In old times, before there were train signals, people who worked on the railroad would often put their ear down to the train tra

ck to listen for an oncoming train. Why would this result in hearing the train further off than just listening for the train through the air? Question 3 options: Sound travels slower in air because there are often trees and other items blocking the sound. People did not do this because sound travels faster through less dense material, like air, rather than more dense materiel, like train tracks. Sound travels slower, but louder through solid material because it is more dense, so the train could be heard better this way. Sound waves travel faster in more dense material, and the more dense the material the faster the sound is.

HURRY I NEED IT NOW What is the density at 20oC of 12.0 milliliters of a liquid that has a mass of 4.05 grams?
zzz [600]

Density is the mass per unit volume of any object. It is calculated by dividing the mass of an object by its volume. This is:

ρ = m/V

ρ = 4.05 g  / 12 mL

ρ = 0.3375 g/mL

<h3>ρ ≅ 0.338 g/mL</h3>

OPTION A

Carrie is driving a car. Which factors determine the kinetic energy of her car<br> at this point
Valentin [98]

Answer:

The two main factors that affect kinetic energy are mass and speed.

Explanation:

Kinetic energy is the energy that is caused by the motion. The kinetic energy of an object is the energy or force that the object has due to its motion. Your moving vehicle has kinetic energy; as you increase your vehicle's speed, your vehicle's kinetic energy increases.

Have a great day! :D

How to do this, i'm completely lost

There are two torques t1 and t2 on the beam due to the weights, one torque t3 due to the weight of the beam, and one torque t4 due to the string.

You need to figure out t4 to know the tension in the string.

Since the whole thing is not moving t1 + t2 + t3 = t4.

torque t = r * F * sinФ = distance from axis of rotation * force * sin (∡ between r and F)

t1 =3.2 * 44g 
t2 = 7 * 49g 
t3 = 3.5 * 24g 

t4 = t1 + t2 + t3 = 5570,118

The t4 also is given by:

t4 = r * T * sin Ф

r = 7
Ф = 32°
T: tension in the string

T = t4 / (r * sinФ)

T = t4 / (7 * sin(32°)) 

T = 1501,6 N
