3 0

Answer:

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Distance = 1.65km to meters = 1.65 * 1000 = 1650 meters

We know that the speed of sound in steel is equal to 5200m/s

To find the time to hear the sound of the whistle;

Time = distance/speed

Substituting into the equation, we have

Time = 1650/5200

Time = 0.317 seconds.

Therefore, it will take him 0.317 seconds to hear the sound of the whistle.

Based on the information in the graph, which atom listed below is the most stable?
puteri [66]
Iron-56 has the greatest binding energy per nucleon while Hydrogen-3 has the lowest based on the information in the graph of average binding energy per nucleon against number of nucleons in nucleus. We know that the the greater the amount of binding energy per nucleon the greater the nuclear stability is, thus Iron-56 is the most stable atom among Helium-4, Uranium-238 and Hydrogen-3.

According to Boyle’s law, the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to its pressure if the _____.
muminat

Answer: temperature and number of particles are constant

Explanation:

In 1662, Robert Boyle put forth a theory that the volume of a gas will be inversely proportional to the pressure it exerts so long as the temperature is constant and the number of particles or mass is constant as well.

This means that at a constant temperature, the higher the volume of a gas, the less pressure it exerts which makes sense because more volume means that the gas particles are more dispersed which means that they would only be able to apply minimal pressure wherever they are because the particles are not numerous enough to have much effect.

At a time when mining asteroids has become feasible, astronauts have connected a line between their 3740-kg space tug and a 5690
Gwar [14]

Answer:

61.4 s

Explanation:

The distance d₁ traveled by the asteroid:

d_1=\frac{1}{2}a_1t^2

The distance d₂ traveled by the space ship:

d_2=\frac{1}{2}a_2t^2

The total distance d:

d=d_1+d_2=\frac{1}{2}(a_1+a_2)t^2

Solving for time t:

t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a_1+a_2}}=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{F(\frac{1}{m_1}+\frac{1}{m_2})}}=\sqrt{\frac{2dm_1m_2}{F(m_1+m_2)}}
