A train moving at a constant speed of 50.0 km/h moves east for 45.0 min, then in a direction 45.0° east of due north for 10.0 mi

n, and then west for 55.0 min. What is the average velocity of the train during this run? (Let the +x-axis point towards the east and the +y-axis point towards the north.)l

Answer:

3.47km/h with a direction of 67.8 degrees north of west.

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the displacement on the X axis, so:

d_{x1}=50.0km/h*45min(\frac{1h}{60min})=37.5km\\d_{x2}=50.0km/h*10min(\frac{1h}{60min})*cos(45^o)=5.90km\\d_{x1}=-50.0km/h*55.0min(\frac{1h}{60min})=45.8km\\D_x=37.5+5.90-45.8=-2.4km

then on the Y axis:

D_y=50.0km/h*10min(\frac{1h}{60min})*sin(45^o)=5.90km

The magnitud of the displacement is given by:

D=\sqrt{D_x^2+D_y^2} \\D=6.37km

and the angle:

\alpha =arctg(\frac{5.90}{2.41})=67.8^o

that is 67.8 degrees north of west.

v=\frac{D}{t}\\v=\frac{6.37km}{110min*\frac{1h}{60min}}\\v=3.47km/h

You observe a distant galaxy. You find that a spectral line, resulting from an electron transition in hydrogen, is shifted from
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

The galaxy is moving away from the observer

Explanation: when a galaxy is moving away from us, the light we percieve from it is "streched". Since the wavelength has an inverse raltionship whith frequency, the longer the wavelength is, the lower the frequency. And lower frequencies correspond to red and infrarred light.

So when we see the light has shifted to the infrarred part of the spectrum, it means the source is traveling away from us, making the light waves we percieve streched and move from visible light to infrarred.

How does this diagram demonstrate the law of superposition?
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

well, as u can tell the top layer will always be the youngest layer aka the newest layer. The farther u go down the older the layers get. So the deeper u dig the farther back in time we see.

Savion listed the steps involved when nuclear power plants generate electricity.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

Reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3

Explanation:

In a nuclear power plant, we have;

1) Nuclear reaction between the radio active species and the particles takes place to generate energy in the nucleus of atoms

2) The nuclear energy in the atom is converted into radiant energy, which is the energy found in light, and thermal (heat) energy

3) The produced radiant and thermal energy is released as heat and light

4) With the produced heat, steam is generated

5) The generated steam turns the steam turbines and produced mechanical energy

6) The produced mechanical energy is then converted into electrical energy in the electrical generator of the power plant

To correct Savion's error, Step 4) the light and heat should be released before step 3) the released heat can be used to generate steam, we therefore reorder the steps so that step 4 appears before step 3.
