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.

What is the gpe of a 200 kg hot air ballon 21,000 m above the ground?
stiv31 [10]

gravitational Potential energy is given by

GPE = mgh

here we have

m = 200 kg

h = 21000 m

now we will have

GPE = 200(9.8)(21000)

GPE = 4.116 \times 10^7 J

so GPE of balloon will be 41160000 J above the given height from ground

The heat flux that is applied to one face of a plane wall is q″ = 20 W/m2. The opposite face is exposed to air at temperature 30
Blababa [14]

Answer:

400 W/m^2 and 31℃

Explanation:

The output heat flux q"= 20 W/m^2 (geven)

The output heat flux from.the wall to the air by convection

q"conv = h(ts - t∞)

q"conv = 20(50-30) = 400 W/m^2

Therefor, this case is unsteady and the wall temperature changes with time till the energy balance exist.

ENERGY BALANCE

The input energy must be equal to the output energy for steady state condition. If not the state will be unstaidy or transient.

2. Its noticed that the output heat flux is not that the I put heat flux, therefore the wall tempers will be decreased till the output heat flux is reduced to the value of the given input heat flux

T steady = T∞ +q"/h

= 30 + 20/20 = 31℃

You rapidly swirl a mixture of substances with different densities
borishaifa [10]
Having different densities being swirled rapidly will cause sedimentation. Sedimentation is the segmentation of the mixture creating layers of particles of these different densities. The process of rapid swirling is called differential centrifugation. An example use of this method is separation human blood into, red, platelet and white blood cells.
