¡Hellow!

For this problem, first, lets convert the seconds in hours:

5,4x10³ $\rightarrow$ 5400

h = sec / 3600

h = 5400 s / 3600

h = 1,5

Let's recabe information:

d (Distance) = 386 km

t (Time) = 1,5 h

v (Velocity) = ?

For calculate velocity, let's applicate formula:

$\boxed{\boxed{\textbf{d = v * t} } }$

Reeplace according we information:

386 km = v * 1,5 h

v = 386 km / 1,5 h

v = 257,33 km/h

The velocity of the train is of <u>257,33 kilometers for hour.</u>

<u></u>

Extra:

For convert km/h to m/s, we divide the velocity of km/h for 3,6:

m/s = km/h / 3,6

Let's reeplace:

m/s = 257,33 km/h / 3,6

m/s = 71,48

¿Good Luck?

The rate (in cubic feet per hour) that a spherical snowball melts is proportional to the snowball's volume raised to the 2/3 pow

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

A 3 feet radius snowball will melt in 54 hours.

Explanation:

As we can assume that the rate of snowball takes to melt is proportional to the surface area, then the rate for a 3 feet radius will be:

T= A(3 ft)/A(1 ft) * 6 hr

A is the area of the snowballs. For a spherical geometry is computing as:

A=4.pi.R^2

Then dividing the areas:

A(3 feet)/A(1 foot) = (4 pi (3 ft)^2)/(4 pi (1 ft)^2) = (36pi ft^2)/(4pi ft^2)= 9

Finally, the rate for the 3 feet radius snowball is:

T= 9 * 6 hr = 54 hr

Unpolarizedlight of intensity I_0 is incident on three polarizingfilters. The axis of the first is vertical, that of the secondi

Marina86 [1]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the law of Malus which describe the intensity of light passing through a polarizer. Mathematically this law can be described as:

$I = I_0 cos^2\theta$

Where,

$I_0 =$ Indicates the intensity of the light before passing through the polarizer

I = Resulting intensity

$\theta$ = Indicates the angle between the axis of the analyzer and the polarization axis of the incident light

From the law of Malus when the light passes at a vertical angle through the first polarizer its intensity is reduced by half therefore

$I_1= \frac{I_0}{2}$

In the case of the second polarizer the angle is directly 60 degrees therefore

$I_2 = I_1 cos^2\theta$

$I_2 = (\frac{I_0}{2} ) cos^2(60)$

$I_2 = 0.125I_0$

In the case of the third polarizer, the angle is reflected on the perpendicular, therefore, its angle of index would be

$\theta_3 = 90-60 = 30$

Then,

$I_3 = I_2 cos^2\theta_3$

$I_3 = 0.125I_0 cos^2 (30)$

$I_3 = 0.09375I_0$

Then the intensity at the end of the polarized lenses will be equivalent to 0.09375 of the initial intensity.

The electric field between the plates of the cathode ray tube of an older television set can be as high as 2.5x104 N/C. Determin

pentagon [3]

Answer:

(a) $F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N$

(b) $a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

Explanation:

Parameter given:

Electric field, E = $2.5 * 10^4 N/C$

(a) Electric force is given (in terms of electric field) as a product of electric charge and electric field.

Mathematically:

$F = qE$

Electric charge, q, of an electron = $- 1.602 * 10^{-19} C$

$F = -1.602 * 10^{-19} * 2.5 * 10^4\\\\\\F = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N$

(b) This electrostatic force causes the electron to accelerate with an equivalent force:

F = -ma

where m = mass of an electron

a = acceleration of electron

(Note: the force is negative cos the direction of the force is opposite the direction of the electron)

Therefore:

$-ma = -4.01 * 10^{-15} N\\\\\\a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-m}$

Mass, m, of an electron = $9.11 * 10^{-31} kg$

=> $a = \frac{-4.01 * 10^{-15}}{-9.11 * 10^{-31}}\\\\\\a = 4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$

The acceleration of the electron is $4.40 * 10^{15} m/s^2$
