If a train is 100 kilometers away, how much sooner would you hear the train coming by listening to the rails (iron) as opposed t

o listening for it standing by the track? In other words, how much faster will the sound travel through the iron rails than through the air? Assume the air temperature is 0°C. Sound will reach you seconds sooner.

From tables, the speed of sound at 0°C is approximately
V₁ = 331 m/s (in air)
V₃ = 5130 m/s (in iron)

Distance traveled is
d = 100 km = 10⁵ m

Time required to travel in air is
t₁ = d/V₁ = 10⁵/331 = 302.12 s

Time required to travel in iron is
t₂ = d/V₂ = 10⁵/5130 = 19.49 s

The difference in time is
302.12 - 19.49 = 282.63 s

Answer:  283 s (nearest second)

A bicyclist of mass 68 kg rides in a circle at a speed of 3.9 m/s. If the radius of the circle is 6.5 m, what is the centripetal
ASHA 777 [7]
Data:
Centripetal Force = ? (Newton)
m (mass) = 68 Kg
s (speed) = 3.9 m/s
R (radius) = 6.5 m

Formula:
F_{centripetal\:force} =  \frac{m*s^2}{R}

Solving:
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{m*s^2}{R}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*3.9^2}{6.5}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{68*15.21}{6.5}
F_{centripetal\:force} = \frac{1034.28}{6.5}
\boxed{\boxed{F_{centripetal\:force} = 159.12\:N}}

A thin stream of water flows smoothly from a faucet and falls straight down. at one point the water is flowing at a speed of v1
kati45 [8]
<span>The formulas are, v1d1² = v2d2² ........ (1) h = (v2²-v1²)/2g ...... (2) Given that, v1 = 1.71 m/s we assume that the stream has decreased by a factor d2 =0.805d1 then, v1d1² = v2 (0.805d1)² cancelled both side d1² then we get, v1 = v2 (0.805)² v1 = v2 (0.648025) Sub v1 = 1.71, 1.71 = v2 (0.648025) v2 = 1.71/0.648025 v2 = 2.638787083831642 v2 = 2.64 m/s The vertical distance formula, h = (v2²-v1²)/2g We know that value of gravity constant is 9.8 m/s² h = {(2.64)² - (1.71)²)/2(9.8) h = {(6.9696) - (2.9241)}/19.6 h = (4.0455)/19.6 h = 0.2064030612244898 h = 0.21 cm Therefore, the vertical distance h = 0.21 cm.</span>

Answer:

v = 1/3 m / s = 0.333 m / s

in the direction of the truck

Explanation:

The average speed is defined by the variation of the position between the time spent

           v = Δx / Δt

since the position is a vector we must add using vectors, we will assume that the displacement to the right is positive, the total displacement is

           Δx = 20 - 15 +20

           Δx = 25 m

therefore we calculate

         v = 25/75

         v = 1/3 m / s = 0.333 m / s

in the direction of the truck

If the loss of 3500 kcal is equal to a loss of 1.0 lb, how many days will it take charles to lose 5.0 lb
rusak2 [61]
We are missing an important piece of information needed to answer this question: the number of kcal Charles losses per day. However, we can come up with a general equation in which kcal/day is the only independent variable.

We know that it takes 3500 kcal to lose one pound. To lose 5 pounds, Charles needs to lose 5 x 3500 kcal = 17,500 kcal. 

To find how many days it takes Charles to lose 17,500 kcal (5 pounds), we must divide that amount by the number of kcal Charles loses per day. 
Here is the equation to calculate that number

Number of days= 17500 / (kcal per day)

If given calories, remember that 1000 calories = 1 kcal, and .001 kcal = 1 cal

A responder can protect himself/herself from radiation by using shielding as a response action. What materials are best for prot
Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

Few millimeter thick aluminium, water, wood, acrylic glass or plastic.

Explanation:

The materials that are best for protection against beta particles are few millimeter thickness of aluminium, but for the high energy beta-particles radiations the low atomic mass materials such as plastic, wood, water and acrylic glass can be used.

These materials can also be used in personal protective equipment which includes all the clothing that can be worn to prevent any injury or illness due to the exposure to radiation.
