a bridge is 500m long. A 100m long train crosses it at a speed of 30m/s. Find the time taken by the train to cross it.

For the nose of the train to cross from one side of the bridge
to the other takes 500m. But then the nose must travel another
100m to get every bit of the train off of the bridge. So from the time
the nose enters onto the bridge, it must travel another 600m.

That will take (600 m) / (30 m/sec) = 20 seconds.

Find the ratio of the diameter of iron to copper wire, if they have the same resistance per unit length (as they might in househ

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

The ratio of the diameter of iron to Cu is;

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

Explanation:

R=(ρL)/A

R is resistance,
L is length,
A is area,
ρ is resistivity
d is diameter

from the question the two materials have the same resistance per unit length.

$\frac{R}{L}= \frac{p}{A}$

$\frac{R}{L}$ for iron = $\frac{R}{L}$ for copper

This means we can equate ρ/A for both materials.

$\frac{p_{Fe} }{A_{Fe} } =\frac{p_{Cu} }{A_{Cu} }$

re-arranging the equation we have,

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$A=\pi \frac{d^{2} }{4}$

$\frac{A_{Fe}}{A_{Cu} } =\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} }$

$\frac{d^{2}{Fe} }{ d^{2}{Cu} } =\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }$

$\frac{d{Fe} }{ d{Cu} } =\sqrt{\frac{p_{Fe} }{ p_{Cu} }}$

1. James drives 400 km in 5 hours to his grandmothers. What are the units for speed going to be?

Airida [17]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

1. Speed is calculated as the ratio of distance and time. Hence, Jame's speed can be calculated as:

400/5 km/hr = 80 km/hr

The unit for the speed would be km/hr. This can also be converted to m/s:

80 km = 80,000 m

1 hr = 3,600 s

80 km/hr = 80,000/3600 m/s = 22.22 m/s

2. Since James drove 400 km in 5 hours, the distance he drove is 400 km.

3. The time it took for James to get there is 5 hours.

James rode his bike 0.65 hours and traveled 8.45 km. What was his speed?

maria [59]

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

= ( 8.45 km) / (0.65 hr)

= (8.45 / 0.65) km/hr

= 13 km/hr
