Alocomotive enters a station with an initial velocity of 19 m/s and slows down at a rate of .8m/s^2 as it goes through. if the station is 175 m long, how fast is it going when the nose leaves the station?

Final velocity, v = 25.3 m/s

Explanation:

Initial velocity of a locomotive, u = 19 m/s

Acceleration of the locomotive, a = 0.8 m/s²

Length of station, d = 175 m

We need to find its final velocity (v) when the nose leaves the station. It can be calculated using the third law of motion :

v = 25.31 m/s

v = 25.3 m/s

When the nose leaves the station, it will move with a velocity of 25.3 m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

the average speed is 24.57 km/hr

two charges are fixed in place on the x-axis as shown. the charge at x = 0 is negative and has magnitude q = 2 μcoulombs (1 μcoulomb = 10-6 coulombs). the charge at x = d, (d = +12 cm), is positive and has magnitude q = 4 μcoulombs. find a point x = xo along the x-axis at which the electric field is zero.
