A train traveled 280km in 3.5 hours. what was the average speed in m/s?

A goose with a mass of 2.0 kg strikes a commercial airliner with a mass of 160,000 kg head-on. Before the collision, the goose w

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

Explanation:

Given;

mass of goose, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of commercial airliner, m₂ = 160,000 kg

initial velocity of the bird, u₁ = 60 km/hr = 16.667 m/s

initial velocity of the airliner, u₂ = 870 km/hr = 241.667 m/s

Change in momentum is given as;

ΔP = mv - mu

where;

u is the initial velocity of the bird

v is the final velocity of the bird

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

where;

v is the final velocity of bird and airliner after collision;

(2 x 16.667) + (160,000 x 241.667) = v (2 + 160,000)

38,666,753.334 = 160,002v

v = 38,666,753.334 / 160,002

v = 241.664 m/s

Thus, the final velocity of the bird is negligible compared to final velocity of the airliner.

ΔP = mv - mu

ΔP = m(v - u)

ΔP = 2(0 - 16.667)

ΔP = -33.334 m/s

The negative sign implies a deceleration of the bird after the impact.

Therefore, the change in momentum of the goose during this interaction is 33.334 m/s

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

The energy of a photon is given by the equation $E_p=h f$ , where h is the <em>Planck constant</em> and f the frequency of the photon. Thus, N photons of frequency f will give an energy of $E_N=N h f$ .

We also know that frequency and wavelength are related by $f=\frac{c}{\lambda}$ , so we have $E_N=\frac{N h c}{\lambda}$ , where c is the <em>speed of light</em>.

We will want the number of photons, so we can write

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}$

We need to know then how much energy do we have to calculate N. The equation of power is $P=E/t$ , so for the power we have and considering 1 second we can calculate the total energy, and then only consider the 4% of it which will produce light, or better said, the N photons, which means it will be $E_N$ .

Putting this paragraph in equations:

$E_N=(\frac{4}{100})E=0.04Pt=(0.04)(100W)(1s)=4J$ .

And then we can substitute everything in our equation for number of photons, in S.I. and getting the values of constants from tables:

$N=\frac{\lambda E_N}{h c}=\frac{(520 \times10^{-9}m) (4J)}{(6.626\times10^{-34}Js) (299792458m/s)}=1.047 \times10^{19}$

a coil of 40 henry inductance is connected in series with aresistance of 8ohm and the combination is joined to the terminals of

Andreyy89

Answer: 5 seconds

Explanation:

Given the following :

Inductance (L) = 40 henry

Resistance = 8 ohms

The circuit given above is a Resistor - Inductor (RL) circuit network. The time constant of an RL circuit is the ratio of the circuit Inductance (L) and Resistance (R). Time constant is measured in seconds.

THAT IS;

Time constant = L / R

THEREFORE ;

Time constant = 40 / 8

Time constant = 5 seconds
