Answer:

Explanation:

A positive v time graph is a velocity graph. If the position/time is negative, then the slope of the line is negative. If the line is indicative of the velocity, which it is, that means that the velocity is negative (decreasing). The first choice is the one you want.

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

Here,

$f_0$ = Frequency of Source

$v_s$ = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

$f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})$

$300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})$

$(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0$

Now the second expression will be,

$f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})$

$290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})$

$290*343-145v = 343f_0$

Dividing the two expression we have,

$\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1$

Solving for v, we have,

$v = 22.12m/s$

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s

Gravity and magnetism are both

Answer:

Explanation:

You have to read this carefully enough that you don't mix up energy and forces.

Gravity is a force. If you don't believe me try jumping off a building. Which way are you going to go and why? Down because gravity attracts your mass.

So Magnetism must be a force as well. It acts in one direction, but not a specific one the way gravity acts). It also either attracts or repulses (pushes an object away)

The half-life of Co-55 is 175 hours. How much of a 4000 g of Cobalt-55 sample would be left after 525 hours?

Harrizon [31]

We know that whatever amount we start with, half of it decays and forms atoms of other elements in 175 hours. So in order to figure out how much is left after 525 hours, we'll need to know how many half-lifes pass in that amount of time.

Well, (525 divided by 175) is exactly 3 half-lifes. So this will be easy.

-- After 1 half-life . . .

. . . . . 50% decays, 50% is still there.

-- After the 2nd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 50%) = another 25% decays, 25% is left.

-- After the 3rd half-life . . .

. . . . . (half of the leftover 25%) = another 12.5% decays, 12.5% is left.

12.5% of 4,000g = (0.125 x 4,000g) = 500 g .

============================================

Another way:

After 1 half-life, 1/2 is left.

After 2 half-lifes, 1/4 is left.

After 3 half-lifes, 1/8 is left.

1/8 of 4,000g = (4,000g/8) = 500 g .
