If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

o listening for it standing by the track? In other words, how much faster will the sound travel through the iron rails than through the air? Assume the air temperature is 0°C. Sound will reach you seconds sooner.

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer:  283 s (nearest second)

Bogdan [553]

Answer:

0.4 m/s

Explanation:

Law of conservation of momentum tell us that the change in momentum of the hammer will be equal to the change in momentum of the astronaut

change in momentum of hammer = change in momentum of astronaut

2 kg (14 m/s - 0 m/s) = 70 kg * (v-0)

                                v  = 0.4 m/s

An object of length 3.00 cm is inside a plastic block with index of refraction 1.40. If the object is viewed from directly above
Lilit [14]
  • The length of its image = -3cm

Given,

length of object, h_o = 3 cm

We know, for flat refracting surface,  

Image distance = object distance

So,

magnification is = -1

length of the image,

h_i = magnification * h_o\\\\h_i = -1 * 3 \\\\h_i = -3cm

Here, negative sign means inverted image.

Suppose that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 1818​​\text{ m/s} m/s​. The height of the baseball at t
olga2289 [7]

Answer:

13.1 m/s

Explanation:

Given that a baseball is tossed up into the air at an initial velocity 18 m/s​. The height of the baseball at time t​ in seconds is given by h(t) = 18t−4.9t 2 ​​​​​ (in meters).

a) What is the average velocity for [1,1.5]​?

To calculate the velocity travelled by the ball, differentiate the function.

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8t

Substitute t for 1 in the above Differential function

dh/dt = 18 - 9.8 (1)

But dh/dt = velocity

V = 18 - 9.8

V = 8.2 m/s

Average velocity = ( U + V ) / 2

Average velocity = (18 + 8.2)/2

Average velocity = 26.2/2

Average velocity = 13.1 m/s

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:No, the slope won't be too steep

Explanation:

Force is an external agency that causes a body to change its position while friction is a force that causes a body to slide over another. This force is called the frictional force (Ff). The force that causes a body to move is the moving force (Fm).

The slope will be too steep if the frictional force is greater than the moving force since the frictional force tends to oppose the moving force.

According to the explanation, we need to get Ff and compare with the moving force along the plane.

If Ff>Fm it means the slope will be too steep but if Ff<Fm, the slope won't be too steep and as such the body can easily be moved along the plane.

Resolving forces acting along the plane we have FmSintheta + Ff = Fm (FmSintheta and Ff are added because they act in the same direction along the plane)

Fm=50N, theta=5°

Imputing this into the formula to get Ff;

50sin5°+Ff =50

Ff= 50-50sin5°

Ff= 50-4.35

Ff= 45.65N

Since Ff<Fm, this means the slope is not too steep and as such the 30kg load can be moved along the plane easily.
