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)

A 4-kilogram ball moving at 8 m/sec to the right collides with a 1-kilogram ball at rest. After the collision,
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after

Momentum = mass x velocity

So before the collision:
4kg x 8m/s = 32
1kg x 0m/s = 0
32+0=32

Therefore after the collision
4kg x 4.8m/s = 19.2
1kg x βm/s = β
19.2 + β = 32

Therefore β = 12.8 m/s

Difference between relaxation time and collision time?
Black_prince [1.1K]
For the answer to the question above, let us first start with relaxation time. it is the absence of an external electric field, the free electrons in a metallic substance will move in random directions so that the resultant velocity of free electrons in any direction is equal to zero. While the Collision time it is<span> the mean </span>time<span> required for the direction of motion of an individual type particle to deviate through approximately as a consequence of </span>collisions<span> with particles of type.</span>

In order to place a satellite into orbit, it requires enough fuel to supply the necessary mechanical energy. Into what types of
nexus9112 [7]

When a satellite is revolving into the orbit around a planet then we can say

net centripetal force on the satellite is due to gravitational attraction force of the planet, so we will have

F_g = F_c

\frac{GM_pM_s}{r^2} = \frac{M_s v^2}{r}

now we can say that kinetic energy of satellite is  given as

KE = \frac{1}{2}M_s v^2

KE = \frac{GM_sM_p}{2r}

also we know that since satellite is in gravitational field of the planet so here it must have some gravitational potential energy in it

so we will have

U = -\frac{GM_sM_p}{r}

so we can say that energy from the fuel is converted into kinetic energy and gravitational potential energy of the satellite
