A train moving at a constant speed on a surface inclined upward at 10.0° with the horizontal travels a distance of 400 meters in 5 seconds. Calculate the vertical velocity component of the train during this time period. A. 41.10 meters/second B. 19.23 meters/second C. 13.89 meters/second D. 41.70 meters/second E. 78.78 meters/second

C. 13.89 meters/second

Explanation:

If the velocity of the train is v=s/t, where s is the distance and t is time, then v=400/5=80m/s. To get the vertical component of the velocity we need to multiply the velocity v with a sin(α): Vv=v*sin(α), where Vv is the vertical component of the velocity and α is the angle with the horizontal. So:

Vv=80*sin(10)=80*0.1736=13.888 m/s. 

So the vertical component of the velocity of the train is Vv=13.888 m/s.

this is poiselle's equation from fluid mechanic in physics. mech eng

igneous rocks also form where plates converge. the subducting plate melts as it sinks into the crust of the earth, and the melt rises into the overriding plate forming volcanoes. metamorphic rocks are formed mainly in the lithosphere, wherever there is high pressure and high temperature. -woods
