For many years the posted highway speed limit was 88.5 km/h but in recent years some rural stretches of highway have increased their speed limit to 104.6 km/h. In Maine the distance from Portland to Bangor is 215 km. How much time can be saved in making this trip at the new speed limit?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Time Saved = 0.374 h = 22.4 min

Explanation:

First we calculate the time required at old speed limit:

s = v₁t₁

where,

s = distance from Portland to Bangor = 215 km

v₁ = old speed limit = 88.5 km/h

t₁ = time taken with old speed limit = ?

Therefore,

215 km = 88.5 km/h (t₁)

t₁ = (215 km)/(88.5 km/h)

t₁ = 2.429 h

Now, we calculate the time taken at the new speed limit:

s = v₂t₂

where,

s = distance from Portland to Bangor = 215 km

v₂ = new speed limit = 104.6 km/h

t₂ = time taken with new speed limit = ?

Therefore,

215 km = 104.6 km/h (t₂)

t₂ = (215 km)/(104.6 km/h)

t₂ = 2.055 h

So, the time saved will be:

Time Saved = t₁ - t₂ = 2.429 h - 2.055 h

Time Saved = 0.374 h = 22.4 min

A student used apparatus as shown above. The beaker held 750 g of a liquid. The current from the power supply was 1.8 A and the potential difference of the supply was 230 V. The temperature rose from 12 °C to 40 °C over a period of 2 minutes.
Calculate the specific heat capacity of the liquid.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

Explanation:

V = Voltage = 230 V

I = Current = 1.8 A

[tex]\Delta T[/tex] = Temperature change = [tex](40-12)^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

t = Time taken = 2 minutes

m = Mass of liquid = 750 g

c = Specific heat capacity of the liquid

Energy required to heat the water is equal to the heat released due to current passing

[tex]mc\Delta T=VIt\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{VIt}{m\Delta T}\\\Rightarrow c=\dfrac{230\times 1.8\times 2\times 60}{0.75\times (40-12)}\\\Rightarrow c=2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

The specific heat capacity of the liquid is [tex]2365.71\ \text{J/kg}^{\circ}\text{C}[/tex]

An object with a mass of 10 kg is rolled down a frictionless ramp from a height of 3 meters. If a factory worker at the bottom of the ramp slows the object until it comes to a stop, how much work must the factory worker have done

Answers

Answer:

The amount of work the factory worker must to stop the rolling ramp is 294 joules

Explanation:

The object rolling down the frictionless ramp has the following parameters;

The mass of the object = 10 kg

The height from which the object is rolled = 3 meters

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = The initial potential energy, P.E., of the ramp

Where;

The potential energy P.E. = m × g × h

m = The mass of the ramp = 10 kg

g = The acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

h = The height from which the object rolls down = 3 m

Therefore, we have;

P.E. = 10 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 3 m = 294 Joules

The work done by the factory worker to stop the rolling ramp = P.E. = 294 joules

Explanation:

c. At point C  the pendulum have the most kinetic energy.

What is Kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is a form of energy that an object or a particle has by reason of its motion.

If work, which transfers energy, is done on an object by applying a net force, the object speeds up and thereby gains kinetic energy.

Kinetic energy is defined as:

⇒E = 1/2mv²

Here, the mass of the pendulum bob won't change, the only way for kinetic energy to change is for the speed of the pendulum to change. Kinetic energy is highest when the velocity is the highest.

This occurs at the bottom of the pendulum. An active pendulum has the most kinetic energy at the lowest point of its swing when the weight is moving fastest.

Therefore,

At point C  the pendulum have the most kinetic energy.

A battery is the power source for what type of current

Answers

Answer: DC Current

Explanation:

Battery is a source of constant potential difference and it will create a constant voltage across any conductor

due to this constant voltage difference the current in this conductor will remain constant

So here since the voltage across the conductor is constant so we can say that current in the conductor will remain constant and hence this is known as DC current.

While for variable current in direction and magnitude is to be obtained only when the conductor is connected with AC voltage source as we know that AC voltage is variable with magnitude and direction both

A battery is the power source for DC type of current.  A battery is a source of constant potential difference that produces a constant current unlike in AC source where the voltage and hence the current changes its polarity continuously.Hence, the current produced by battery is direct current and not Alternating current.

Queremos un cilindro de simple efecto que utilice en su funcionamiento un volumen de aire a presión atmosférica de 13,122 litros, cuya presión de trabajo sea de 8,5Kgf/ cm2 y cuya longitud sea de 20 cm. -hallar el diámetro de este cilindro. - calcular las fuerzas de este cilindro.

Answers

Answer:

1) El diámetro es de aproximadamente 913,987 cm.

2) La fuerza del cilindro es 5576850 kgf

Explanation:

1) Los parámetros dados son;

El volumen del aire = 13,122 litros = 13122000 cm³

La presión de trabajo = 8.5 kgf / cm²

La longitud del cilindro = 20 cm.

Por lo tanto, tenemos;

El área de la base del cilindro = π · r² = 13122000 cm³ / (20 cm) = 656100 cm²

r = √ (656100 / π) ≈ 456,994 cm

El diámetro = 2 × r ≈ 2 × 456.994 ≈ 913.987 cm

El diámetro ≈ 913,987 cm

2) La fuerza del cilindro = El área de la base del cilindro × La presión de trabajo

∴ La fuerza del cilindro = 656100 cm² × 8.5 kgf / cm² = 5576850 kgf

La fuerza del cilindro = 5576850 kgf

A satellite is on orbit 35600 km above the surface of the earth.its angular velocity is 7.25×10–5 rad/sec.What is the vrlocity of the satellite?(The radius of the earth is 6400 km​

Answers

Answer: 3.045 km/s

Explanation:

When an object is doing a circular motion, the velocity of the object is written as;

v = r*w

where;

r = radius of the circle

w = angular velocity.

In this case, we know that:

w = 7.25*10^(-5) s^-1

And the radius will be equal to the radius of the Earth, plus the height of the satellite, this is:

R = radius of the Earth + 35600 km = 6400km + 35600 km  = 42000 km

Then the velocity of the satellite will be:

v =  42000 km*7.25*10^(-5) s^-1 = 3.045 km/s

The velocity of a satellite with an orbit 35600 km above the surface of the earth and an angular velocity of 7.25×10–5 rad/sec = 3045 m/s

Velocity: This is the rate of change of displacement.

To solve this problem we need to use the formula for calculating the velocity of  an object in circular motion

The Velocity of the satellite is given as

V = ωr................ Equation 1

where V = velocity of the satellite, ω = angular velocity of the satellite, r = radius of the circle.

Note: r = height of the satellite above the surface of the earth+Radius of the earth

From the question,

Given: ω = 7.25×10⁻⁵ rad/sec, r = 35600+6400 = 42000 km = 4.2×10⁷ m

Substitute these values into equation 1

V = (7.25×10⁻⁵)(4.2×10⁷ )

V = 30.45×10²

V = 3045 m/s

Hence, the velocity of the satellite is 3045 m/s

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Refractive index (n) = 1.5

Critical angle (C) =?

The refractive index and the critical angle are related according to the following reaction:

n = 1 / Sine C

Thus, with the above formula, we can obtain the critical angle as follow:

Refractive index (n) = 1.5

Critical angle (C) =?

n = 1 / Sine C

1.5 = 1 / Sine C

Cross multiply

1.5 × Sine C = 1

Divide both side by 1.5

Sine C = 1 / 1.5

Sine C = 0.6667

Take the inverse of sine

C = Sine¯¹ (0.6667)

C = 41.8 ≈ 42°

Thus, the critical angle is approximately

42°.
