The proton is positively charged, the electron negatively, but both with the same magnitude of charge given by e=1.602x10-19C. The mass of an electron is 9.11x10-31kg, and the proton is 1.67x10-27kg.

The engineer of a passenger train traveling at 25.0 m/s sights a freight train whose caboose is 200 m ahead on the same track (Fig. P2.62). The freight train is traveling at 15.0 m/s in the same direction as the passenger train. The engineer of the passenger train immediately applies the brakes, causing a constant acceleration of 0.100 m/s² in a direction opposite to the train's velocity, while the freight train continues with constant speed. Take x = 0 at the location of the front of the passenger train when the engineer applies the brakes. (a) Will the cows nearby witness a collision? (b) If so, where will it take place? (c) On a single graph, sketch the positions of the front of the pas- senger train and the back of the freight train.arrow_forwardCan I get help with how to calculate total displacement?
