Fig. 2.1 shows a train Fig. 2.1
The total mass of the train and its passengers is 750000kg. The train is travelling at a speed of 84m/s.
The driver applies the brakes and the train takes 80s to slow down to a speed of 42m/s.
(a) Calculate the impulse applied to the train as it slows down,
impulse =
[3]
(b) Calculate the average resultant force applied to the train as it slows down,
force =
(2)

When the velocity of an object is doubled, by what factor is its momentum changed? by what factor is its kinetic energy changed? a) the momentum is zero. b) the momentum is not zero. c) difficult to say.

1. consider the case in which air fills air shocks on a truck trailer. the pressure in the shocks is 2 mpa. the temperature is 300 k. the diameter of the shock piston is 10 cm and the initial length of the cylindrical cavity containing the compressed air is 40 cm. a. the truck is gradually loaded over a period of a day in a static setting. the temperature is held constant for the atmosphere and thus for the gas shock. calculate the compressibility of the air in the shock for this condition when the truck is initially being loaded. b. if the shocks were loaded in a dynamic setting by driving over bumps, what would be the compressibility? state your assumption. c. what is the initial load on the shock if the shock is in an atmospheric 100 kpa? d. if the shock is compressed using the process described in part a, and the air shock compressed air cavity length decreases to 20 cm, what is the additional load applied to the shock?

Acar travels in reverse. it covers 150 meters in 12 seconds what is the velocity of the car what is the speed of the car
