1.
A train running at the speed of 60 km/hr crosses a pole in 9 seconds. What is the length of the train?
120 metres
180 metres
324 metres
150 metres
Answer: Option
Explanation:

Speed = 60 x 5 m/sec = 50 m/sec.
18 3

Length of the train = (Speed x Time).

Length of the train = 50 x 9 m = 150 m.

@All.

We know that;
Velocity = Distance/Time.
so we can write,
Distance = Velocity*Time.
= (16.66)*(9) meters [=> 60km/hr convert into meters = 60*5/18. = 16.66 meter/sec.].
= 150 meters. [ANS].

According to antenna, which we design we say that frequency is between 1 to 5 Mhz or other think we can define values between 1 to 2 Mhz and can use them for infinite frequencies because if we consider frequency between 1 to 2 MHz then if we see then the output can be
1.1,1.111,1.115677,1.9876,1.11153565.....infinity now. Then why we are using this is because if you increase the value before a point it will have a large change as compared to adding values after the point.

And this is because even if there is a small change in frequency then both signals are uncorrelated to large extent.

Speed = distance/time taken.
60 *1000 = length/ 9/3600.

1 hr = 3600 seconds.
9/3600*60*1000 = 150 m.
