A freight train leaves the train station 4hrs before a passenger train. The two trains are traveling in the same direction on pa

rallel tracks. If the rate of the passenger train is 40 mph faster than the freight train, how fast is each train traveling if the passenger train passes the freight train in 6hrs?

It can be said that most of the required information's are already given in the question. 
Let us assume the speed of the passenger train = x
Speed of the freight train = y
x = y + 40
The second equation will be 
6 * x = 10 * y
6x = 10y
Dividing both sides by 2, we get
3x = 5y
x = 5y/3
Putting the value of "x" in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
5y/3 = y + 40
5y = 3y + 120
5y - 3y = 120
2y = 120
y = 60 mph
Putting the value of y in the first equation, we get
x = y + 40
   = 60 + 40
   = 100 mph
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the passenger train is traveling at 100 mph and the freight train is traveling at 60 mph.

IgorC [24]

Answer:

Part A:

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Explanation:

Given Data:

v=20m/s

Time =t=12 hours

In Secs:

Time=12*60*60=43200 secs

Solution:

Part A:

Distance = Speed**Time

Distance=v*t

Distance= 20*43200

Distance=864000 m=864 km

Part B:

Energy Used=ΔE= Energy Required-Kinetic Energy of swans

Energy Required to move= Power Required*time

Energy Required to move=200*43200=8640000 Joules

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

K.E\ of\ Swans=\frac{1}{2} *10*(20)^2=2000\ Joules

Energy Used=ΔE=8640000 -2000

Energy Used=ΔE=8638000 Joules

Part C:

Fraction of Mass used=Δm/m

For This first calculate fraction of energy used:

Fraction of energy=ΔE/Energy required to move

ΔE is calculated in part B

Fraction of energy=8638000/8640000

Fraction of energy=0.99977

Kinetic Energy=\frac{1}{2}mv^2

Now, the relation between energies ratio and masses is:

\frac{\triangle E}{E}=\frac{\triangle m}{2m}v^2

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{v^2} *\frac{\triangle E}{E}\\\frac{\triangle m}{m}=\frac{2}{20^2} *0.99977

\frac{\triangle m}{m}=0.004998=0.49985\%

Why wil an ice cube melt if it is compressed even if it remains at the same temp
Gnoma [55]
No, it will only melt if the temperature is lowered. If you compress it, it will change the shape, but it will not change the state it is in (i.e. solid).

In odd nuclei, what determines the final spin of the nucleus?
Katen [24]

Answer:

In odd nuclei, the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin of the nucleus.

Explanation:

The meaning of odd nuclei is atomic mass is odd.

A=odd number.

A=Z+n

Here, Z is proton either it will odd or n will odd which is neutron.

Now according to the shell model the left out proton or neutron will contribute to the spin and parity.

For example,

Take the case of isotope of nitrogen-15.

Here Z is 7, and n is 8 will not contribute in spin.

Now, for Z=7.

1S^{2} _{\frac{1}{2} }, 1P^{4} _{\frac{3}{2} }, 1P^{1} _{\frac{1}{2} }

Here,

j=\frac{1}{2}

and, L=1.

Fort parity,

(-1)^{L}

Put the value of L.

Parity will be -1.

Now, spin will be

S=(\frac{1}{2} )^{-1}.
