Over time, the types of technology can vary and be improved upon so that more advanced techniques become more valued. This could be the situation with mining whereby back in the 1500's in underground mines the rock was broken by fire setting ie lighting a fire below the rock face to heat up the rock and then throwing cold water on it to crack it, so that it could be dug by hand. With the advent of explosives, this all changed so that the rock could be blasted. The increase in advance rates for an underground heading have thus gone from 5-20 feet per month to up to 300meters (984 ft) per month for a 24/7 mining operation, which is a huge improvement.
Reflection: you look in the mirror.
Refraction: You put a straw in a glass of water, and it looks like it broke.
Absorption: If you have a black sweater and you wear it out in the cold, the black sweater is going to hold in heat better than a lighter sweater because the black sweater absorbs light .
Answer:
420000N
Explanation:
Given parameters:
Mass of the train = 5.6 x 10⁵kg
Acceleration = 0.75m/s²
Unknown:
Resultant force = ?
Solution:
According to newton's second law, force is the product of mass and acceleration;
Force = mass x acceleration
Resultant force that acts on the train is given below;
Force = 5.6 x 10⁵kg x 0.75m/s² = 420000N
