Surface tension - My definition -

It's exactly what it says - The tension of a surface with a liquid (such as water), caused by the attraction of the surfaces layer ---- I hope this helps ---- I actually did research it and got some of this from a dictionary, but I changed some of it, too.... Sorry if this doesn't help :)

A train is traveling at a speed of 80\,\dfrac{\text{km}}{\text{h}}80 h km 80, start fraction, start text, k, m, end text, divi

trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

The distance the train travels before coming to a (complete) stop = 40/81 km which is approximately 493.83 meters

Explanation:

The initial speed of the train u = 80 km/h = 22 2/9 m/s = 22. $\bar 2$ m/s

The magnitude of the constant acceleration with which the train slows, a = 0.5 m/s²

Therefore, we have the following suitable kinematic equation of motion;

v² = u² - 2 × a × s

Where;

v = The final velocity = 0 (The train comes to a stop)

s = The distance the train travels before coming to a stop

Substituting the values gives;

0² = 22. $\bar 2$ ² - 2 × 0.5 × s

2 × 0.5 × s = 22. $\bar 2$ ²

s = 22. $\bar 2$ ²/1 = 493 67/81 m = 40/81 km

The distance the train travels before coming to a (complete) stop = 40/81 km ≈ 493.83 m.

The closest stars are 4 light years away from us. How far away must you be from a 854 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for t

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The distance from the radio station is 0.28 light years away.

Solution:

As per the question:

Distance, d = 4 ly

Frequency of the radio station, f = 854 kHz = $854\times 10^{3}\ Hz$

Power, P = 50 kW = $50\times 10^{3}\ W$

$I_{p} = 1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

Now,

From the relation:

P = nhf

where

n = no. of photons/second

h = Planck's constant

f = frequency

Now,

$n = \frac{P}{hf} = \frac{50\times 10^{3}}{6.626\times 10^{- 34}\times 854\times 10^{3}} = 8.836\times 10^{31}\ photons/s$

Area of the sphere, A = $4\pi r^{2}$

Now,

Suppose the distance from the radio station be 'r' from where the intensity of the photon is $1\ photon/s/m^{2}$

$I_{p} = \frac{n}{A} = \frac{n}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$1 = \frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi r^{2}}$

$r = \sqrt{\frac{8.836\times 10^{31}}{4\pi}} = 2.65\times 10^{15}\ m$

Now,

We know that:

1 ly = $9.4607\times 10^{15}\ m$

Thus

$r = \frac{2.65\times 10^{15}}{9.4607\times 10^{15}} = 0.28\ ly$

What is strain?

Sholpan [36]

Answer:

C) The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.

Explanation:

The formula for strain is:

Strain = Change in Length/Origin Length

Hence, it can be described as the percentile of change in the dimension with respect to the original dimension. So, whenever a tensile or a compressive force is applied on a body, its length changes. The ratio of this change to original length is called strain. So, the correct option is:

C) <u>The ratio of the change in an object's length to its original length when stretched or compressed.</u>

Phương trình chuyển động thẳng đều của một chất điểm có dạng: x = 2t – 10. (x: km, t: h). Quãng đường đi được của chất điểm sau

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Distance cover in 2 hour = 6 kilometer

Explanation:

Given equation:

x = 2t - 10

where

x = kilometer

t = hour

Find:

Distance cover in 2 hour

Computation:

T = 2

So,

x = 2t - 10

x = 2(2) - 10

x = 4 - 10

x = -6

Distance cover in 2 hour = 6 kilometer
