A hammer strikes one end of a thick iron rail of length 8.80 m. A microphone located at the opposite end of the rail detects two

pulses of sound, one that travels through the air and a longitudinal wave that travels through the rail. (The speeds of sound in air and in iron are 343 m/s and 5950 m/s, respectively.)
Required:
Find the separation in time between the arrivals of the two pulses.

Answer:

ΔT = 0.02412 s

Explanation:

We will simply calculate the time for both the waves to travel through rail distance.

FOR THE TRAVELING THROUGH RAIL:

T_{rail} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Rail}\\\\T_{rail} = \frac{8.8\ m}{5950\ m/s}\\\\T_{rail} = 0.00148\ s

FOR THE WAVE TRAVELING THROUGH AIR:

T_{air} = \frac{Distance}{Speed\ of\ Sound\ in\ Air}\\\\T_{air} = \frac{8.8\ m}{343\ m/s}\\\\T_{air} = 0.0256\ s

The separation in time between two pulses can now be given as follows:

\Delta T = T_{air}-T_{rail} \\\Delta T = 0.0256\ s - 0.00148\ s\\

<u>ΔT = 0.02412 s</u>

Can you change the weight of something without changing the mass?
svlad2 [7]

yes because your mass doesn't change but your weight can


ex- if you travel to Saturn your weight would change but your mass would stay the same

pentagon [3]
His power output was 3 Watt (360 Joule/120 seconds). The power output can be calculated by dividing the quantity of work by the amount of second needed for the activity and also by multiplying the force amount with the velocity of the activity. The power output usually used for measuring the ability of machine for doing its job.

Consider a series RLC circuit where R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF. However, the inductance L of the inductor is unknown. To find its
sashaice [31]

Answer:

L= 0.059 mH

Explanation:

Given that

R = 855 Ω and C = 6.25 μF

V= 84 V

Frequency

ω = 51900 1/s

We know that

\omega=\sqrt{\dfrac{1}{LC}}

L=Inductance

C=Capacitance

ω =angular Frequency

ω² L C =1

(51900)² x L x 6.25 x 10⁻⁶ = 1

L= 5.99 x 10⁻⁵ H

L= 0.059 mH

Explain in details the concept of economic geography​
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

In the words of Hartshorn and Alexander: “Economic Geography is the study of the spatial variation on the earth’s surface of activities related to producing, exchanging and consuming goods and services. Whenever possible the goal is to develop generalizations and theories to account for these spatial variations.”
