightarrow v_y=0+7(1.44)\\\Rightarrow v_y=10.08\ m/s[/tex]
Net velocity is
[tex]\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{10.92^2+10.08^2}\\\Rightarrow v=\sqrt{220.85}\\\Rightarrow v=14.86\ m/s[/tex]
Angle made is
[tex]\Rightarrow \tan \theta =\dfrac{10.08}{10.92}\\\\\Rightarrow \tan \theta =0.92307\\\\\Rightarrow \theta =42.7^{\circ}[/tex]
A point charge of -3.0 x 10-C is placed at the origin of coordinates. Find the clectric field at the point 13. X= 5.0 m on the x-axis.
Answer:
-1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C
Explanation:
Applying,
E = kq/r²................ equation 1
Where E = elctric field, q = charge, r = distance, k = coulomb's law
From the question,
Given: q = -3.0×10 C, r = 5.0 m
Constant: k = 8.98×10⁹ Nm²/C²
Substitute these values in equation 1
E = (-3.0×10)(8.98×10⁹)/5²
E = -1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C
Hence the electric field on the x-axis is -1.0778×10⁻¹⁰ N/C

If Katie swims from one end of the pool, to the other side, and then swims back to her original spot, her average velocity is half of her average speed when she swam to the other side.a) trueb) false
Answer:
false.
Explanation:
Ok, we define average velocity as the sum of the initial and final velocity divided by two.
Remember that the velocity is a vector, so it has a direction.
Then when she goes from the 1st end to the other, the velocity is positive
When she goes back, the velocity is negative
if both cases the magnitude of the velocity, the speed, is the same, then the average velocity is:
AV = (V + (-V))/2 = 0
While the average speed is the quotient between the total distance traveled (twice the length of the pool) and the time it took to travel it.
So we already can see that the average velocity will not be equal to half of the average speed.
The statement is false
Find the volume of cuboid of side 4cm. Convert it in SI form
Answer:
0.000064 cubic meters.
Explanation:
Given the following data;
Length of side = 4 centimeters
Conversion:
100 centimeters = 1 meters
4 cm = 4/100 = 0.04 meters
To find the volume of cuboid;
Mathematically, the volume of a cuboid is given by the formula;
Volume of cuboid = length * width * height
However, when all the sides are equal the formula is;
Volume of cuboid = L³
Volume of cuboid = 0.04³
Volume of cuboid = 0.000064 cubic meters.
A small ball of uniform density equal to 1/2 the density of water is dropped into a pool from a height of 5m above the surface. Calculate the maximum depth the ball reaches before it is returned due to its bouyancy. (Omit the air and water drag forces).
Answer:
1.67 m
Explanation:
The potential energy change of the small ball ΔU equals the work done by the buoyant force, W
ΔU = -W
Now ΔU = mgΔh where m = mass of small ball = ρV where ρ = density of small ball and V = volume of small ball. Δh = h - h' where h = final depth of small ball and h' = initial height of small ball = 5 m. Δh = h - 5
ΔU = mgΔh
ΔU = ρVgΔh
Now, W = ρ'VgΔh' where ρ = density of water and V = volume of water displaced = volume of small ball. Δh' = h - h' where h = final depth of small ball and h' = initial depth of small ball at water surface = 0 m. Δh' = h - h' = h - 0 = h
So, ΔU = -W
ρVgΔh = -ρ'VgΔh'
ρVg(h - 5) = -ρ'Vgh
ρ(h - 5) = -ρ'h
Since the density of the small ball equals 1/2 the density of water,
ρ = ρ'/2
ρ(h - 5) = -ρ'h
(ρ'/2)(h - 5) = -ρ'h
ρ'(h - 5)/2 = -ρ'h
(h - 5)/2 = -h
h - 5 = -2h
h + 2h = 5
3h = 5
h = 5/3
h = 1.67 m
So, the maximum depth the ball reaches is 1.67 m.
