Answer:

2.5 kg

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using Newton's second law:

$F=ma$

where

F is the net force acting on the train

m is the mass of the train

a is the acceleration

For the toy train in the problem,

F = 3.0 N

a = 1.2 m/s^2

So we can solve the formula for m, to find the mass of the train:

$m=\frac{F}{a}=\frac{3.0 N}{1.2 m/s^2}=2.5 kg$

Answer:

If a chord had notes with frequencies of 100, 1,000, and 6,000 Hz, the basilar membran would vibrate at multiple positions, with peaks at A, B, and C.

The total resistance of a 15-ohm, an 65-ohm and a 35-ohm resistor connected in parallel

yanalaym [24]

Answer:

I think its 9.0397 Ohms

Explanation:

take the reciprocal of all the resistances: 1/15, 1/65, 1/35

then add them: = 151/1365

then reciprocal the answer: =1365/151

And chuck it on a calculator: =9.04 Ohms

I think this is right but I'm not entirely sure. Tell me if I'm right by the way!

The 1.19 kg head of a hammer has a speed of 8.4 m/s just before it strikes a nail (Fig. 14-13) and is brought to rest. Estimate

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The temperature rise is $143.9\ K$ .

Explanation:

Given the mass of the hammer $(m)$ is 1.19 kg.

And the speed of the hammer $(v)$ is 8.4 m/s.

We need to find the temperature change of iron nail having 20 hammer blows.

First, we will find the kinetic energy of the each blow of hammer.

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

$K.E=\frac{1}{2}\times 1.19\times 8.4^2=41.99\ J$

For 20 such blows, the kinetic energy will be

$20\times K.E=20\times 41.99=839.8\ J$

Let us assume that the nail absorbs all the kinetic energy. So, this 839.8 J will be converted into heat energy $(Q)$ .

Now,

$Q=839.8\ J$

Also, we know that

$Q=mc\Delta_T$

Where,

$m$ is the mass of the nail, which is $13\ g=\frac{13}{1000}=0.013\ kg$

$c$ is the specific heat capacity of iron, which is 449 J/kg.K

$\Delta_T$ is the change in temperature.

Plug these value we get,

$Q=mc\Delta_T\\839.8\ J=(0.013\ kg)(449\ J/kg.K)\times\Delta_T\\\Delta_T=\frac{839.8}{0.013\times 449}\\\\\Delta_T=143.9\ K$

We can see the temperature rise is 143.9 K.
