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!

An ideal gas Carnot cycle with air in a piston cylinder has a high temperature of 1000 K and a heat rejection at 400 K. During t
vivado [14]

Answer:

W / n = - 9133 J / mol, W / n = 3653 J / mol , e = 0.600

Explanation:

The Carnot cycle is described by

      e= 1 - Q_{c} / Q_{H} = 1 - T_{c} / T_{H}

     

In this case they indicate that the final volume is

         V = 3V₀

In the part of the heat absorption cycle from the source is an isothermal expansion

         W = n RT ln (V₀ / V)

         W / n = 8.314 1000 ln (1/3)

          W / n = - 9133 J / mol

During the part of the isothermal compression in contact with the cold focus, as in a machine the relation of volumes is maintained in this part is compressed three times

            W / n = 8.314 400 (3)

           W / n = 3653 J / mol

The efficiency of the cycle is

            e = 1- 400/1000

            e = 0.600

To solve this problem we need to apply the corresponding sound intensity measured from the logarithmic scale. Since in the range of intensities that the human ear can detect without pain there are large differences in the number of figures used on a linear scale, it is usual to use a logarithmic scale. The unit most used in the logarithmic scale is the decibel yes described as

\beta_{dB} = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

Where,

I = Acoustic intensity in linear scale

I_0 = Hearing threshold

The value in decibels is 17dB, then

17dB = 10log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

Using properties of logarithms we have,

\frac{17}{10} = log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0}

log_{10} \frac{I}{I_0} = 1.7

\frac{I}{I_0} = 10^{1.7}

\frac{I}{I_0} = 50.12 W/m^2

Therefore the factor that the intensity of the sound was 50.12W/m^2

The Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².

Given,

α= 15°, m₁ = 7kg

β= 65°, m₂ = 11 kg

Let, a be the acceleration and T is the tensions at the end it's the cord.

Let, the mass m₂ be coming down along the inclined plane along the inclined surface towards downward m₂g sin β and the tension in the upward direction,

Resultant force, m₂a=m₂g sin β -T

11a=((11) ×g sin 65°) -T  ...(i)

Now, considering the motion of m₁ which moves downwards, the forces are m₁g sinα, and T both are acting downwards.

Resultant force m₁a = m₁g sin α+T

7a =7g sin 15°+T  ...(ii)

Solving both the equations by adding them,

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°-T+T

18a=11gsin 65°+7g sin 15°=115.45

a=115.45/18=6.41 m/s²

Hence, the Acceleration of the system is 6.41 m/s².