You drop two balls of equal diameter from the same height at the same time. Ball 1 is made of metal and has a greater mass than ball 2, which is made of wood. The upward force due to air resistance is the same for both balls. Is the drop time of ball 1 greater than, less than, or equal to the drop time of ball 2? Explain why
Answer:
The drop time ball 1 is less than the drop time of ball 2. A further explanation is provided below.
Explanation:
The net force acting on the ball will be:
⇒ [tex]F_{net}=mg-F_r[/tex]
Here,
F = Force
m = mass
g = acceleration
Now,
According to the Newton's 2nd law of motion, we get
⇒ [tex]F_{net} = ma[/tex]
To find the value of "a", we have to substitute "[tex]F_{net}=ma[/tex]" in the above equation,
⇒ [tex]ma=mg-F_r[/tex]
⇒ [tex]a=g-\frac{F_r}{m}[/tex]
We can see that, the acceleration is greater for the greater mass of less for the lesser mass. Thus the above is the appropriate solution.
Answer:
Both the ball takes equal time to reach to the ground.
Explanation:
Two balls of same diameter
Let the height is h.
Mass of ball 1 is more than the mass of ball 2.
The second equation of motion is
[tex]h = u t +0.5 gt^2[/tex]
Here, the buoyant force due to air is same. So, the time of fall is independent of the mass.
So, both the ball takes equal time to reach to the ground.

A point on a rotating wheel (thin hoop) having a constant angular velocity of 200 rev/min, the wheel has a radius of 1.2 m and a mass of 30 kg. ( I = mr2 ).
(a) (5 points) Determine the linear acceleration.
(b) (4 points) At this given angular velocity, what is the rotational kinetic energy?
Answer:
Look at work
Explanation:
a) I am not sure if you want tangential or centripetal but I will give both
Centripetal acceleration = r*α
Since ω is constant, α is 0 so centripetal acceleration is 0m/s^2
Tangential acceleration = ω^2*r
convert 200rev/min into rev/s
200/60= 10/3 rev/s
a= 100/9*1.2= 120/9= 40/3 m/s^2
b) Rotational Kinetic Energy = 1/2Iω^2
I= mr^2
Plug in givens
I= 43.2kgm^2
K= 1/2*43.2*100/9=2160/9=240J
The Lamborghini Huracan has an initial acceleration of 0.85g. Its mass, with a driver, is 1510 kg. If an 80 kg passenger rode along, what would the car's acceleration be?
Answer:
7.9 [tex]\frac{m}{s^{2} }[/tex]
Explanation:
Take the fact that mass is inversely proportional to accelertation:
m ∝ a
Therefore m = a, but because we are finding the change in acceleration, we would set our problem up to look more like this:
[tex]\frac{m_{1} }{m_{2} } = \frac{a_{2} }{a_{1} } \\[/tex]
Using algebra, we can rearrange our equation to find the final acceleration, [tex]a_{2}[/tex]:
[tex]a_{2} = \frac{a_{1}*m_{1} }{m_{2} } \\[/tex]
Before plugging everything in, since you are being asked to find acceleration, you will want to convert 0.85g to m/s^2. To do this, multiply by g, which is equal to 9.8 m/s^2:
0.85g * 9.8 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex] = 8.33 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex]
Plug everything in:
7.9 [tex]\frac{m }{s^{2} }[/tex] = [tex]\frac{ 8.33\frac{m}{s^{2} }*1510kg }{1590kg}[/tex]
(1590kg the initial weight plus the weight of the added passenger)
It takes 130 J of work to compress a certain spring 0.10m. (a) What is the force constant of this spring? (b) To compress the spring an additional 0.10 m, does it take 130 J, more than 130 J or less than 130 J? Verify your answer with a calculation.
