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.

The key to making a concise mathematical definition of escape velocity is to consider the energy. If an object is launched at it
aleksklad [387]

Answer:

The total Mechanical energy will be zero

Explanation: Escape velocity is the velocity required by a free object in order to overcome the impact of the force of gravity. The total mechanical energy of an object is the total energy possessed by an object which includes its kinectic and potential energy.

since the object is moving at an escape velocity which is 11.2m/s the object will be assumed to be weightless

Etotal = kinetic energy + potential energy

kinetic energy= 1/2*M*V*V

Potential energy=MGH

Etotal=1/2*0*11.2*11.2+0*0*0

Etotal=0+0

Etotal=0.

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Explanation:

When one coulomb charge passes through any cross section of the wire per second,the current passing is one ampere. Charge of electron ,e=1.6X10^-19C. n=1/(1.6X10^-19)=6.25X10^18.Sep 17, 2017

A mass spectrometer applies a voltage of 2.00 kV to accelerate a singly charged positive ion. A magnetic field of B = 0.400 T th
N76 [4]

The mass of the ion is 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg

<u>Explanation:</u>

The electrical energy given to the ion Vq will be changed into kinetic energy \frac{1}{2}mv^2

As the ion moves with velocity v in a magnetic field B then the magnetic Lorentz force Bqv will be balanced by centrifugal force \frac{mv^2}{r}.

So,

Vq = \frac{1}{2}mv^2

and

Bqv = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Right from these eliminating v, we can derive

m = \frac{B^2r^2q}{2V}

On substituting the value, we get:

m = \frac{(0.4)^2X (0.305)^2 X1.602X 10^-^1^9}{2X 2000}\\\\

m = 5.96 X 10⁻²⁵ kg.
