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)

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

P=42.075W

Explanation:

The power provided by a resistor (wire in this case) is given by:

P=\frac{V^2}{R}.

The resistance of a wire is given by:

R=\frac{\rho L}{A}

Where for the resistivity the one of the copper should be used: \rho=1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m.

The area A is that of a circle, which written in terms of its diameter is:

A=\pi r^2=\pi (d/2)^2=\frac{\pi d^2}{4}

Putting all together:

P=\frac{AV^2}{\rho L}=\frac{\pi d^2V^2}{4\rho L}

Which for our values is:

P=\frac{\pi (0.00025m)^2(12V)^2}{4(1.68\times10^{-8}\Omega m)(10m)}=42.075W

Answer:

1) solvent

2) liquid-solid

3) gas - gas

Explanation:

1) A solution is the homogenous mixture of two or more substances in such a way that its components are uniformly distributed. In any solution, the solvent make up the greatest quantity or volume while the solute is of lesser quantity.

2) liquid-solid is the most common type of solution.

3) A gas solution can be a gas dissolved in a gas, or a liquid dissolved in a gas, or a solid dissolved in a gas.  Air is a gas - gas solution, it is composed of oxygen and other dissolved gases in nitrogen
