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

Answer:

Economic growth can be illustrated by:

d.  an outward shift of the production possibilities curve.

Explanation:

Economic growth is the process of increasing the economy's ability to produce goods and services. It is achieved by increasing the quantity or quality of resources.

Production Possibilities refers to the ability of a country to produce goods or services given the limited resources and technology.  It is therefore possible to increase production of both goods at the same time as long as resources allow it.

The Production Possibilities Curve, also known as the production possibilities frontier, is a graph that shows the maximum number of possible units a company can produce if it only produces two products using all of its resources efficiently. Firstly, and most commonly, growth is defined as an increase in the output that an economy produces over a period of time, the minimum being two consecutive quarters. An increase in an economy's productive potential can be shown by an outward shift in the economy's production possibility frontier (PPF).

Each point on the curve shows how much of each good will be produced when resources shift from making more of one good and less of the other. The curve measures the trade-off between producing one good versus another.PPC or production possibility curve is a curve whose basic purpose is to show the different possible combinations of two goods that can be produced within the given available resource.

The two main characteristics of PPC are: slopes downwards to the right: PPC slopes downwards from left to right. It is because in a situation of fuller utilization of the given resources, production of both the goods cannot be increased simultaneously.

A solenoid coil with 22 turns of wire is wound tightly around another coil with 340 turns. The inner solenoid is 25.0 cm long an
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

a) 1.34*10^-8 W

b) 1.18*10^-5 H

c) 20mV

Explanation:

a) To find the average magnetic flux trough the inner solenoid you the following formula:

\Phi_B=BA=\mu_oNIA

mu_o: magnetic permeability of vacuum = 4pi*10^-7 T/A

N: turns of the solenoid = 340

I: current of the inner solenoid = 0.100A

A: area of the inner solenoid = pi*r^2

r: radius of the inner solenoid = 2.00cm/2=1.00cm=10^-2m

You calculate the area and then replace the values of N, I, mu_o and A to find the magnetic flux:

A=\pi(10^{-2}m)^2=3.141510^{-4}m^2\\\Phi_B=(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(340)(0.100A)(3.1415*10^{-4}m^2)=1.34*10^{-8}W\\

the magnetic flux is 1.34*10^{-8}W

b) the mutual inductance is given by:

M=\mu_o N_1 N_2 \frac{A_2}{l}

N1: turns of the outer solenoid = 22

N2: turns of the inner solenoid

A_2: area of the inner solenoid

l: length of the solenoids = 25.0cm=0.25m

by replacing all these values you obtain:

M=(4\pi*10^{-7}T/A)(340)(22)\frac{3.14*10^{-4}m^2}{0.25m}=1.18*10^{-5}H

the mutual inductance is 1.18*10^{-5}H

c) the emf induced can be computed by using the mutual inductance and the change in the current of the inner solenoid:

\epsilon_1=M\frac{dI_2}{dt}

by replacing you obtain:

\epsilon_1=(1.18*10^{-5}H)(1700A/s)=0.02V=20mV

the emf is 20mV

If a 1-megaton nuclear weapon is exploded
Elenna [48]

Answer:

1,780,000 N

Explanation:

0.2 atm × (1.013×10⁵ Pa/atm) = 20,260 Pa

Force = pressure × area

F = 20,260 Pa × (3.89 m × 22.6 m)

F = 1,780,000 N
