At the top of each Forum, there is a big blue button entitled Start New Thread. Yours sounds like homework, so you should post in one of the homework forums using the required template.MindGeek192 said:I'm not sure where to start
As long as it's only a hint or a leading question.Jediknight said:am I allowed to propose a start to a solution?, no worries either way but I'd thought id see if trying to help would help
Accelerating at 0.1g means that the train is increasing its velocity by 0.1 times the acceleration due to gravity, or approximately 9.8 meters per second squared. This is equivalent to a force of 0.1 times the weight of an object on Earth.
The acceleration of the train will cause objects to experience a force in the same direction as the train's acceleration. This force will cause objects to move towards the back of the train, as if they were being pulled by a rope tied to the back of the train. The magnitude of this force will depend on the mass of the object.
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity, while velocity is the rate of change of position. In other words, acceleration is how quickly the velocity is changing, while velocity is how quickly the position is changing. Acceleration is a vector quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction, while velocity is a vector quantity that only has magnitude.
The acceleration of the train is a direct result of Newton's Second Law of Motion, which states that an object will accelerate in the direction of the net force acting on it. In this case, the train is experiencing a force from the engine that is causing it to accelerate. Additionally, Newton's First Law of Motion states that objects will remain at rest or in motion at a constant velocity unless acted upon by a net force. This means that without the engine accelerating the train, it would continue to move at a constant velocity.
The acceleration of the train will cause passengers to feel a sensation of being pushed towards the back of the train. This is due to the force of acceleration acting on their bodies. However, as long as the train is accelerating at a constant rate, the passengers will eventually adapt to this force and it will feel like they are standing normally. If the train were to suddenly accelerate or decelerate, the passengers would feel a jolt or a sense of being thrown forward or backwards.
