Find the acceleration of a train whose speed increases from 7m/s to 17 m/s in 120s

Initial speed of the train = 7 m/s
Final speed of the train = 17 m/s
Change of speed of the train = (17 - 7) m/s
                                               = 10 m/s
Time taken for the change of the speed of the train = 120 s
Then
Acceleration of the train = Change of speed of the train/Time taken for the change of speed
                                       = 10/120 m/s^2
                                       = 1/12 m/s^2
                                       = 0.083 m/s^2
So the acceleration of the train is 1/12 meter per second square or 0.083 m/s^2. I hope this is the answer you were looking for.

A rock falls from the top of a hill to the bottom. The total energy of the rock at the top isn’t the same as the sum of its pote
mart [117]

Answer:

A) some of the rocks energy is transformed to thermal energy

Explanation:

If we neglect air resistance during the fall of the rock, than the mechanical energy of the rock (which is sum of its potential energy and its kinetic energy) would be constant during the entire motion, so the total energy of the rock at the top would be the same as the sum of its potential energy and kinetic energy at the bottom.

However, this not occurs, due to the presence of air resistance. In fact, air resistance acts against the fall of the rock, and because of the friction between the molecules of air and the surface of the rock, the rock loses part of its energy. This energy is converted into thermal energy of the molecules of the air.

A mixture of helium and oxygen is used in scuba diving tanks to help prevent ""the bends"". 46 L helium and 12 L oxygen are comb
marin [14]

Answer

given,

For helium

Volume,V = 46 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₁ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_1 =\dfrac{46 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₁ = 1.89 moles

For oxygen

Volume,V = 12 L

Pressure,P = 1 atm

Temperature,T = 25°C  =  273 +25 = 298 K

R=0.0821 L . atm /mole.K

n₂ = ?

number of moles

we know

P V = n R T

n_2 =\dfrac{12 \times 1}{0.0821\times 298}

  n₂ = 0.49 moles

Total volume of tank = 5 L

temperature of tank = 298 K

Partial pressure of helium

P_1=\dfrac{n_1 R T}{V}

P_1=\dfrac{1.89\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

     P₁ = 9.25 atm

Partial pressure of oxygen

P_2=\dfrac{n_2 R T}{V}

P_2=\dfrac{0.49\times 0.0821\times 298}{5}

    P₂ = 2.39 atm

total pressure

    P = P₁ + P₂

    P = 9.25 + 2.39

    P = 11.64 atm

"A short-wave radio antenna is supported by two guy wires, 150 ft and 170 ft long. Each wire is attached to the top of the anten
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft

Explanation:

If you look at the attached (Fig 1) you will find that the union of antenna and its guy wires forms two right triangles. To solve problems that involve this kind of triangles, you can apply trigonometric functions (sine, cosine, etc) and Pythagoras Theorem. Trigonometric functions states the relation between angles, sides and hypotenuse of a right triangle. If you look Fig2, considering α angle, "b" is the opposite side, "a" the adjacent side and "c" the hypotenuse. Then

a) Sine (α) = b/c it means opposite side/hypotenuse

b) Cosine (α)= a/c, it means adjacent side/hypotenuse

c) Tangent (α) = b/a opposite side/adjacent side.

Pythagoras theorem states that if you called "a" and "b", the sides of the right triangle, and "c" the hypotenuse, then:

                                      a² + b² = c²    

As the problem states the lengths 150 ft and 170 ft represents the value of the hypotenuse of each triangle and 65° is one of the angles of the triangle with 150 ft hypotenuse. So you can solve this using sin (65°) to find the height of the antenna (h) and then the two distances (x and y,).

Sine (65°) = h/ 150 ft ⇒ Sine (65°) x 150ft = h ⇒ h = 127.9 ft.

To find x : Cosine (65°) = x/ 150 ft ⇒ Cosine (65°) x 150 ft = x

⇒ x = 78.37 ft.

And finally, to find y we can apply Pythagoras theorem

(170 ft)² = (127.9 ft)² + y² ⇒ y² = (170 ft)² - (127.9 ft)² ⇒ y = 111.99 ft

Summarizing, the anchor points are 78.37 ft and 111.99 ft
