Answer:

The train travelled 10hours.

Explanation:

Using speed= distance/time ...eq1

Let the time taken by train to cover the journey be t.

Let the speed of train be s

Time= distance/speed ...eq2

Time t =600/s ...eq3

The train is delayed for 1 1/2 hours=3/2 hours

Train increased by 15km/hr.

Train travelled 1/4 of 600k.= 150km.

Speed increased by s + 15 to cover the remaining 450km

t = 150/s + 400/(s + 15) + 3/2 ..eq4

Equating eq3 and 4

600/s= 150/s + 460/(s + 15) + 3/2

450/s = 3/2 + 450/(s + 15)

3s^2 + 45s -13500=0

Solving the quadratic equation

S= -45 +-sqrt(45^2-4(3×13500)/2×3

S= 60 , -75

Hence speed of train is 60km/hr

Using eq 2 distance/speed=time

600/60=10

t= 10hours

If Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, ________ is being
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Explanation:

A force that leads to movement of an object is known as work.

The energy present in an object due to its position in a gravitational field is known as gravitational potential energy.

Kinetic energy is the energy obtained by an object due to its motion.

For example, when Jerome is swinging on a rope then there occurs movement in the swing due to which the swing has kinetic energy.

Since, a force has been applied on the swing to make it move. Hence, a work is also done.

Therefore, we can conclude that if Jerome is swinging on a rope and transferring energy from gravitational potential energy to kinetic energy, work is being done.

Suppose you have measured the diffraction pattern of a grating with d = 0.19 mm and have found that the spots were separated by
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

d = 0.076 mm

Explanation:

Given data

diffraction pattern d1 = 0.19 mm = 0.019 cm

separated s(1)  = 1.8 cm

separated s(2) = 4.5 cm

to find out

d2 for an unknown

solution

we know here that spacing in between the diffraction fringe is always inversely proportional to diffraction grating so

we will apply here formula for unknown d that is

d1 (s1 / L) = d2 (s2 /L)

d2  = d1 ×  s(1) / s(2)

put here all thes evalue we get d2

d2  = d1 ×  s(1) / s(2)

d2  = 0.019 ×  1.8  / 4.5

d2 = 0.0076 cm

d2 = 0.076 mm

The human eye can readily detect wavelengths from about 400 nm to 700 nm. part a if white light illuminates a diffraction gratin
Lera25 [3.4K]

We are given that the wavelength ʎ is from 400 nm to 700 nm. The formula for this is:

d sin a =m * ʎ

where,

d = slit separation = 1 mm / 750 lines = 1/750

a = angle

m = 1

ʎ = 400 nm to 700 nm = 0.0004 mm to 0.0007 mm

 

Rewriting the formula in terms of angle a:

a = sin^-1 (m ʎ / d)

 

when ʎ = 0.0004 mm

a = sin^-1 (0.0004 / (1/750))

a = 17.46°

 

when ʎ = 0.0007 mm

a = sin^-1 (0.0007 / (1/750))

a = 31.67°

 

Hence the range of angles is from 17.46° to 31.67<span>°.</span>

Cousin Throckmorton is playing with the clothesline. One end of the clothesline is attached to a vertical post. Throcky holds th
Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

The  frequencies are  f_n  =  n (0.875 )

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

   The speed of the wave is  v  =  0.700 \  m/s

   The  length of vibrating  clothesline is  L  =  40.0 \  cm = 0.4 \ m

Generally the fundamental frequency is  mathematically represented as

        f =  \frac{v}{2 L  }

=>     f =  \frac{ 0.700 }{2 *  0.4   }

=>     f =  0.875 \  Hz

Now  this other frequencies of vibration experience by the clotheslines are know as harmonics and they are obtained by integer multiple of  the fundamental frequency

So  

   The  frequencies are mathematically represented as

       f_n  =  n  * f

=>     f_n  =  n (0.875 )

Where  n  =  1, 2, 3 ....
