Answer:
ns for high-speed rail in the United States date back to the High Speed Ground Transportation Act of 1965. Various state and federal proposals have followed. Despite being one of the world's first countries to get high-speed trains (the Metroliner service in 1969), it failed to spread. Definitions of what constitutes high-speed rail vary, including a range of speeds over 110 mph (180 km/h) and dedicated rail lines. Inter-city railwith top speeds between 90 and 125 mph (140 and 200 km/h) is sometimes referred to in the United States as higher-speed rail.[1]
Amtrak's Acela Express (reaching 150 mph, 240 km/h), Silver Star, Northeast Regional, Keystone Service, Vermonter and certain MARC Penn Line express trains (all five reaching 125 mph, 201 km/h) are the only high-speed services in the country.
As of 2020, the California High-Speed Rail Authority is working on the California High-Speed Rail project and construction is under way on sections traversing the Central Valley. The Central Valley section is planned to open in 2029 and Phase I is planned for completion in 2031.[2]

How far will a 600 kg boat travel in 12 s if there is a constant 900 N force on it and it starts from rest?
Answer:
108 metres
Explanation:
Given
[tex]Force = 900N[/tex]
[tex]Mass = 600kg[/tex]
[tex]Time = 12s[/tex]
Required
Determine the distance moved
First, we need to determine the acceleration.
[tex]Force = Mass * Acceleration[/tex]
[tex]900N = 600kg * a[/tex]
Solve for a
[tex]a = 900/600[/tex]
[tex]a = 1.5m/s^2[/tex]
Next, we determine the distance using:
[tex]S = ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2[/tex]
Since it starts from rest,
[tex]u = 0[/tex]
[tex]t = 12[/tex]
[tex]a = 1.5[/tex]
So:
[tex]S = 0 * 12 + \frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * 12^2[/tex]
[tex]S = \frac{1}{2} * 1.5 * 144[/tex]
[tex]S = \frac{1}{2} * 216[/tex]
[tex]S = 108m[/tex]

A diffusion couple, made by welding a thin onecentimeter square slab of pure metal A to a similar slab of pure metal B, was given a diffusion anneal at an elevated temperature and then cooled to room temperature. On chemically analyzing successive layers of the specimen, cut parallel to the weld interface, it was observed that, at one position, over a distance of 5000 nm, the atom fraction of metal A, NA, changed from 0.30 to 0.35. Assume that the number of atoms per m3 of both pure metals is 9 x 10^28. First determine the concentration gradient dnA/dx. Then if the diffusion coefficient, at the point in question and annealing temperature, was 2 10^-14 m^2/s.
Required:
Determine the number of A atoms per second that would pass through this cross-section at the annealing temperature.
Answer:
The value is [tex]H = 18*10^{2} \ Atom / sec [/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The atom fraction of metal A at point G is [tex] A = 0.30 \ m[/tex]
The atom fraction of metal A at a distance 5000nm from G is [tex]A_2 = 0.35[/tex]
The number of atoms per [tex]m^3[/tex] is [tex]N_h = 9 * 10^{28}[/tex]
The diffusion coefficient is [tex]D = 2* 10^{-14 } m^2/s[/tex]
Generally of the concentration of atoms of metal A at G is
[tex] N_A = A * N_h [/tex]
=> [tex] N_A = 0.3 * 9 * 10^{28}[/tex]
=> [tex] N_A = 2.7 * 10^{28} 2.7 atoms/m^3[/tex]
Generally of the concentration of atoms of metal A at a distance 5000nm from G is
[tex]D = 0.35 *9 * 10^{28}[/tex]
=> [tex]D = 3.15 * 10^{28} \ atoms / m^3[/tex]
The concentration gradient is mathematically represented as
[tex]\frac{dN_A}{dx} = \frac{(3.15 - 2.7) * 10^{28} }{5000nm - 0 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{dN_A}{dx} = \frac{(3.15 - 2.7) * 10^{28} }{[5000 *10^{-9}] - 0 }[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{dN_A}{dx} = 9 * 10^{20} / m^4[/tex]
Generally the flux of the atoms per unit area according to Fick's Law is mathematically represented as
[tex]J = -D* \frac{d N_A}{dx}[/tex]
=> [tex]J = -2* 10^{-14 * 9 * 10^{20} [/tex]
=> [tex] J = 18*10^{6}\ atoms\ crossing\ /m^2 s [/tex]
Generally if the cross-section area is [tex] a = 1 cm^2 = 10^{-4} \ m^2[/tex]
Generally the number of atom crossing the above area per second is mathematically is
[tex]H = 18*10^{6} * 10^{-4} [/tex]
=> [tex]H = 18*10^{2} \ Atom / sec [/tex]
The car alarm on a stationary car emits sound waves with a frequency of 450 Hz. If you are moving away from the stationary car at 20 m/s, what alarm frequency do you perceive
Answer:
Explanation:
The frequency of wave is directly proportional to velocity
f = kV
k = f/V
f1/V1 = f2/V2
Given
f1 = 450Hz
V1 = 343m/s
f2 = ?
V2 = 20m/s
Substitute into the formula
450/343 = f2/20
Cross multiply
343f2 = 450×20
343f2 = 9000
f2 = 9000/343
f2 = 26.24Hz

