Find the speed at which Superman (mass=78.0 kg) must fly into a train (mass = 17863 kg) traveling at 75.0 km/hr to stop it. Running into the train at that speed would severely damage both train and passengers. Calculate the minimum time Superman must take to stop the train, if the passengers experience an average horizontal force of 0.580 their own weight. How far does the train then travel while being slowed to a stop?

Answer with Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of superman=m=78 kg

Mass of train=m'=17863 kg

Speed of train=u'=75 km/h=

Let initial speed of superman=u

Momentum=mv

Using the formula

Average horizontal force=0.58

Deceleration

Final speed of train=v'=0

Using the formula

Using the formula

the best answer for these questions would be:

1.            c. is smaller

2.            d) concrete operational

3.            b) interaction with the environment – the children interact with their environment can them learn more.

4.            a) parents who reason openly with children can limit a child’s cognitive ability.
