A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly, until it has traveled 5.6 km and acquired a velocity of 42 m/s. The train then moves at a constant velocity of 42 m/s for 420 s. The train then slows down uniformly at 0.065 m/s^2, until it is brought to a halt. What is the acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel?

Answer from: hannahsambrano12

0.1575 m/s^2

Explanation:

Solution:-

- Acceleration ( a ) is expressed as the rate of change of velocity ( v ).

- We are given that the trains starts from rest i.e the initial velocity ( vo ) is equal to 0. Then the train travels from reference point ( so = 0 ) to ( sf = 5.6 km ) from the reference.

- During the travel the train accelerated uniformly to a speed of ( vf =42 m/s ).

- We will employ the use of 3rd kinematic equation of motion valid for constant acceleration ( a ) as follows:

v_f^2 = v_i^2 + 2*a*( s_f - s_o )

- We will plug in the given parameters in the equation of motion given above:

$42^2 = 0^2 + 2*a* ( 5600 - 0 )\\\\1764 = 11,200*a\\\\a = \frac{1,764}{11,200} \\\\a = 0.1575 \frac{m}{s^2}$

the acceleration during the first 5.6 km of travel is 0.1575 m / s^2

Answer from: Quest

scattering of light by tiny particles in air to produce the colors we see on sky, is dependent on the following factors:

(i) wavelength of light

(ii) size of the scattering particle

(iii) distance traveled by light through the atmosphere.

according to rayleigh's law of scattering, the amount of scattering is inversely proportional to the fourth power of its wavelength. shorter the wavelength, greater is its scattering. hence violet/blue light is scattered more than red.

sun's light is a composite light ( visible light) with wavelengths in the range 400 nm (violet) to 700 nm (red). as sunlight passes through our atmosphere, the molecules of air scatter light according to their wavelengths. during sunrise and sunset, the sun's position is below the horizon. hence light from the sun travels a greater distance in the atmosphere when compared to its position a noon.

as sunlight enters the earth's atmosphere, blue light is scattered away and at the end of its journey in the sky, only red and orange wavelengths remain in the beam.

hence at sunrise and sunset, the sky appears reddish orange.
