Answer:

For trains the wheels and the rail are both steel, and the steel-steel friction coefficient is around 0.25. So the stopping time and distance will, at best, be three to four times greater than a car.

Answer: them things weigh tons and tons. like hundreds of tons. whenever the train is even slightly moving, the force is still so great that it makes it very difficult to stop.

Technician A says mechanical efficiency is a comparison between brake horsepower and indicated horsepower. Technician B says vol
Reil [10]

Answer:Both are correct

Explanation:

Both are correct because

Mechanical efficiency is the dimensionless term which is the ratio of brake horsepower to the Indicated horse Power

Where brake power is the Power obtained at the crankshaft  and  

Indicated horsepower is the power obtained in the combustion chamber and this power is the loss in the form of friction.    

Volumetric efficiency is the ratio of actual fuel intake to the maximum air fuel that could be taken.

NikAS [45]
<span>Temperature causes water molecules to move more quickly, because each individual molecule has more energy as it gets hotter (according to Kinetic molecular theory). If you get water hot enough, the molecules move so much that the hydrogen bonds that hold them together start to break and the water becomes a gas ... water vapor. This your answer unless there are choices.</span>

At what position in its elliptical orbit is the speed of a planet a maximum? when it is closest to the sun when it is farthest f
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

1.when it is closest to the sun

2.when it is midway between its farthest

Explanation:

According to the law of  Kepler's

T ² ∝ r³

T=Time period

r=semi major axis

We also know that time period T given as

T=\dfrac{2\pi r}{v}

v=Speed

v=\dfrac{2\pi r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v\alpha \dfrac{r}{T}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{T^2}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{r^2}{r^3}

v^2\alpha \dfrac{1}{r}

v\alpha \dfrac{1}{\sqrt{r}}

So we can say that ,when r is more then the speed will be minimum and when r is low then speed will be maximum.
