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

The motor in a refrigerator has a power output of 400 W. If the freezing compartment is at 273 K and the outside air is at 306 K
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:15,883.63 KJ

Explanation:

Given

Power=400 W

Freezing compartment temperature is 273 K(T_L)

Outside air Temperature=306 K(T_H)

Time =80 minutes

Energy Required to deliver 400 w power in 80 minutes

E=1920 KJ

and we know COP of refrigerator is given by

COP=\frac{T_L}{T_H-T_L}=\frac{Desired\ effect}{Work}

\frac{273}{306-273}=\frac{D.E.}{1920}

D.E.=8.27\times 1920=15883.63 KJ

Therefore 15,883.63 KJ is removed in 80 minutes

How does inertia affect the motion of an object?
Furkat [3]

<u>Inertia affects the motion of an object as follows:</u>

When an object is in motion, it will continue to be in the same state unless otherwise some outside force is being applied to it. Thus, inertia affects the motion of an object. It restricts some other force being acted upon the object.

But mass of an object is directly proportional to inertia. So when the inertia is more on an object, it means that the object has more mass. For example, if there are two similar bricks, one that is made up of mortar and the other one is made of Styrofoam.

To identify which brick is made of Styrofoam without lifting the bricks, push both the bricks with equal force, the one that has less resistance tends to move faster. This means that it has less inertia and hence less mass.

1. How far away must you be from a 675 kHz radio station with power 50.0 kW for there to be only one photon per second per squar
goldenfox [79]

a) 0.321 ly

b) 0.321 light years is not far in astronomical terms. Alien life would need to transmit at tremendous power in order for their radio transmissions to be detectable. Their radio signal also needs to be stronger than background noise in order to be distinguishable. Therefore it is unlikely that radio transmissions from alien life will ever be detected.
