A 17-car train standing on the siding is started in motion by the train’s engine. 9 cm slack is between each of the cars, which

are 9 m long. The engine is tightly connected to the first car and moves at a constant speed of 36 cm/s. How much time is required for the pulse to travel the length of the train? Answer in units of s.

Answer:

4 seconds

Explanation:

There are links between cars, they are in between

1-2, 2-3, 3-4, 4-5, 5-6, 6-7, 7-8, 8-9, 9-10, 10-11, 11-12, 12-13, 13-14, 14-15, 15-16, 16-17.

Here 1 represents the first car which is firmly attached to the engine. So, there are 16 links and each link has a slack of 9 m.

So, total slack

9×16 = 144 cm

Speed of train = 36 cm/s

\text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{Length}{speed}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=\frac{144}{36}\\\Rightarrow \text{Time taken by the pulse}=4\ s

Time taken by the pulse to travel the length of train is 4 seconds.

#3: a container has the dimensions of 30 cm x 50 mm x 0.2 m. the density of its contents is 2.5 g/cm3. what is the mass of the s
WARRIOR [948]
Good afternoon!

We calculate the volume of the container in cm³. To do that, we must put the units in cm:

30 cm → 30 cm
50 mm → 5 cm
0.2 m → 20 cm

The volume is:

V = 30 . 5 . 20

V = 3000 cm³

Now, we calculate the mas with the formula:

m = dV

m = 2.5 · 3000

m = 7500 g

Dividing by 1000, we have the mass in kg:


m = 7.5 kg
