A yellow train of mass 100 kg is moving at 8 m/s toward an orange train of mass 200 kg traveling in the opposite direction on th

e same track at a speed of 1 m/s. They collide and stick together! What is the final momentum of the new combined train?
A. 100 kgm/s
B. 600 kgm/s
C. 800 kgm/s

Answer:

Let the momentum of the orange train be positive

P = 100 * 8 - 200 * 1 = 600 kg-m/s

P(final) = 600 kg-m/s

P / M = 600 kg-m/sec / 300 kg = 2 m/s

Answer-B final momentum = 600 kg-m/s

An engine is used to lift a beam weighing 9,800 N up to 145 m. How much work must the engine do to lift this beam? How much work

Arturiano [62]

Explanation:

Given that,

Weight of the engine used to lift a beam, W = 9800 N

Distance, d = 145 m

Work done by the engine to lift the beam is given by :

W = F d

$W=9800\ N\times 145\ m\\\\W=1421000\ J\\\\W=1421\ kJ$

Let W' is the work must be done to lift it 290 m. It is given by :

$W'=9800\ N\times 290\ m\\\\W'=2842000\ J\\\\W'=2842\ kJ$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Why is water always used in energy generation (water -> steam -> turbine) instead of a liquid with a lower specific heat c

frez [133]

There are multiple reasons for this. First of all, water is available in almost every place on the Earth. It doesn't pollute the air, doesn't cause health use and is easily handle.

Other factor is the fact that water has a really high specific heat. This means that water, and more specifically steam, can aborb and transport more energy. A lower heat capacity would imply the need to boil more of the liquid to obtain the same amount of energy. This combine with the fact that water expands at a large rate when boiling, combine with everything mentioned previously, and you get a liquid with all the characteristics that a efficient turbine requires to work.

What is the speed of sound at 33 °C (m/s)? For a frequency of 5 kHz, how large do you expect the wavelength to be (m)?

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

-The speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

-The wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .

Explanation:

let v = 343 m/s be the speed of sound.

let T be the temperature.

then the speed of sound V, at 33°C is given by:

V = v + 0.6×T

= 343 + 0.6×33

= 362.8 m/s

Therefore, the speed of sound at 33°C is 362.8 m/s.

the wavelength at a frequency of f = 5kHz = 5000 Hz is given by:

λ = V/f

= (362.8)/(5000)

= 0.07256 m

Therefore, the wavelength at a frequency at 5 kHz is 0.07256 m .

A ship maneuvers to within 2.46×10³ m of an island’s 1.80 × 10³ m high mountain peak and fires a projectile at an enemy ship 6.1

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance of the first ship from the mountain $d=2.46\times10^{3}\ m$

Height of island $h=1.80\times10^{3}\ m$

Distance of the enemy ship from the mountain $d'=6.10\times10^{2}\ m$

Initial velocity $v=2.55\times10^{2}\ m/s$

Angle = 74.9°

We need to calculate the horizontal component of initial velocity

Using formula of horizontal component

$v_{x}=v\cos\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{x}=2.55\times10^{2}\cos74.9$

$v_{x}=66.42\ m/s$

We need to calculate the vertical component of initial velocity

Using formula of vertical component

$v_{y}=v\sin\theta$

Put the value into the formula

$v_{y}=2.55\times10^{2}\sin74.9$

$v_{y}=246.19\ m/s$

We need to calculate the time

Using formula of time

$t=\dfrac{d}{v_{x}}$

$t=\dfrac{2.46\times10^{3}}{66.42}$

$t=37.03\ sec$

We need to calculate the height of the shell on reaching the mountain

Using equation of motion

$H= v_{y}t-\dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

Put the value in the equation

$H=246.19\times37.03-\dfrac{1}{2}\times9.8\times(37.03)^2$

$H=2397.4\ m$

We need to calculate the distance close to the peak

Using formula of distance

$H'=H-h$

Put the value into the formula

$H'=2397.4-1800$

$H'=597.4\ m$

Hence, The distance close to the peak is 597.4 m.

What perspective of dream interpretation is being offered?

vitfil [10]

Psychoanalytic dream interpretation is a subdivision of dream interpretation as well as a subdivision of psychoanalysis pioneered by Sigmund Freud in the early twentieth century. Psychoanalytic dream interpretation is the process of explaining the meaning of the way the unconscious thoughts and emotions are processed in the mind during sleep.

There have been multiple methods used in psychoanalytic dream interpretation, including Freud's method of dream interpretation, the symbolic method, and the decoding method. The Freudian method is the most prominently used in psychoanalysis and has been for the last century. Psychoanalytic dream interpretation is used mainly for therapeutic purposes in a variety of settings. Although these theories are used, none have been solidly proven and much has been left open to debate among researchers. Some studies have shown that areas of dream interpretation can be invalid and therefore a decline in importance has been seen in psychoanalytic dream interpretation.
