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}

You are designing an optical fiber scope for directing light into a confined area. You want to keep light within the fiber. Base
shepuryov [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

 For entry of light into tube of unknown refractive index

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sinr = μ , μ is the refractive index of the tube , r is angle of refraction in the medium of tube

r = 90 - C where C is critical angle between μ and body medium in which tube will be inserted.

sin ( 90 - 25 ) / sin( 90 - C)  = μ

sin65 / cos C = μ

sinC = 1.33 / μ  , where 1.33 is the refractive index of body liquid.

From these equations

sin65 / cos C = 1.33 / sinC

TanC = 1.33 / sin65

TanC = 1.33 / .9063

TanC = 1.4675

C= 56°

sinC = 1.33 / μ

μ = 1.33 / sinC

= 1.33 / sin56

= 1.33 / .829

μ = 1.6   Ans

Which of the following is true about Viscosity of liquids:
White raven [17]
Viscosity of liquids is essentially the 'thickness' of the liquid. For instance, honey and water have different viscosities. Honey has a higher one and therefore, liquids with high viscosity do not flow as well as liquids with low viscosity (water).

In an RC circuit, what fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The  fraction fraction of the final energy is stored in an initially uncharged capacitor after it has been charging for 3.0 time constants is  

      k  = 0.903

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The time  constant  \tau  =  3

The potential across the capacitor can be mathematically represented as

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- \tau})

Where V_o is the voltage of the capacitor when it is fully charged

    So   at  \tau  =  3

     V  =  V_o  (1 -  e^{- 3})

     V  =  0.950213 V_o

   Generally energy stored in a capacitor is mathematically represented as

             E = \frac{1}{2 } * C  * V ^2

In this equation the energy stored is directly proportional to the the square of the potential across the capacitor

Now  since capacitance is  constant  at  \tau  =  3

        The  energy stored can be evaluated at as

         V^2 =  (0.950213 V_o )^2

       V^2 =  0.903  V_o ^2

Hence the fraction of the energy stored in an initially uncharged capacitor is  

      k  = 0.903
