hi guys i got a couple of questions can somebody help me out by telling me the steps of where to go about and i will try to get the answer on my own as i need to understand how to do these questions i will post what i know.
1. a train slows down as it turns, from 90 km/hr to 50 km/hr in 15seconds. the radius is 150m, calculate the acclereation the moment it reaches 50km/hr.
first of all i know the formula is a= v^2 / r
what i don't know is that i am given 90k/hr and 50 km/hr, time and a radius, I am thinking maybe i don't use the a=v^2/r formula but perhaps v= u + at ?
2. there is a pictuer of a circle all i am given is radius is 2.50 m, outside the circle is a= 15 m/s^2 and insie the circle is an angle of 30degrees with a line going down. It wants me to calculate radial, tangential accerlearation along with the speed of the particle.
im thinking maybe the a=15 m/s^2 is the overall accleration and maybe use the components of sin30 and cos30 I am lost please shed me some light ppl thanks
