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)

What are 2 ways electromagnets are used
lisabon 2012 [21]
Electromagnets are used for various purposes but I fathom in this instance, the questioner is asking about how electromagnetics can be used to attraction or repulsion.
Example, electromagnets are used for attraction in cranes which attach them to containers in order to lift them.
Meanwhile, Maglev trains use electromagnets repulsive properties.

Describe what happens to chemical<br> bonds during a chemical reaction
dimulka [17.4K]

Explanation:

The bonds that keep molecules together break apart and form new bonds during chemical reactions, rearranging atoms into different substances. Each bond takes a distinct amount of energy to either break or form; the reaction does not take place without this energy, and the reactants stay as they were.

The final velocity of car is 20 m/s. The car is accelerating at a rate of 2.5m/s over a 10 seconds period of time. What is the i
balu736 [363]

Answer:

-5m/s

Explanation:

Since

acceleration=final velocity-initial velocity/time

2.5m/s^2=20m/s- initial velocity/10s

2.5m/s^2×10s= 20m/s -initial velocity

25m/s=20m/s - initial velocity

Initial velocity=20m/s-25m/s

= -5m/s