Why do you feel that you are being thrown upward out of your seat when going over an arced hump on a roller coaster
Answer: The options are not given.
Here are the options.
a) There is an additional force lifting up on you.
(b) At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you.
(c) You press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest.Thus the seat presses less on you. (
d) Both b and c are correct.
(e) a, b, and c are correct.
The correct option Is D.
B.At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you. C.At the same time, you press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest because the normal force expirienced will be less.
Explanation:
At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you.At the same time, you press on the seat less than when the coaster is at rest because the normal force expirienced will be less because it is as a result of a phenomenon called Weightlessness. This occur when there is no force or little force is acting on your body. At the top you continue going straight and the seat moves out from under you because there is no force acting on your body and when the body is in free fall i.e acceleration due to gravity , the person is not supported by any thing at.
That is the scenarion that occur...

Victor has 100 trading cards, each with a distinct power level between 101 and 200 inclusive. Whenever he heads out, he always randomly selects 21 cards to bring with him just in case he meets a fellow collector. Prove that no matter which 21 cards he brings, Victor will always be able to select 4 of those cards that exhibit the following property:
Let the average power level of all 4 cards bep. The cards can be split into two pairs, each of which also has an average power level of p.
Answer:
Victor will always be able to select 4 of those cards with the following property
Explanation:
Number of trading cards = 100
victor selects 21 cards
let the 4 cards be labelled : A,B,C and D
The average power level of : A,B,C,D = ( A + B + C + D )/ 4 = P
let the two pairs be : ( A + B ) and ( C + D )
note: average power of each pair = P and this shows that
( A + B ) = ( C + D ) for Victor to select 4 cards out of the 21 cards that exhibit the same property
we have to check out the possible choices of two cards out of 21 cards yield distinct sums.
= C(21,2)=(21x20)/2 = 210.
from the question the number of distinct sums that can be created using 101 through 200 is < 210 .
hence it is impossible to get 210 distinct sums therefore Victor will always be able to select 4 of those cards
A pair of glasses are dropped from the top of a 32.0 m high stadium. A pen is dropped 2.00 s later. How high above the ground is the pen when the glasses hit the ground? (Disregard air resistance. a = -g = -9.81 m/s2.)
Answer:
Explanation:
the distance have the following relation:
d = (1/2)gt2
D=32.0 m
t =√ (2D/g) = √(2*32.0m/9.8m/s2) = 2.56s
it take 2.56s from the glasses to hit the ground
when the glasses hit the ground, the pen only travel Δt =2.56s - 2.00s = 0.56s
x = (1/2)g(Δt)2 = 0.5*9.8m/s2*(0.56s)2 = 1.54 m
the pen only travel 1.54m
so the pen is above the ground 32.0m - 1.54m = 30.46m
The pen is 30.46m above the ground. when the glasses hit the ground. It is represented by x.
What is the height?Height is a numerical representation of the distance between two objects or locations on the vertical axis.
The height can refer to a physical length or an estimate based on other factors in physics or common use. |
The given data in the problem is;
h is the height from the top of a stadium = 32.0 m
t is the time period when the pen is dropped later = 2.00 s
x is the height above the ground
a is the air resistance. a = -g = -9.81 m/s²
From the second equation of motion;
[tex]\rm H =ut+\frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ \rm H =\frac{1}{2} gt^2 \\\\ \rm t = \sqrt{\frac{2H}{g} } \\\\ \rm t = \sqrt{\frac{2 \times32.0 }{9.81} } \\\\ \rm t =2.56\ sec[/tex]
When the glasses fall to the ground, the pen only travels a short distance;
[tex]\rm \triangle t = 2.56 -2.00 \\\\ \rm \triangle t = 0.56 \ sec[/tex]
So the pen travel the distance;
[tex]\rm h= \frac{1}{2} g \triangle t^2 \\\\ \rm h= \frac{1}{2} \times 9.81 (0.56)^2 \\\\ h=1.54 \ m[/tex]
The pen above the ground is found as;
[tex]\rm x = H-h \\\\ \rm x = 32.0-1.54 \\\\ \rm x =30.46 \ m[/tex]
Hence the pen is 30.46m above the ground. when the glasses hit the ground.

A ball is thrown at 20 m/s from the ground upwards at an angle of elevation of 30°. How far away does it land? 35.35 m
Answer:
35.35 m
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Initial velocity (u) = 20 m/s
Angle of projection (θ) = 30°
Acceleration due to gravity (g) = 9.8 m/s²
Range (R) =.?
The range (i.e how far away) of the ball can be obtained as follow:
R = u² Sine 2θ /g
R = 20² Sine (2×30) / 9.8
R = 400 Sine 60 / 9.8
R = (400 × 0866) / 9.8
R = 346.4 / 9.8
R = 35.35 m
Therefore, the range (i.e how far away) of the ball is 35.35 m

a motor boat is traveling at 25 knots towards 340 degree on a river flowing at 20 knots towards 175 degrees. What is the actual speed of the boat as seen by a helicopter piolet hovering above?
Answer:
Vbx = 25 * cos 340 = 23.5 knot x-component of boats speed
Vrx = 20 cos 175 = -19.9 knot x-component of rivers speed
Vx = 3.58 knot x-component of boat and river speed
Vby = 25 sin 340 = -8.55 knot y-component of boat speed
Vry = 20 sin 175 = 1.74 knot y-component of river speed
Vy = -6.81 knot y-component of boat and river speed
V = (Vx^2 + Vb^2)^1/2 = (3.58^2 + 6.81^2)^1/2 = 7.69 knots