Explanation:
Given that,
Work done to stretch the spring, W = 130 J
Distance, x = 0.1 m
(a) We know that work done in stretching the spring is as follows :
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\k=\dfrac{2W}{x^2}\\\\k=\dfrac{2\times 130}{(0.1)^2}\\\\k=26000\ N/m[/tex]
(b) If additional distance is 0.1 m i.e. x = 0.1 + 0.1 = 0.2 m
So,
[tex]W=\dfrac{1}{2}kx^2\\\\W=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 26000\times 0.2^2\\\\W=520\ J[/tex]
So, the new work is more than 130 J.

C. When the independent variable is continuous and shows a casual link to the dependent variable
D. When there is no independent variable
Find the starting pressure of CCl4 at this temperature that produces a total pressure of 1.1 atm at equilibrium. Express the pressure in atmospheres to three significant figures.
The complete question is as follows: At 700 K, [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] decomposes to carbon and chlorine. The Kp for the decomposition is 0.76.
Find the starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] at this temperature that will produce a total pressure of 1.1 atm at equilibrium.
Answer: The starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 0.79 atm.
Explanation:
The equation for decomposition of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is as follows.
[tex]CCl_{4}(g) \rightleftharpoons C(s) + 2Cl_{2}(g)[/tex]
Let us assume that initial concentration of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 'a'. Hence, the initial and equilibrium concentrations will be as follows.
[tex]CCl_{4}(g) \rightleftharpoons C(s) + 2Cl_{2}(g)[/tex]
Initial: a 0 0
Equilibrium: (a - x) 0 2x
Total pressure = (a - x) + 2x = a + x
As it is given that the total pressure is 1.1 atm.
So, a + x = 1.1
a = 1.1 - x
Now, expression for equilibrium constant for this equation is as follows.
[tex]K_{p} = \frac{P^{2}_{Cl_{2}}}{P_{CCl_{4}}}\\0.76 = \frac{(2x)^{2}}{(a - x)}\\0.76 = \frac{4x^{2}}{1.1 - x - x}\\0.76 = \frac{4x^{2}}{1.1 - 2x}\\x = 0.31 atm[/tex]
Hence, the value of 'a' is calculated as follows.
a + x = 1.1 atm
a = 1.1 atm - x
= 1.1 atm - 0.31 atm
= 0.79 atm
Thus, we can conclude that starting pressure of [tex]CCl_{4}[/tex] is 0.79 atm.
Which of the following statements is correct about the magnitude of the static friction force between an object and a surface?
a. Static friction depends on the mass of the object.
b. Static friction depends on the shape of the object.
c. Static friction depends on what the object is made of but not what the surface is made of.
d. None of the above is correct.
Answer:
Static friction depends on the mass of the object.
Explanation:
Friction is the force between two surfaces in contact. The force of friction between two surfaces in contact depends on;
1) nature of the object and the surface(how rough or smooth the surfaces are)
2)surface area of the object and the surface
3) mass of the object
Since;
F=μmg
Where;
μ= coefficient of static friction
m= mass of the object
g= acceleration due to gravity
Hence, as the mass of the object increases, the magnitude of static friction force between an object and a surface increases and vice versa.
Many types of decorative lights are connected in parallel. If a set of lights is connected to a 110 V source and the filament of each bulb has a hot resistance of what is the currentthrough each bulb
Answer:
i₀ = V / R_i
Explanation:
For this exercise we use Ohm's law
V = i R
i = V / R
the equivalent resistance for
[tex]\frac{1}{R_{eq}}[/tex] = ∑ [tex]\frac{1}{R_i}[/tex]
if all the bulbs have the same resistance, there are N bulbs
[tex]\frac{1}{ R_{eq}} = \frac{N}{R_i}[/tex]
R_{eq} = R_i / N
we substitute
i = N V / Ri
where i is the total current that passes through the parallel, the current in a branch is
i₀ = i / N
i₀ = V / R_i
1.- Que distancia recorrió una carga de 2,5x10-6 coul, generando así un campo eléctrico de 55new/coul.
