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.

Two masses are attracted by a gravitational force of 7 N.
damaskus [11]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: F  = 0.4375 N. The force will be 16 times lower than with the first conditions.

Explanation:

Data

F = 7 N

F = ?  if the masses is quartered

Formula

F = \frac{Km1m2}{r2}

Process

Normal conditions F = Km₁m₂/r²  = 7              

When masses quartered        F = K(m₁/4)(m₂/4)/r²  = ?

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16)/r²

                                                F = K(m₁m₂/16r²      = 7/16  = 0.4375 N

Characteristics that a scientific measuring tool should have
bixtya [17]

Answer:

RELIBILITY - is the consistency of your measurement, or the degree to which an

instrument measures the same way each time it is used under the same condition with the

same subjects. In short, it is the repeatability of your measurement. A measure is considered

reliable if a person's score on the same test given twice is similar. It is important to

remember that reliability is not measured, it is estimated. A good instrument will produce

consistent scores. An instrument’s reliability is estimated using a correlation coefficient of

one type or another.

VALIDITY

VALIDITY - Validity is the extent to which a test measures what it claims to measure. It is

vital for a test to be valid in order for the results to be accurately applied and interpreted.

Validity isn’t determined by a single statistic, but by a body of research that demonstrates

the relationship between the test and the behavior it is intended to measure. There are three

types of validity: It is the strength of our conclusions, inferences or propositions. More

formally, Cook and Campbell (1979) define it as the "best available approximation to the

truth or falsity of a given inference, proposition or conclusion."

PRACTICIBILITY

PRACTICIBILITY - It should be feasible & usable. Quality of being usable in context to the

objective to be achieved.

USABILITY

USABILITY(practicality) ease in administration, scoring, interpretation and application, low

cost, proper mechanical make – up

MEASUREABILITY

MEASUREABILITY - It should measure the objective to be achieved.

what evidence can you cite that the interstellar medium contains both gas and dust? (select all that apply.)
Basile [38]

(a) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of  wavelength 21 cm.

(b) The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.

<h3>What is interstellar medium?</h3>

Interstellar medium is the matter and radiation that exist in the space between the star systems in a galaxy.

<h3>Evidence that interstellar medium contains both gas and dust</h3>
  • The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the radiations of photons of  wavelength 21 cm.
  • The gas of interstellar medium can be detected from the absorption lines present in the light from distant stars, which must be caused by a medium of density and temperature other than that of the stars emitting the lights.

What is the heat flux (W/m^2), due to radiation heat transfer, from a black body if the surface temperature is 1000C? The convec
12345 [234]

Answer:

55000 W/m²

Explanation:

Parameters given:

Surface temperature, T = 1000°C

Hear transfer coefficient, h = 55 W/m²C

Convection heat transfer coefficient is given as:

h = Heat flux/Temperature

Hence, Heat Flux, q, is given as:

q = h * T

q = 55 * 1000 = 55000 W/m²C
