On May 26, 1934, a streamlined, stainless steel diesel train called the Zephyr set the world’s nonstop long-distance speed recor

d for trains. Its run from Denver to Chicago took 13 hours, 4 minutes, 58 seconds, and was witnessed by more than a million people along the route. The total distance traveled was 1633.8 km. What was its average speed in km/h and m/s?

Answer:

124.88 km/h

34.69 m/s

Explanation:

1633.8 km = 1633800 m

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13 + 4/60 + 58/3600 = 13.083 hours

13 hours 4 minutes 58 seconds = 13*3600 + 4*60 + 58 = 47098 seconds

So the average speed in km/h is

1633.8 / 13.083 = 124.88 km/h

The average speed in m/s is

1633800 / 47098 = 34.69 m/s

Consider an electron that is 10-10 m from an alpha particle (9 = 3.2 x 10-19 C). (Enter the magnitudes.) (a) What is the electri
Studentka2010 [4]

Answer:

a)E=2.88*10^{11}N/C

b)E=1.44*10^{11}N/C

c)F=4.61*10^{-8}N

Explanation:

We use the definition of a electric field produced by a point charge:

E=k*q/r^2

<u>a)Electric Field  due to the alpha particle:</u>

E=k*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=2.88*10^{11}N/C

<u>b)Electric Field  due to electron:</u>

E=k*q_{electron}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=1.44*10^{11}N/C

<u>c)Electric Force on the alpha particle, on the electron:</u>

The alpha particle and electron feel the same force but with opposite direction:

F=k*q_{electron}*q_{alpha}/r^2=9*10^9*1.6*10^{-19}*3.2*10^{-19}/(10^{-10})^2=4.61*10^{-8}N

g Suppose you're on a hot air balloon ride, carrying a buzzer that emits a sound of frequency f. If you accidentally drop the bu
dlinn [17]

Answer:

the observed frequency will reduce but the wavelength will increase

Explanation:

As we know

fo = fs (v/(v-vs))

fo = observed frequency

vs = velocity of source

As per this equation,  

When an observer moves away from the stationary source, the observed frequency reduces. Since the observer in the balloon is moving away from the source which itself is moving in opposite direction, the observed frequency will reduce.  

Since wavelength = V/fs . The source frequency is unchanged but the velocity is increasing as it is moving in downward direction. Hence, the wavelength will increase

100 points! please help!!!
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

A plane flies due north (90° from east) with a velocity of 100 km/h for 2 hours.

With no wind, it will be 100*2 = 200 km north of its starting point.

But a steady wind blows southeast at 30 km/h at an angle of 315° from due east.

So the wind itself will blow the plane 30*2 = 60km at an angle of 315° from due east.

That is the same as 60*cos315° = 42.43km due east and 60*sin315° = -42.43km north.

Combining, the plane is at 42.43km due east and 200-42.43 = 157.57km due north from its starting point.

Tanya [424]

Answer:

a) 5.5×10^17 Hz

b) visible light

Explanation:

Since the wavelength of the electromagnetic radiation must be about the size of the about itself, this implies that;

λ= 5.5 × 10^-10 m

Since;

c= λ f and c= 3×10^8 ms-1

f= c/λ

f= 3×10^8/5.5 × 10^-10

f= 5.5×10^17 Hz

The electromagnetic wave is visible light
