7. A locomotive is pulling 19 freight cars, each of which is loaded with the same amount of weight. The mass of each freight car

(with its load) is 37,000 kg. If the train is accelerating at 0.22m/s2 on a level track, what is the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars

Answer:

N 138380

Explanation:

Force = ma where m is the mass in kg and a is acceleration

the locomotive is pulling 19 freight cars mass of each car is 37 000 kg

the train accelerating at 0.22 m/s²

the tension in the coupling between the second and third cars = the tension between the second and third cars pulling the third car to the 19 th car = 17 × 37000 kg × 0.22 m/s² = N 138380

A weight lifter lifts a 345 N set of weights from ground level to a position over his head, a vertical distance of 1.89 m. How m

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:652.05 J

Explanation:

Given

Weight of lifter $W=345 N$

vertical distance move $h=1.89 m$

Work done in lifting the weight is equal change in Potential Energy of weight

Change in Potential Energy $=m g h$

$\Delta PE=345 \times 1.89=652.05 J$

therefore work done is equal to $652.05 J$

Gas and oil from the dead creatures, the gas, and oil are trapped under layers of rock

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

Gas is on top of oil

Explanation:

Gas is less dense ( smaller density ) than oil which is more dense. Since density is directly proportional to mass and inversely proportional to volume, gas will occupy a larger space than oil.

The larger space occupied is the space above the mixture of oil and gas, hence gas is above oil

The electrons involved in the formation of a chemical bond are called

tatiyna

Answer: Valence electrons

Valence electrons are those that are in the outermost or superficial layer of the atom, which means they have the highest energy compared to those of the inner layers.

Because of their position, it is easier for these electrons to interact with other atoms of their own element as well as different elements. This is done through the process of forming bonds when being attracted by other atoms.

Calculate the wavelength of each frequency of electromagnetic radiation: a. 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasti

Natalka [10]

Answer:

a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)

The wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)

The wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication)

The wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.

Explanation:

The wavelength can be determined by the following equation:

$c = \lambda \cdot \nu$ (1)

Where c is the speed of light, $\lambda$ is the wavelength and $\nu$ is the frequency.

Notice that since it is electromagnetic radiation, equation 1 can be used. Remember that light propagates in the form of an electromagnetic wave.

<em>a). 100.2 MHz (typical frequency for FM radio broadcasting)</em>

Then, $\lambda$ can be isolated from equation 1:

$\lambda = \frac{c}{\nu}$ (2)

since the value of c is $3x10^{8}m/s$ . It is necessary to express the frequency in units of hertz.

$\nu = 100.2 MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $100200000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 100200000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{100200000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 2.99 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 100.2 Mhz is 2.99m.

<em>b. 1070 kHz (typical frequency for AM radio broadcasting) (assume four significant figures)</em>

<em> </em>

$\nu = 1070kHz . \frac{1000Hz}{1kHz}$ ⇒ $1070000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 1070000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{1070000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 280.3 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 1070 khz is 280.3 m.

<em>c. 835.6 MHz (common frequency used for cell phone communication) </em>

$\nu = 835.6MHz . \frac{1x10^{6}Hz}{1MHz}$ ⇒ $835600000Hz$

But $1Hz = s^{-1}$

$\nu = 835600000s^{-1}$

Finally, equation 2 can be used:

$\lambda = \frac{3x10^{8}m/s}{835600000s^{-1}}$

$\lambda = 0.35 m$

Hence, the wavelength of a frequency of 835.6 Mhz is 0.35m.