In a spy movie, the hero, James, stands on a scale that is positioned horizontally on the floor. It registers his weight as 810 N . Unknown to our hero, the floor is actually a trap door, and when the door suddenly disappears, James and the scale fall at the acceleration of gravity, down towards an unknown fate. As James falls, he looks at the scale to see his weight. What does he see
Answer:
His weight would be zero on the scale i.e he is weightless at that instance.
Explanation:
weight = mg
where m is the mass of the object, and g is the acceleration of gravity.
⇒ 810 = mg
During free fall, the weight of an object can be determined by:
W = mg - ma (provided that acceleration of gravity is greater than acceleration of the object)
where a is the acceleration of the object.
But since James fall at the acceleration of gravity, then:
g = a
mg = ma = 810 N
So that;
W = 810 - 810
= 0 N
Therefore though the weight of James is 810 N, but the scale reads 0 N. this condition is referred to as weightlessness.

5. In Investigation 2, if everything stays the same, except the diameter of the outer ring is doubled, how does the electric field change?
Complete Question
The complete question is shown on the first and second uploaded image
Answer:
There is a change in the electric field by this factor [tex]\frac{ln[\frac{b}{a} ]}{ln[\frac{2b}{a} ]}[/tex]
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The electric field is [tex]E(r)_1 = [\frac{V_o}{ln(b) -ln(a)} ] * \frac{1}{r}[/tex]
Now when the outer diameter is doubled, the radius(b) is also doubled
So
[tex]E(r)_2 = [\frac{V_o}{ln(2b) -ln(a)} ] * \frac{1}{r}[/tex]
Now
[tex]\frac{E(r)_2}{E(r)_1} = \frac{\frac{V_o}{ln(b) -ln(a)} ] * \frac{1}{r}}{\frac{V_o}{ln(2b) -ln(a)} ] * \frac{1}{r}}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{E(r)_2}{E(r)_1} = \frac{V_o}{ln(b) -ln(a)} ] * \frac{1}{r} * \frac{ ln(2b) -ln(a)}{V_o} ] * \frac{r}{1}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{E(r)_2}{E(r)_1} =\frac{ln[\frac{b}{a} ]}{ln[\frac{2b}{a} ]}[/tex]
[tex]=> E(r)_2 =\frac{ln[\frac{b}{a} ]}{ln[\frac{2b}{a} ]} }{E(r)_1}[/tex]
Here we see that the electric field changes by the factor [tex]\frac{ln[\frac{b}{a} ]}{ln[\frac{2b}{a} ]}[/tex]

Explanation:
A fountain shoots a jetof water straight up. The nozzle is 1 cm in diameter and the speed of the water exiting the nozzle is 30 m/s. What is the force exerted by the water jet
Answer:
Explanation:
mass of water coming out per second = A x v where A is area of cross section of the nozzle and v is velocity of water
A = 3.14 x .005²
= 785 x 10⁻⁷ m²
mass of water coming out per second = 785 x 10⁻⁷ x 30 = 23.55 x 10⁻⁴ kg
momentum of this mass = 23.55 x 10⁻⁴ x 30 = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴ kg m /s .
Rate of change of momentum = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴
Let force be F
F - mg = 706.5 x 10⁻⁴
F = mg + 706.5 x 10⁻⁴
F = 23.55 x 10⁻⁴ x 9.8 + 706.5 x 10⁻⁴
= 937.3 x 10⁻⁴ N .
A car traveling at 32.4 m/s skids to a stop in 4.55 s. Determine the skidding distance of the car (assume uniform acceleration).
Answer:
x = 73.71 [m]
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must use two formulas of kinematics. It is important to make it clear that these formulate are for uniformly accelerated motion, i.e. with constant acceleration.
[tex]v_{f }= v_{i}-(a*t)[/tex]
where:
Vf = fnal velocity = 0
Vi = initial velocity = 32.4 [m/s]
t = time = 4,55 [s]
a = acceleration or desacceleration [m/s^2]
0 = 32.4 - (a*4.55)
a = 7.12 [m/s^2]
Note: it is important to clarify that the negative sign in the above equation is because the car stops and decreases its speed to zero, thus its final velocity is equal to zero.
Now using the following equation:
[tex]x = x_{o} + (v_{i}*t)-(\frac{1}{2} )*a*t^{2}[/tex]
where:
xo = initial distance = 0
x = final distance [m]
Therefore we have:
x = 0 + (32.4*4.55) - (0.5*7.12*4.55^2)
x = 73.71 [m]