Answer:
r = 20.22 m
Explanation:
Given that,
Charge,[tex]q=2.5\times 10^{-6}\ C[/tex]
Electric field, [tex]E=55\ N/C[/tex]
We need to find the distance. We know that, the electric field a distance r is as follows :
[tex]E=\dfrac{kq}{r^2}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{kq}{E}}\\\\r=\sqrt{\dfrac{9\times 10^9\times 2.5\times 10^{-6}}{55}}\\\\r=20.22\ m[/tex]
So, the required distance is 20.22 m.
A small plane tows a glider at constant speed and altitude. If the plane does 2.00 * 105 J of work to tow the glider 145 m and the tension in the tow rope is 2560 N, what is the angle between the tow rope and the horizontal
Answer:
θ = 57.4°
Explanation:
The complete formula to find out the work done by the plane is as follows:
[tex]W = FdCos\theta[/tex]
where,
W = Work = 200000 J
F = Force = Tension = 2560 N
d = distance = 145 m
θ = angle between rope and horizontal = ?
Therefore,
[tex]200000\ J = (2560\ N)(145\ m)Cos\theta\\\\Cos\theta = \frac{200000\ J}{371200\ J}\\\\\theta = Cos^{-1}(0.539)[/tex]
θ = 57.4°

a tiger covers a distance of 600 m in 15 minutes what is a speed of a tiger?
Answer: 2.4 km/hr
Explanation:
Distance = 600m
Time= 15 minutes = 15 x 60 second/minute = 900 seconds
Speed = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{600}{900}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] m/sec

Steel wire rope is used to lift a heavy object. We use a 3.1m steel wire that
is 6.0mm in diameter and lift a 1700kg object. Then, the wire elongates
0.17m. Calculate the Young’s modulus for the rope material.
Answer:
Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.
Explanation:
The Young's modulus is given by:
[tex] E = \frac{FL_{0}}{A\Delta L} [/tex]
Where:
F: is the force applied on the wire
L₀: is the initial length of the wire = 3.1 m
A: is the cross-section area of the wire
ΔL: is the change in the length = 0.17 m
The cross-section area of the wire is given by the area of a circle:
[tex] A = \pi r^{2} = \pi (\frac{0.006 m}{2})^{2} = 2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2} [/tex]
Now we need to find the force applied on the wire. Since the wire is lifting an object, the force is equal to the tension of the wire as follows:
[tex] F = T_{w} = W_{o} [/tex]
Where:
[tex] T_{w} [/tex]: is the tension of the wire
[tex]W_{o} [/tex]: is the weigh of the object = mg
m: is the mass of the object = 1700 kg
g: is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²
[tex] F = mg = 1700 kg*9.81 m/s^{2} = 16677 N [/tex]
Hence, the Young's modulus is:
[tex] E = \frac{16677 N*0.006 m}{2.83 \cdot 10^{-5} m^{2}*0.17 m} = 20.8 MPa [/tex]
Therefore, Young's modulus for the rope material is 20.8 MPa.
I hope it helps you!
What is the minimum angular spread (in rad) of a 534 nm wavelength manganese vapor laser beam that is originally 1.19 mm in diameter
Answer:
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 547.45 x 10⁻⁶ rad
Explanation:
GIven;
Wavelength of manganese vapor laser beam = 534 nm = 534 x 10⁻⁹ m
Diameter = 1.19 mm = 1.19 x 10⁻³ m
Find:
Minimum angular spread (in rad)
Computation:
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 1.22[Wavelength / Diameter]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 1.222[(534 x 10⁻⁹) / (1.19 x 10⁻³)]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 2[448.73 x 10⁻⁶]
Minimum angular spread (in rad) = 547.45 x 10⁻⁶ rad
A 5 kg object is moving in a straight-line with an initial speed of v m/s. It takes 13 s for the speed of the object to increase to 13 m/s and it kinetic energy increases at a rate of 15 J/s. What is the initial speed v (in m/s)?
