Two trains, each having a speed of 35 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 70 km/h fli

es off the front of one train when they are 70 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train it flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. (We have no idea why a bird would behave in this way.) What is the total distance the bird travels?

Answer:

Explanation:

The two train are traveling at 35km/hr

A bird starts from one of the train and travel at 70km/hr

The distance between the two train is 70km.

The bird is going to and fro, so since we know the speed of the bird, we only need to know the time the two train will collide

So let calculate the time the two train will meet

Since each train is traveling at 35km/hr

The train will collide at mid point of their distance apart, so let know the time each of the train will get their

Time to each train will get to 35km

Velocity =distance/time

Time =distance/velocity

Time=35/35

Time = 1hour

Therefore, the bird will fly for 1hr before been crushed down by the train

Since the bird is traveling at 70km/hr

Therefore total distance the bird will travel

Distance = velocity × time

Distance = 70 ×1

Distance =70km

So the bird will travel for 70km.

How much heat is released when 432 g of water cools down from 71'c to 18'c?

maria [59]

The heat released by the water when it cools down by a temperature difference $\Delta T$ is
$Q=mC_s \Delta T$
where
m=432 g is the mass of the water
$C_s = 4.18 J/g^{\circ}C$ is the specific heat capacity of water
$\Delta T =71^{\circ}C-18^{\circ}C=53^{\circ}$ is the decrease of temperature of the water

Plugging the numbers into the equation, we find
$Q=(432 g)(4.18 J/g^{\circ}C)(53^{\circ}C)=9.57 \cdot 10^4 J$
and this is the amount of heat released by the water.

A thin Nichrome wire connected to an ammeter surrounds a region of time-varying magnetic flux, and the ammeter reads 13 amperes.

Semenov [28]

Answer:

The current would be same in both situation.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current I = 13 A

Number of turns = 23

We need to calculate the induced emf

Using formula of induced emf is

$\epsilon=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

For N = 1

$\epsilon=A\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

We need to calculate the current

Using formula of current

$i=\dfrac{\epsilon}{R}$

Put the value of emf

$i=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

Now, if the number of turn is 22 , then induced emf would be

$\epsilon'=NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}$

Then the current would be

$i'=\dfrac{\epsilon'}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{NA\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{NR}$

$i'=\dfrac{A\dfrac{dB}{dt}}{R}$

$i'=i$

Hence, The current would be same in both situation.

At baseball practice, Mason and Alfredo both picked up the same bat and neither would let go until one of them had it for himsel

Illusion [34]

Answer:

Option B. O because the net force was 5 N in Alfredo's direction

Explanation:

To know the the correct answer to the question given above, we shall determine the net force acting on the bat. This can be obtained as follow:

Force of pull by Mason (Fₘ) = 15 N

Force of pull by Alfredo (Fₐ) = 20 N

Net force (Fₙ) =?

Fₙ = 20 – 15

Fₙ = 5 N in Alfredo's direction

From the calculation made above, we can see that the net force is 5N in Alfredo's direction. This is the reason why Alfredo end up having the bat.
