Why do trains use steel wheels rather than rubber tires?                                                                 A) Steel wheels provide more grip, making it easier to stop a train.B) Rubber tires don't provide enough friction to allow the train to move.
C) Steel wheels increase friction, thus making it easier to move the load.
D) Steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: D) steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.  Friction between rubber and steel would be greater than steel and steel.  Friction creates heat, which represents a loss of energy (which has to come from somewhere else - likely from the kinetic energy of the train)
Answer 2
Answer: Steel wheels reduce friction, thus requiring less force to move the load.

What is the kinetic energy of a 1 kg ball thrown into the air with an initial velocity of 30 m/s

Answers


Welll ... we can do the math and the physics and get an answer
for you, but then we'll really want to step back into the real world
and see how feasible all of this is.

      Kinetic Energy = (1/2) (mass) (speed)²

                              = (1/2)  (1 kg)  (30 m/s)²

                              = (1/2)  (1 kg)  (900 m²/s²)

                              =     450 kg-m²/s²  =  450 joules .

That's the KE of the ball at the instant it leaves your hand,
moving at 30 m/s .  Immediately after that, we don't know
what happens to it.  It may lose speed, if you tossed it upward,
or it may gain speed, if you tossed it downward or horizontally. 
As soon as its speed changes, so does its KE.

And now, a word from the real world:
' 30 m/s ' is about 67 miles per hour, and the ball weighs a little
over 2 pounds.  Do you really think you could make that toss ?

If there is a resistance off 45 ohms and a current of 120amps , what is the voltage ? ​

Answers

Hello!

The answer is:  The voltage is 5400 Volts.

Why?

We can calculate the voltage using the Ohm's Law.

The Ohm'ws Law states that:

V=I*R

Where,

V, is the voltage in volts

I, is the current in amps

R, is the resistance in ohms

We are given:

R=45ohms\nI=120Amps

Now, calculating the voltage, we have:

V=I*R=45ohms*120Amps=5400Volts

Hence, the voltage is 5400 Volts.

We can also calculate the power using the following formula:

P=V*I

Where,

P, is the power in watts

V, is the voltage in volts

I, is the current in amps

So,

P=5400Volts*120Amps=648000W

Have a nice day!