The object's kinetic energy changes according to
dK/dt = 15 J/s
If v is the object's initial speed, then its initial kinetic energy is
K (0) = 1/2 (5 kg) v ²
Use the fundamental theorem of calculus to solve for K as a function of time t :
[tex]K(t) = K(0) + \displaystyle\int_0^t \left(15\frac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)\,\mathrm du = \dfrac12 (5\,\mathrm{kg}) v^2 + \left(15\dfrac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)t[/tex]
After t = 13 s, the object's kinetic energy is
K (13 s) = 1/2 (5 kg) (13 m/s)² = 422.5 J
Put this as the left side in the equation above for K(t) and solve for v :
[tex]422.5\,\mathrm J = \dfrac12 (5\,\mathrm{kg}) v^2 + \left(15\dfrac{\rm J}{\rm s}\right)(13\,\mathrm s)[/tex]
==> v ≈ 9.5 m/s

This same hollow sphere is now compressed so that its radius is R/2, and then it is entirely filled with the same fluid as before. As such, what is the density of the compressed sphere?
a. 8p
b. p/8
c. p/4
d. 4p
Answer:
a. 8p
Explanation:
We are given that
Radius of hollow sphere , R1=R
Density of hollow sphere=[tex]\rho[/tex]
After compress
Radius of hollow sphere, R2=R/2
We have to find density of the compressed sphere.
We know that
[tex]Density=\frac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
[tex]Mass=Density\times volume=Constant[/tex]
Therefore,[tex]\rho_1 V_1=\rho_2V_2[/tex]
Volume of sphere=[tex]\frac{4}{3}\pi r^3[/tex]
Using the formula
[tex]\rho\times \frac{4}{3}\pi R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{4}{3}\pi (R/2)^3[/tex]
[tex]\rho R^3=\rho_2\times \frac{R^3}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\rho_2=8\rho[/tex]
Hence, the density of the compressed sphere=[tex]8\rho[/tex]
Option a is correct.
An elevator with its occupants weighs 2400 N and is supported by a vertical cable. What is the tension in the cable if the elevator is moving up with its speed decreasing at a rate of 1.7
Answer:
Hope you find it useful. please correct me if I am wrong
The tension in the cable if the elevator is moving upward with its speed decreasing at a rate of 1.7 m/s² is equal to 1983.67 N.
What is tension?Tension can be described as a force acting along the length of a medium such as a rope, mainly a force carried by a flexible medium.
Tension can be defined as an action-reaction pair of forces acting at each end of the elements. The tension force is in every section of the rope in both directions, apart from the endpoints. Each endpoint of the rope experience tension and force from the weight attached.
Given the force due to the weight of the elevator = mg = 2400N
m = 2400/9.8 Kg
The elevator deaccelerating while moving upward, a = -1.7 m/s²
According to Newton's 3rd law: T - mg = ma
T - 2400 = (2400/9.8) × (-1.7)
T = 2400 - 416.32
T = 1983.67 N

Explain the following observations:
a) A balloon filled with hydrogen gas floats in air;
B) A ship made of steel floats on water.
Answer and Explanation:
a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.
b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
A conducting sphere of radius 5.0 cm carries a net charge of 7.5 µC. What is the surface charge density on the sphere?
Answer:
[tex]\sigma=0.014\ C/m^2[/tex]
Explanation:
Given that,
The radius of sphere, r = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Net charge carries, q = 7.5 µC = 7.5 × 10⁻⁶ C
We need to find the surface charge density on the sphere. Net charge per unit area is called the surface charge density. So,
[tex]\sigma=\dfrac{7.5\times 10^{-6}}{\dfrac{4}{3}\pi \times (0.05)^3}\\\\=0.014\ C/m^2[/tex]
So, the surface charge density on the sphere is [tex]0.014\ C/m^2[/tex].
