Two trains run in the same direction. The one behind has double the length of the one ahead. The initial distance of separation

= 200 m. The speeds are(a) train in front = 36 km/h(b) train behind = 108 km/h. If it took 40 seconds for the longer train to overtake the shorter one , find the length of the shorter train.

Answer:

The shorter train has a length of 600m

Explanation:

The equation of motion of the first train can be written as:

x'=v't  (1)

v' = 108km/h = 30m/s

Furthermore, you can write the equation of motion of the second train as:

x=(200+l)+vt  = xo + vt  (2)

v = 36km/h = 10m/s

where you have taken the initial position as measured from the front of the first train to the front of the second one. l is the length of the second train and 200 the separation of it respect to the first train.

For t = 40 both trains have the same position, that is, x=x'. Then, you equal equations (1) and (2), replace t=40, and solve the equation for l:

x'=x\\\\v't=200+l+vt\\\\(30m/s)(40s)=200+l+(10m/s)(40s)\\\\l=600m

Hence, the first train has a length of 600 m

The train behind, or the second train, has twice the length of the first train:

l'=2l=2(600m)=1200m

The shorter train has a length of 600m

A proton and an electron are moving in the +x direction in a magnetic field in the +z
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a moving charge is given by the following relation

F = q ( v x B )

for proton

q = e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = e ( vi x Bk )

= Bev - j

= - Bevj

The direction of force is along negative of y axis or -y - axis.

for electron

q = - e  ,   v = vi  , B = Bk

F = - e ( vi x Bk )

= - Bev - j

=  Bevj

The direction of force is along positive  of y axis or + y - axis.

Suppose you illuminate two thin slits by monochromatic coherent light in air and find that they produce their first interference
strojnjashka [21]

Answer:

1.7323

Explanation:

To develop this problem, it is necessary to apply the concepts related to refractive indices and Snell's law.

From the data given we have to:

n_{air}=1

\theta_{liquid} = 19.38\°

\theta_{air}35.09\°

Where n means the index of refraction.

We need to calculate the index of refraction of the liquid, then applying Snell's law we have:

n_1sin\theta_1 = n_2sin\theta_2

n_{air}sin\theta_{air} = n_{liquid}sin\theta_{liquid}

n_{liquid} = \frac{n_{air}sin\theta_{air}}{sin\theta_{liquid}}

Replacing the values we have:

n_{liquid}=\frac{(1)sin(35.09)}{sin(19.38)}

n_liquid = 1.7323

Therefore the refractive index for the liquid is 1.7323
