Two trains, each having a speed of 33 km/h, are headed at each other on the same straight track. A bird that can fly 60 km/h fli

es off the front of on train when they are 60 km apart and heads directly for the other train. On reaching the other train, the (crazy) bird flies directly back to the first train, and so forth. What is the total distance the bird travels before the trains collide?

Answer:

66 km

Explanation:

Given that:

The speed of the two trains = 33 km/h

The speed of the bird = 60 km/h

The distance apart between the two trains = 60 km

From the given information, we are being told that the two trains are going at the same speed. Therefore, they will definitely collide at 30 km

We know that:

speed of the train = distance traveled × time

Making the time t the subject of the formula:

time = speed of the train / distance traveled

time = 30 km / 33 km/h

time = 0.909 / hr

Thus, the bird flying at a given speed of 60 km/h in a time of 0.909 / hr will cover a total distance of :

distance (d) = speed of the bird/ time

distance (d) = $\dfrac{60 \ km/hr}{0.909 \ /hr}$

distance (d) = 66 km

When the liquid line is restricted, the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced. What is the effect on suction p

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The suction pressure decreases and the superheat increases when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced.

Explanation:

1. The five components of refrigeration are:

Fluid refrigerant
Compressor
Condenser coil
Evaporator coil
Expansion device.

The compressor limits the vapor released by the refrigerant. This

causes a rise in pressure (in refrigerant), which then pushes the

vapor into the coils on the outside of the refrigerator.

2. Now when the cooler air meets the warm gas present in the coils, it

gets converted into liquid form.

3. Thus, when the liquid form is at high pressure, the refrigerant then

cools down as it flows through the coils placed in the fridge ( in both

freezing and normal sections).

4. The refrigerant also absorbs the warm air present in the fridge, which

causes it to evaporate and flow back through the compressor and the

cycle repeats in the same form.

Thus, when the liquid line is restricted and the supply of refrigerant to the metering device is reduced it causes a decrease in suction pressure and an increase in superheat.

You are standing next to a table and looking down on a record player sitting on the table. Take the spindle (axis of rotation) t

VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

a) the rotational speed of the clay is 3.45 rad/s

b) the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

c) the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

Explanation:

Given that;

Revolution per minute rpm = 33( 1/3) = 100/3

The frequency f = 100 / 3(60) = 0.55 Hz

a)

Rotational speed W = 2πf

we substitute

W = 2π × 0.55

W = 3.45 rad/s

Therefore, the rotational speed of the clay is 3.45 rad/s

b)

given equation; y(t)=Asin(ωt+ϕi)

given that radius = 0.15 m

y(t)=(0.2)sin(ωt+ϕi)

Therefore, the value of A in the equation of motion is 0.15 m

c)

since y(t) has the maximum value at t =0

so at t=0

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(ϕi)

this will give maximum value when ϕi = 90°

so

y(0) = (0.15)sin(ω(0)+ϕi)

= 0.15sin(90°)

= 0.15

hence, the value of ϕi is 90° or π/2 rad.

Standing waves can ruin the acoustics of a concert hall if there is excessive reflection of the sound waves that the performers

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

The answer to the questions is;

In terms of standing waves, the listener moves from a location with high amplitude to one with lower amplitude or vibration (anti-node to node)

The distance 4.1 cm is equivalent to λ/4

Explanation:

For standing waves we have is a stationary wave comprising of two opposite direction moving waves that have equal amplitude and frequency, resulting in the superimposition of the waves. As such certain points are fixed along the wave path that is the peaks amplitude of the wave oscillation is constant at a particular point. A node occurring at a point and an anti-node occurring at another fixed point

When the listener moves 4.1 cm he or she has left the anti-node to the node hence the faintness of the sound

The distance from the node to the anti-node is 1/4 wavelength, or 1/4×λ

Therefore 4.1 cm is λ/4

A simple pendulum consisting of a bob of mass m attached to a string of length L swings with a period T. If the pendulum is take

Juli2301 [7.4K]

To solve this problem we will use the definition of the period in a simple pendulum, which warns that it is dependent on its length and gravity as follows:

$T =2\pi \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Here,

L = Length

g = Acceleration due to gravity

We can realize that $2 \pi$ is a constant so it is proportional to the square root of its length over its gravity,

$T \propto \sqrt{\frac{L}{g}}$

Since the body is in constant free fall, that is, a point where gravity tends to be zero:

$g \rightarrow 0 \Rightarrow T \rightarrow \infty$

The value of the period will tend to infinity. This indicates that the pendulum will no longer oscillate because both the pendulum and the point to which it is attached are in free fall.
