u are very correct@honey tnx brb
Re: Nairaland Physics Gurus by lavosier: 12:56pm On Sep 10, 2013
honey:
V(velocity of sound)= 2X/T,
i) in the first case, T=4, then 4V=2x, dividing through by 2,
X-2V=0---------------------(i)
ii) case 2, the distance from the wall was reduced by 200, time(T)= 3.4, therefore
(2X-200)=3.4V
2(x-100)=3.4V, dividing through by 2
x-1.7=100----------------------(ii), bringing the two simultaneopus equations together,

X-2V=0
x-1.7=100, subtracting eqn ii from i
v=333.33, x=666.67
a) speed of sound= 333.33ms-1
b)distance from the wall in case 2 = (2x-200)/2= (x-100)= 666.67-100= 566.67m
i hope i am correct.

the whole pulley system can be considered as a pulley having the block W on the inclined plane, and the mass 50kg hanging vertically on the high end of the pulley.... so the following can be deduced, since the block is about to move down, the minimum forward force =mg.sin30, and also the frictional forces are [1]the tension of the rope =FT and [1] static friction =0.3mg.... now £ax=mg.sin30-0.3mg-FT (since mg=W), =0.5W-0.2W-FT=ma ....£by= FT-50g=50a ...... adding the two equations, 0.2W-50g=a(50+m), now assuming the block is yet to move, a=0 (taking g=10ms-2), then the equation becomes 0.2W=500 , dividing through by 2, W=1000N m=100Kg.

a little bit tricky,u cld see dat d tension in rope was nt givn datz negligible which means Wsin30=fr force so far its moving downward lik u did above.tthen Wsin30=uN
WHERE N IS Wcos30 normal resolution
so simply,Wsin30=0.3*Wcos30
therefore,Wtan30=0.3
W=0.3/tan30
cn u see dat d 50kg is useless

steel rails 8.0m long are laid end-to-end in winter when the temperature is -10°C
a)how much space should be left between them to allow for expansion in the summer when the temperature could reach 50°c?
B)if tthe rails had been butted against each other at -10°c,what stress would each have to withstand at 50°c in order to prevent buckling?
(for steel,take ¤=1.2 * 10-5/k and E=21 * 10^10N/m2)

g=GM/R2..since G is constant lets equate.9.8r^2/m^2=4.9(h+r)^2/m^2 whr h =d altitude..since m id equal,it can cut out so we av 9.8r^2=4.9(h+3)^2 removin bra we av 9.8r^2=4.9h^2+9.8hr+4.9r^2..clllectin like terms,we av 9.8r^2-4.9r^2=4.9h^2+9.8hr..wich equals 4.9r^2=H^2+2hr..completin ƌ square we av 4.9r^2+r^2=(h+r)^2....suareroot of (5.9r^2)-r=H...our H=9145.5......not so sure sha

work done by gas in an isothermal process {W=P1V1*In(V2/V1)}, from the ideal gas equation, PV=nRT, and the final volume is twice the initial volume, then W=nRT*In2 , replacing the parameters in the equation, W=3*8.314*300*0.693= 5300J approx, i hope i am correct.

u tried

fg=(GMem)/r2=mg
=>r2=GMe/g=GMe/4.9 eq(1)

on the earth's surface,g=GMe/Re2
=>GMe=gRe2=(9.cool(6.4*10^6)^2
=4.01*10^14

eq.1 then gives r2=(4.01*10^14)/4.9,or r=9.05*10^6m from the earth's centre
now,(9.05-6.4)*10^6=2.65*10^6m from the earth's surfac
