Answer:

From lowest to highest acceleration:

3rd train

2nd train

1st train

Explanation:

The acceleration of an object can be found by using Newton's second law:

where

a is the acceleration

F is the net force on the object

m is the mass of the object

We notice that for equal values of the forces F, the acceleration a is inversely proportional to the mass, m. Therefore, greater mass means lower acceleration, and viceversa.

So, the train with lowest acceleration is the one with largest mass, i.e. the 3rd train consisting of 50 equally loaded freight cars. Then, the 2nd train has larger acceleration, since it consists of 50 empty freight cars (so its mass is smaller). Finally, the 1st train (a single empty car) is the one with largest acceleration, since it is the train with smallest mass.

A medical cyclotron used in the production of medical isotopes accelerates protons to 6.5 MeV. The magnetic field in the cyclotr
mart [117]

Answer:

diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

Explanation:

given data

isotopes accelerates KE = 6.5 MeV

magnetic field B = 1.2 T

to find out

diameter

solution

first we find velocity from kinetic energy equation

KE = 1/2 × m×v²   ........1

6.5 × 1.6 × 10^{-19} = 1/2 × 1.672 × 10^{-27} ×v²

v = 3.5 × 10^{7} m/s

so

radius will be

radius = \frac{m*v}{B*q}   ........2

radius =  \frac{1.672*10^{-27}*3.5*10^{7}}{1.2*1.6*10^{-19}}  

radius = 0.30

so diameter = 2 × 0.30

so diameter of largest orbit is 0.60 m

Is is false or true The closer objects are, the stronger the gravitational force between them.
____ [38]

Answer:

<em>TRUE</em>

Explanation:

The gravitational force between two objects becomes<u><em> weaker</em></u><em> if the two objects are </em><u><em>moved apart</em></u> and <em>stronger</em><em> if they are brought </em><em>closer</em><em> together</em>; that is, the force depends on the distance between the objects

Sound travels slowest through gas because the atoms in a gas are further apart than the other states of matter.
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

false

Explanation:

If they were farther apart they would be able to slip by through which means that it can go by faster. If the atoms where closer together then yes they would be able to go by slower.

A circular coil 14.0 cm in diameter and containing nine loops lies flat on the ground. The Earth's magnetic field at this locati
sp2606 [1]

Answer:

a)T = 2.9*10^{-5} N-m

b) north edge will rise up

Explanation:

torque on the coil is given as

T = NIABsin\theta

where N is number of loop =  9 loops

i is current = 7.80 A

-B -earth magnetic field = 5.00*10^{-5} T

A- area of circular coil

A = \frac{\pi d^{2}}{4}

A =\frac{\pi .14^{2}}{4}

A =0.015 m2

PUTITNG ALL VALUE TO GET TORQUE

T = 9*7.8*0.015*5*10^{-5} sin{90-56}

T = 2.9*10^{-5} N-m

b) north edge will rise up

Possibly the third one down. I don't think that DNA was around in Crippen's time. I'm not a criminologist or associated fun and games, though.
