Railroad cars are loosely coupled so that there is a noticeable time delay from the time the first and last car is moved from re

st by the locomotive. Discuss the advisability of this loose coupling and slack between cars from the point of view of impulse and momentum.
Physics

olga nikolaevna [1]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Without this slack, a locomotive might simply sit still and spin its wheels. The loose coupling enables a longer time for the entire train to gain momentum, requiring less force of the locomotive wheels against the track. In this way, the overall required impulse is broken into a series of smaller impulses. (This loose coupling can be very important for braking as well).

How are scientists monitoring and studying the effects on the herring?
Nadusha1986 [10]

Answer:In the decades prior to 1993 there was a robust Pacific herring population in Prince William Sound (PWS). Not only are these forage fish a key link in the complex food web of PWS, but they supported a lucrative early-season commercial fishery that brought the communities of the Sound to life each spring. By 1994, that fishery was closed and only briefly reopened for two years in the late 1990s. The current, approximately 10,000-ton biomass, is tiny compared to the peak value of 130,000 tons or the long-term average prior to the collapse of around 65,000 ton.

We are going to make an imaginary engine using water. We are going to heat 100 grams of water to 120 C from its initial temperat
Svetach [21]

Answer:

The work done by this engine is 800 cal

Explanation:

Given:

100 g of water

120°C final temperature

22°C initial temperature

30°C is the temperature of condensed steam

Cw = specific heat of water = 1 cal/g °C

Cg = specific heat of steam = 0.48 cal/g °C

Lw = latent heat of vaporization = 540 cal/g

Question: How much work can be done using this engine, W = ?

First, you need to calculate the heat that it is necessary to change water to steam:

Q_{1} =m_{w} C_{w} (100-22)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)

Here, mw is the mass of water

Q_{1} =(100*1*78)+(100*540)+(100*0.48*20)=62760cal

Now, you need to calculate the heat released by the steam:

Q_{2} =m_{w}C_{g}(120-100)+m_{w}L_{w}+m_{w}C_{w}(100-30)=(100*0.48*20)+(100*540)+(100*1*70)=61960cal

The work done by this engine is the difference between both heats:

W=Q_{1}-Q_{2}=62760-61960=800cal
