8000 kg engine pulls a train of 5 wagons, each of 2000 kg, along a horizontal track. If the engine exerts a force of 40000 N and the track offers a friction force of 5000 N, then calculate the net accelerating force

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The net force of engine on total mass of train is 35000 N

The net acceleration is 1.944 m/s²

Explanation:

Here we have;

Mass of each wagon of train = 2000 kg

Number of wagons = 5

Total mass of wagons = 5 × 2000 = 10000 kg

Mass of engine = 8000 kg

Total mass, m of train (engine plus wagons) = 10000 + 8000 = 18000 kg

Force exerted by train = 40000 N

Friction force due to the railway track = 5000 N

Net force, F of engine on total mass of train = 40000 - 5000 = 35000 N

Formula for force, F = Mass, m × Acceleration, a  

35, 000 = 18,000 × a

a = 35,000/18,000 = 35/18 m/s²

[tex]a = 1\tfrac{17}{18} \ m/s^2[/tex]

The net acceleration = 1.944 m/s².

Answer: The atomic number of uranium (see periodic table) is 92, and the mass number of the isotope is given as 238. Therefore, it has 92 protons, 92 electrons, and 238 — 92 : 146 neutrons.

Explanation:

Object A has a mass of 10 kg and is moving at a velocity of 2.0
m/s. So Object A's momentum is - kg. m/s.​

Answers

Answer:20kgm/s

Explanation:

Mass=10kg

Velocity=2m/s

Momentum=mass x velocity

Momentum=10 x 2

Momentum=20

Momentum=20kgm/s

The object with mass m when moving with the velocity, its momentum can be calculated. The momentum of the object A is 20 kg.m/s.

What is momentum?

Momentum is the product of mass and velocity of a moving object.

If the momentum is p, the mass of the object is 10 kg and the velocity is 2.0 m/s, then the momentum will be

p = 10 × 2.0

p = 20 kg.m/s

Thus, the momentum of the object A is 20 kg.m/s

Rohit placed a pencil perpendicular to principal axis in front of a converging
mirror of focal length 30 cm. The image formed is twice the size of the pencil.
Calculate the distance of the object from the mirror.

Answers

Answer:

45 cm ( in my opinion)‍♀️

Explanation:

( Using the mirror formula)

1/ u + 1/v = 1/f

( introducing magnification; m into the formula )

u( 1/u  + 1/v ) =u×1/f

1 + u/v =u/f

( But u/v =1 ÷v/u= 1/m)

1 +1/m =u/f

(Supposing m is actually equal to 2, and f =30 cm, then;)

1 + 1/2 =u/30

2+1= u/15

3=u/15

3×15=u

45 cm=u

resistance?
A 12 ohms
B 0.75 ohms
C 3.0 ohms
D.0.5 ohms
E. 6.0 ohms

Answers

Answer:

The answer is "C. 3.0 ohms". 

Explanation:

Ohm's law states the following:,

V = IR

where:

Voltage (V) = 1.5 volts × 4 batteries = 6.0 volts

Current (I) = 2.0 amps

Resistance (R) = ? ohms

To solve for Resistance (R) the equation must be rearranged this way:

 R = V / I

Then, the variables must be replaced with the known values:

 R = 6.0 volts / 2.0 amp

R = 3.0 ohms

The answer is  C. 3.0 ohms.
