Answer:

No, there won't be a collision.

Explanation:

We will use the constant acceleration formulas to calculate,

v = u + a*t

0 = 25 + (-0.1)*t

t = 250 seconds (the time taken for the passenger train to stop)

v^2 = u^2 + 2*a*s

0 = (25)^2 + 2*(-0.1)*s

s = 3125 m (distance traveled by passenger train to stop)

If the distance traveled by freight train in 250 seconds is less than (3125-200=2925 m) than the collision will occur

Speed*time = distance

Distance = (15)*(250)

Distance = 3750 m

As the distance is way more, there won’t be a collision

determine the loudness (in decibels) of the sound at a rock concert if the intensity of the sound is 1 x 10–1 w/m2. remember, th

EleoNora [17]

The loudness of the sound at the rock concert, where the intensity of the sound is1 x 10⁻¹ Wm⁻² is 110 dB.

Here we are dealing with loudness which is the perception of the Intensity of the sound.

The formula to refer to in order to find the value of the loudness of a sound is ,

db= 10log(I/I₀)

As we are provided with the current intensity which is 1 x 10⁻¹ Wm⁻². and the initial intensity which is 1 x 10⁻¹² Wm⁻².

So, by substituting the required values in the formula we get

db= 10 * log( 1 x 10⁻¹ /1 x 10⁻¹²)

= 10 * 11 log(10)

= 110

So, the result is 110 dB.

Two friends whisper at a volume of 20 decibels. Later, they converse at a volume of 40 decibels.

Yuki888 [10]

40 dB is 20 dB more power than 20 dB is. 20 dB more means 100 times as much.

Light from a laser with wavelength 400 nm passed through two small openings and produces an interference pattern on a screen 1 m

alexira [117]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to destructive interference from double-slit experiments. For this purpose we will define the path difference as,

$\text{Path difference}= dsin\theta = (2n-1)\frac{\lambda}{2}$

Here,

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

$\theta$ = Angle when occurs the interference point of destructive interference

Our values are given as,

$\text{Wavelength} = \lambda = 400nm = 4*10^{-7}m$

$\text{Distance of Screen} = D = 1m$

Using the previous expression we have,

$d \times \theta = \frac{\lambda}{2}$

$d \times (0.1) = \frac{4*10^{-7}}{2}$

$d = 2*10^{-6} m$

$d = 2\mu m$ $d = 2\mu m$

Therefore the distance between the two openings is $2\mu m$

Suppose a car travels 108 km at a speed of 30.0 m/s, and uses 1.90 gallons of gasoline. Only 30% of the gasoline goes into usefu

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

686.11 N

1.7733 gallons

Explanation:

$\eta$ = Efficiency = 30%

V = Volume of gasoline

E = Energy content of gasoline = $1.3\times 10^8\ J/gal$

F = Force

s = Displacement = 108000 m

v = Velocity

Work done is given by

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{W}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{VE\eta}{s}\\\Rightarrow F=\frac{1.9\times 0.3\times 1.3\times 10^8}{108000}\\\Rightarrow F=686.11\ N$

The force required to keep the car moving at a constant speed is 686.11 N

Here the force is directly proportional to speed

$\\\Rightarrow F=v$

$\\\Rightarrow \frac{F_1}{v_1}=\frac{F_2}{v_2}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{F_1\times v_2}{v_1}\\\Rightarrow F_2=\frac{686.11\times 28}{30}\\\Rightarrow F_2=640.36\ N$

$W=F\times s\\\Rightarrow 0.3\times 1.3\times 10^8\times V=640.36\times 108000\\\Rightarrow V=\frac{640.36\times 108000}{0.3\times 1.3\times 10^8}\\\Rightarrow V=1.7733\ gal$

The gallons that will be used is 1.7733 gallons
