Freight trains can produce only relatively small accelerations and decelerations. What is the final velocity, in meters per seco

nd, of a freight train that accelerates at a rate of 0.065 m/s^2 for 9.75 min, starting with an initial velocity of 3.4 m/s? If the train can slow down at a rate of 0.625 m/s^2, how long, in seconds, does it take to come to a stop from this velocity? How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (a)? How far, in meters, does the train travel during the process described in part (b)?

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity of train u = 3.4 m⁻¹ , Acceleration a = .065 ms⁻² ,

time t = 9.75 x 60 = 585 s.

v = u + at

= 3.4 + .065 x 585

= 41.425 m / s

distance travelled during the acceleration ( s )

s = ut + 1/2 at²

= 3.4 x 585 + .5 x .065 x 585²

= 1989 + 11122.31

= 13111.31 m .

again for slowing process

u = 41.425 m / s

v = u -at

0 = 41.425 - 0.625 t

t = 66.28 s

v² = u² - 2as

0 = 41.425² - 2 x .625 s

s = 1372.82 m

Two insulated copper wires of similar overall diameter have very different interiors. One wire possesses a solid core of copper,

Marrrta [24]

Answer:

a

Solid Wire $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Stranded Wire $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

b

Solid Wire $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Stranded Wire $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

Explanation:

Considering the first question

From the question we are told that

The radius of the first wire is $r_1 = 1.53 mm = 0.0015 \ m$

The radius of each strand is $r_0 = 0.306 \ mm = 0.000306 \ m$

The current density in both wires is $J = 1750 \ A/m^2$

Considering the first wire

The cross-sectional area of the first wire is

$A = \pi r^2$

= > $A = 3.142 * (0.0015)^2$

= > $A = 7.0695 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current in the first wire is

$I = J*A$

=> $I = 1750*7.0695 *10^{-6}$

=> $I = 0.01237 \ A$

Considering the second wire wire

The cross-sectional area of the second wire is

$A_1 = 19 * \pi r^2$

=> $A_1 = 19 *3.142 * (0.000306)^2$

=> $A_1 = 5.5899 *10^{-6} \ m^2$

Generally the current is

$I_2 = J * A_1$

=> $I_2 = 1750 * 5.5899 *10^{-6}$

=> $I_2 = 0.00978 \ A$

Considering question two

From the question we are told that

Resistivity is $\rho = 1.69* 10^{-8} \Omega \cdot m$

The length of each wire is $l = 6.25 \ m$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R = \frac{\rho * l }{A}$

=> $R = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{ 7.0695 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R = 0.0149 \ \Omega$

Generally the resistance of the first wire is mathematically represented as

$R_1 = \frac{\rho * l }{A_1}$

=> $R_1 = \frac{ 1.69* 10^{-8} * 6.25 }{5.5899 *10^{-6} }$

=> $R_1 = 0.0189 \ \Omega$

A laser of wavelength 720 nm illuminates a double slit where the separation between the slits is 0.22 mm. Fringes are seen on a

kumpel [21]

Answer:

The appropriate solution is "2.78 mm".

Explanation:

Given:

$\lambda = 720 \ nm$

or,

$= 720\times 10^{-9} \ m$

$D=0.85 \ m$

$d = 0.22 \ mm$

or,

$=0.22 \times 10^{-3} \ m$

As we know,

Fringe width is:

⇒ $\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

hence,

Separation between second and third bright fringes will be:

⇒ $\theta=\beta=\frac{\lambda D}{d}$

$=\frac{720\times 10^{-9}\times 0.85}{0.22\times 10^{-3}}$

$=2.78\times 10^{-3} \ m$

or,

$=2.78 \ mm$
