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.

A tank of volume 0.25 ft is designed to contain 50 standard cubic feet of air. The temperature is 80° F.Calculate the pressure i
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

The inside Pressure of the tank is 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}

Solution:

As per the question:

Volume of tank, V = 0.25 ft^{3}

The capacity of tank, V' = 50ft^{3}

Temperature, T' = 80^{\circ}F = 299.8 K

Temperature, T = 59^{\circ}F = 288.2 K

Now, from the eqn:

PV = nRT                      (1)

Volume of the gas in the container is constant.

V = V'

Similarly,

P'V' = n'RT'                       (2)

Also,

The amount of gas is double of the first case in the cylinder then:

n' = 2n

\]frac{n'}{n} = 2

where

n and n' are the no. of moles

Now, from eqn (1) and (2):

\frac{PV}{P'V'} = \frac{nRT}{n'RT'}

P' = 2P\frac{T'}{T} = 2\times 2116\times \frac{299.8}{288.2} = 4499.12 lb/ft^{2}
