A cart on wheels (assume frictionless) with a mass of 20 kg is pulled rightward with a 50N force. What is its acceleration?
Light travels through a vacuum at a speed of 2.998 x 108m/s. Determine the speed of light in the following media:
crown glass (n = 1.52)
2.62 Collision. 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.
