A 20000 kg subway train initially traveling at 18.5 m/s slows to a stop in a station and then stays there long enough for its br

akes to cool. The station's dimensions are 65.0 m long by 20.0 m wide by 12.0 m high.Assuming all the work done by the brakes in stopping the train is transferred as heat uniformly to all the air in the station, by how much does the air temperature in the station rise? Take the density of the air to be 1.20 kg/m3 and its specific heat to be 1020 J/(kg*K).

Answer:

rise the air temperature is 0.179241 K

Explanation:

Given data

mass = 20000 kg

velocity  = 18.5 m/s

long = 65 m

wide = 20 m

height = 12 m

density of the air = 1.20 kg/ m³

specific heat = 1020 J/(kg*K)

to find out

how much does the air temperature in the station rise

solution

we know here Energy lost by the train that is calculated by  

loss in the kinetic energy that is = 1/2 m v²

loss in the kinetic energy = 0.5 × 20000 ×18.5²

loss in the kinetic energy  is 3422500 J

and

this energy is used here to rise the air temperature that is KE / ( specific hat × mass )

so here  

air volume = 65 ×20×12

air volume = 15600 m³

air mass  =  ρ × V = 1.2 × 15600

air mass = 18720 kg

so

rise the air temperature = 3422500 / ( 1020 × 18720)

rise the air temperature is 0.179241 K

You used a telescope and other mathematics to discover that Jupiter is 5.20 au from the sun. Use the equation to find its orbita
meriva

Answer:

11.9 years

Explanation:

We can find the orbital period by using Kepler's third law, which states that the ratio between the square of the orbital period and the cube of the average distance of a planet from the Sun is constant for every planet orbiting aroudn the Sun:

\frac{T^2}{r^3}=const.

Using the Earth as reference, we can re-write the law as

\frac{T_e^2}{r_e^2}=\frac{T_j^2}{r_j^3}

where

Te = 1 year is the orbital period of the Earth

re = 1 AU is the average distance of the Earth from the Sun

Tj = ? is the orbital period of Jupiter

rj = 5.20 AU is the average distance of Jupiter from the Sun

Substituting the numbers and re-arranging the equation, we find:

T_j=\sqrt{\frac{T_e^2 r_j^3}{T_j^2}}=\sqrt{\frac{(1 y)^2 (5.2 AU)^3}{(1 AU)^3}}=11.9 y

n noisy factory environments, it's possible to use a loudspeaker to cancel persistent low-frequency machine noise at the positio
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

7.888m

Explanation:

Given:

frequency 'f'= 90Hz

velocity of the sound 'v' = 340 m /sec

The wavelength of the wave is given by,

λ= v/f => 340/90

λ= 3.777m

The destructive interference condition is givn by

Δd= (m+\frac{1}{2}  ) λ

where, m=0,1,2,3,..

m=0, for minimum destructive interference

Δd= (0+\frac{1}{2}  ) x 3.777

Δd=1.888

Therefore, the required distance is

d_f=d_i + Δd => 6 + 1.888

d_f= 7.888m

Thus, So the speaker should be placed at  7.888 m

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of?
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

D. Solution

Explanation:

Sugar dissolved in water is an example of solution.

A solution is a homogenous mixture of solutes and solvents.

In a solution the solute particles ae distributed uniformly in the solvents. The solute is the substance and it is the sugar here that is dissolved to make a solution.

The solvent is the water in this instance that helps to dissolve the solute.
