A train locomotive is pulling two cars of the same mass behind it. Determine the ratio of the tension in the coupling (think of

it as a cord) between the locomotive and the first car (FT1) to that between the first car and the second car (FT2), for any nonzero acceleration of the train

Answer:

The ratio is  \frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}}  =  2

Explanation:

The diagram for this question is shown on the first uploaded image

Here we are assume the acceleration of the train is a

which makes the acceleration of each car a

From the question we are told that

      Considering the second car

 The force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented as

       F_{T2} =  ma

 Considering the first car

 The force causing it s movement  is mathematically represented as

      F  = F_{T1} -F_{T2} = ma

=>   F_{T1} -ma  = ma

=>   F_{T1} =  2 ma

=> \frac{F_{T1}}{ma}  =  2

=> \frac{F_{T1}}{F_{T2}}  =  2

A piece of driftwood moves up and down as water waves pass beneath it. However, it does not move toward the shore with the waves
pantera1 [17]

Answer:

It's A

Explanation:

As the waves progress through the medium, the particles they are made of move perpendicular to the direction in which the waves move. The particles do not move with the wave. So waves transmit energy but not matter as they progress through a medium.

You are trying to overhear a juicy conversation, but from your distance of 20.0 m , it sounds like only an average whisper of 30
12345 [234]

Answer:

r₂ = 0.2 m

Explanation:

given,

distance = 20 m

sound of average whisper = 30 dB

distance moved closer = ?

new frequency = 80 dB

using formula

\beta = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{I_0})

   I₀ = 10⁻¹² W/m²

now,

30 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_1}{10^{-12}}= 10^3

I_1= 10^{-8}\ W/m^2

to hear the whisper sound = 80 dB

80 = 10 log(\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}})

\dfrac{I_2}{10^{-12}}= 10^8

I_2= 10^{-4}\ W/m^2

we know intensity of sound is inversely proportional to square of distances

\dfrac{I_1}{I_2}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{r_1^2}

\dfrac{10^{-8}}{10^{-4}}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

10^{-4}=\dfrac{r_2^2}{20^2}

  r₂ = 0.2 m

Mike is a runner. Mike runs 200m in 25s; what is his average velocity during the run? assume that units are in m/s. (asap, will
maw [93]
Velocity is displacement/time
(Displacement is the overall change in distance)

So you’ll want to divide 200 by 25, which should give you:

8 m/s
