Answer:
C. scientists possess varied talents and interests.
Explanation:
The above passage suggests clearly that often times, scientists possess varied talents and interests.
Cases were made of Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī and Robert Hooke. Both were scientists and had the same time had interests in other disciplines.
- Abū Rayhān al-Bīrūnī, a Persian made scientific contribution to the studies of heat, more so, his interest in cultures lucidly made him an erudite and foremost founding father of anthropology. Physics/mathematics and Anthropology are different fields with varied interests.
- Robert Hooke, was interested in physics. Besides this, he was skilled architect and surveyor. Physics and architecture/surveying are different fields. They are varied and dissimilar in nature.
Therefore, we can argue that the tone set by the author conveys a clear focal point that often times, scientists possess varied talents and interests.
Answer:
C. 39 m/s
Explanation:
First we need to calculate the total force required to move the train along the inclined plane. So, it is clear that the work done will be equal to the component of the weight that is parallel to the inclined plane, because there is no frictional force present:
Force = F = mg Sin θ
where,
m = mass of train = 3.3 x 10⁶ kg
g = 9.8 m/s²
θ = Angle of Inclination = 0.64°
Therefore,
F = (3.3 x 10⁶ kg)(9.8 m/s²)Sin 0.64°
F = 3.612 x 10⁵ N
Now, the formula for power is:
P = FV
V = P/F
where,
V = Velocity of Train = ?
P = Power of Engine = 14 MW = 1.4 x 10⁷ W
Therefore,
V = 1.4 x 10⁷ W/3.612 x 10⁵ N
V = 38.75 m/s
which is approximately equal to:
<u>C. 39 m/s</u>
