A freight train is accelerating on a level track. The tension in the coupling between the engine and the first freight car would

change if some of the cargo in the last car were transfered to other cars?

Answer:

False

Explanation:

According to Newton's 3rd law, the tension between the engine and the 1st freight cars would equals to the force required to pull all the freight cars from the 1st one on ward. In addition, Newton's 2nd law states that the F = ma, which means that force is proportional to the mass of all the freight cars, given that the freight train is accelerating. So if some of the cargo in the last car were transferred to other cars, their total mass would stay the same, and so as force F and tension.

Which wave must have a medium to travel?
o-na [289]

Letter B

without a medium, there is nothing to compress, hence, no wave. A fast- medium like a gas (air) is easy to compress and allows waves to move through it easily. a slow medium, like a liquid, is still pretty fast, but not as fast as air.

The escape speed from the moon is much smaller than from earth. True or False
Lisa [10]

Answer:

True

The escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Explanation:

The escape speed is defined as:

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{2GM}{r}}  (1)

Where G is the gravitational constant, M is the mass and r is the radius.

The mass of the Earth is 5.972x10^{24}kg and its radius is 6371000m

Then, replacing those values in equation 1 it is gotten.

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(5.972x10^{24}kg)}{(6371000m)}}  

v_{e} = 11.18m/s

For the case of the Moon:

v_{e} = \sqrt{\frac{(2)(6.67x10^{-11}N.m^{2}/kg^{2})(7.347x10^{22}Kg)}{(1737000m)}}  

v_{e} = 2.38m/s

Hence, the escape speed from the Moon is much smaller than from Earth.

Since it has a smaller mass and smaller radius compared to that from the Earth.
