A train traveled from Station A to Station B at an average speed of 80 kilometers per hour and then from Station B to Station C

at an average speed of 60 kilometers per hour. If the train did not stop at Station B, what was the average speed at which the train traveled from Station A to C?
(1) The distance that the train traveled from Station A to Station B was 4 times the distance that train traveled from Station B to Station C.
(2) The amount of time it took to the train to travel from Station A to Station B is 3 times the amount of time that it took the train to travel from Station B to Station C.

Answer:

1)

75 kmh⁻¹

2)

75 kmh⁻¹

Explanation:

1)

v_{ab} = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

d_{ab} = distance traveled from station A to station B

t_{ab} = time of travel between station A to station B

we know that

Time = \frac{distance}{speed}

t_{ab} = \frac{d_{ab}}{v_{ab}} = \frac{d_{ab}}{80}

d_{bc} = distance traveled from station B to station C

v_{bc} = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

t_{bc} = \frac{d_{bc}}{v_{bc}} = \frac{d_{bc}}{60}

Total distance traveled is given as

d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}

Total time of travel is given as

t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}

Average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{d_{ab}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }

Given that :

d_{ab} = 4 d_{bc}

So

v_{avg} = \frac{4 d_{bc} + d_{bc}}{(\frac{4 d_{bc}}{80} ) + (\frac{d_{bc}}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = \frac{4 + 1}{(\frac{4 }{80} ) + (\frac{1}{60} ) }\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}

2)

v_{ab} = Speed of train from station A to station B = 80 kmh⁻¹

t_{ab} = time of travel between station A to station B

d_{ab} = distance traveled from station A to station B

we know that

distance = (speed) (time)

d_{ab} = v_{ab} t_{ab}\\d_{ab} = 80 t_{ab}

d_{bc} = distance traveled from station B to station C

v_{bc} = Speed of train from station B to station C = 60 kmh⁻¹

t_{bc} = time of travel for train from station B to station C

we know that

distance = (speed) (time)

d_{bc} = v_{bc} t_{bc}\\d_{bc} = 60 t_{bc}

Total distance traveled is given as

d = d_{ab} + d_{bc}\\d = 80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}

Total time of travel is given as

t = t_{ab} + t_{bc}

Average speed is given as

v_{avg} = \frac{d}{t} \\v_{avg} = \frac{d_{ab} + d_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}

Given that :

t_{ab} = 3 t_{bc}

So

v_{avg} = \frac{80 t_{ab} + 60 t_{bc}}{t_{ab} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{80 (3) t_{bc} + 60 t_{bc}}{(3) t_{bc} + t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = \frac{(300) t_{bc}}{(4) t_{bc}}\\v_{avg} = 75 kmh^{-1}

The maximum wavelength For photoelectric emissions in tungsten is 230 nm. What wavelength of light must be use in order for elec
notka56 [123]

Answer:

λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm

Explanation:

First we find the work function of tungsten by using the following formula:

∅ = hc/λmax

where,

∅ = work function = ?

h = Plank's Constant = 6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s

c = speed of light = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

λmax = maximum wavelength for photoelectric emission = 230 nm

λmax = 2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m

Therefore,

∅ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(2.3 x 10⁻⁷ m)

∅ = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now we convert Kinetic Energy of electron into Joules:

K.E = (1.5 eV)(1.6 x 10⁻¹⁹ J/1 eV)

K.E = 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Now, we use Einstein's Photoelectric Equation:

Energy of Photon = ∅ + K.E

Therefore,

Energy of Photon = 8.64 x 10⁻¹⁹ J + 2.4 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

Energy of Photon = 11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J

but,

Energy of Photon = hc/λ

where,

λ = wavelength of light = ?

Therefore,

11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/λ

λ = (6.626 x 10⁻³⁴ J.s)(3 x 10⁸ m/s)/(11.04 x 10⁻¹⁹ J)

<u>λ = 1.8 x 10⁻⁷ m = 180 nm</u>

A light, flexible cable is wrapped around a solid cylinder with mass 3.3 kg and a radius of 0.8 meters. The cylinder rotates on
kari74 [83]

Answer:

9.16rad/s^2

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass,m_1=3.3 kg

Radius,r=0.8 m

m_2=4.9 kg

Height,h=2.9 m

We have to find the angular acceleration of the cylinder.

According to question

4.9g-T=4.9a

Tr=I\alpha

Where

\alpha=\frac{a}{r}

Tr=\frac{1}{2}m_1ra

T=\frac{1}{2}m_1a=\frac{1}{2}(3.3)a

Substitute the value

4.9g-\frac{1}{2}(3.3a)=4.9a

4.9\times 9.8=4.9a+\frac{3.3a}{2}

Where g=9.8 m/s^2

48.02=a(4.9+1.65)=6.55a

a=\frac{48.02}{6.55}=7.33m/s^2

Angular acceleration,\alpha=\frac{a}{r}=\frac{7.33}{0.8}=9.16rad/s^2
