A cattle train left Miami and traveled toward New York. 14 hours later a diesel train left traveling at 45 km/h in an effort to

catch up to the cattle train. After traveling for four hours the diesel train finally caught up. What was the cattle train's average speed?

Answer:

The cattle train´s average speed was 10 km/h.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The traveled distance of the trains can be calculated using this equation:

d = v · t

Where:

d = traveled distance.

v = velocity of the train.

t = time.

The diesel train travels 4 hours at 45 km/h, then, the traveled distance will be:

d = 45 km/h · 4 h = 180 km

Because the diesel train catches the cattle train after traveling 180 km, this will also be the distance traveled by the cattle train. But it took the cattle train (14 h + 4 h) 18 hours to travel that distance. Then, using the equation of distance:

d = v · t

180 km = v · 18 h

180 km/ 18 h = v

10 km /h = v

The cattle train´s average speed was 10 km/h

Have a nice day!

What is the relationship between distance and sound wave return time?
nekit [7.7K]
The time for the echo to return is directly proportional to the distance. vw = fλ. In a given medium under fixed conditions, vw is constant, so that there is a relationship between f and λ; the higher the frequency, the smaller the wavelength.

One mole of an ideal gas expands isothermally from 0.01 m3 to 0.05 m3. The final pressure of gas is 1.2 atm. [15 Marks] determin
erik [133]

Answer:

Initial pressure = 6 atm. Work = 0.144 J

Explanation:

You need to know the equation P1*V1=P2*V2, where P1 is the initial pressure, V1 is the initial volume, and P2 and V2 are the final pressure and volume respectively. So you can rearrange the terms and find that (1.2*0.05)/(0.01) = initial pressure = 6 atm. The work done by the system can be obtained calculating the are under the curve, so it is 0.144J

A boat is drifting with a speed of 5.0\,\dfrac{\text m}{\text s}5.0 s m ​ 5, point, 0, space, start fraction, m, divided by, s,
zepelin [54]

Answer:

d=42m(-\hat{i})

Explanation:

For this problem, we need to apply the formulas of constant accelerated motion.

To obtain the boat displacement we need to calculate the displacement because of the river flow and the displacement done because of the boat motor.

for the river:

d_r=v*t\\d_r=5m/s*6s\\d_r=30m(\hat{i})

for the boat:

x=\frac{1}{2}*a*t^2\\\\x=\frac{1}{2}*4.0m/s*(6s)^2\\\\\\x=72m(-\hat{i})

So the final displacement is given by:

d=dr+x\\d=30m-72m\\d=42m(-\hat{i})

Explain the following observations:
Deffense [45]

Answer and Explanation:

a. An oxygen-filled balloon is not able to float in the air, because the oxygen inside the balloon is of the same density, that is, the same "weight" as the oxygen outside the balloon and present in the atmosphere. The balloon can only float if the gas inside it is less dense than atmospheric oxygen. Helium gas is less dense than atmospheric gas, so if a balloon is filled with helium gas, that balloon will be able to float because of the difference in density.

b. The ship is able to float in the water because its steel construction is hollow and full of air. This makes the average density of this ship less than the density of water, which makes the ship lighter than water and for this reason, this ship is able to float. In addition, the ship is partially immersed, allowing the weight of the ship on the water to counteract the buoyant force that the water promotes on the ship. Weight and buoyant are two opposing forces that keep the ship afloat.
