An aircraft maintenance technician walks past a tall hangar door that acts like a single slit for sound entering the hangar. Out

side the door, on a line perpendicular to the opening in the door, a jet engine makes a 610 Hz sound. At what angle with the door will the technician observe the first minimum in sound intensity if the vertical opening is 0.840 m wide and the speed of sound is 340 m/s

Answer:

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Explanation:

v = 340m/s = speed of sound

f = 610Hz

d = 0.840m

λ = ?

Mλ = wsinθ

m = mth order minima

λ = wavelength incident on the single slit

θ = angular position of the mth minima

But, λ = v / f

λ = 340 / 610 = 0.557m

θ = sin⁻(mλ/d)

θ = sin⁻ [(1 * 0.557) / 0.840]

θ = sin⁻ 0.6635

θ = 41.57°

The first minimum would be observed at 41.57°

Use scientific (exponential) notation to express the following quantities in terms of the SI base units in
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

When a number is written in scientific notation (representing the number using powers of base ten) it is expressed so that it contains a digit in the place of the units and all other digits after the decimal point, multiplied by the respective exponent.  For example, the number 4.232(10)^{3}.

On the other hand, it is known the units in the SI for mass, length, time and temperature are kilogram (kg), meter (m), second (s) and Kelvin (K), respectively. In addition, thera are prefixes of the International System (SI) that indicate a specific factor of 10.

For example:

-Giga (G) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{6}

-Pico (p) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{-12}

-Mili (m) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{-3}

-Micro (\mu) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{-6}

-Tera (T) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{12}

-Kilo (K) is a prefix that indicates a factor of 10^{3}

Knowing this, let's express these quantities in terms of the SI base units:

0.13 g=0.00013 kg=1.3 (10)^{-4}kg

232 Gg=232(10)^{6}g=232 (10)^{3}kg

5.23 pm=5.23(10)^{-12}m

86.3 mg=86.3(10)^{-3}g=8.63 (10)^{-5}kg

37.6 cm=0.376 m=3.76 (10)^{-1}m

54 \mu m=54 (10)^{-6}m

1 Ts=1 (10)^{-12}s

27 ps=27 (10)^{-12}s

0.15 mK=0.15(10)^{-3}K

Can anyone define thermostat and list electrical appliances that have a thermostat?
Tresset [83]
A thermostat is a switch that operates itself when the temperature
goes above or below a temperature that the user can set.

-- Before you go to bed, you set the thermostat for 65° .
If the temperature in the house goes below 65° during the night,
the thermostat turns on the furnace, and keeps it running until
the house warms up to 65°.  Then it shuts the furnace off.

-- After breakfast, you set the thermostat for 75°.
If the temperature in the house goes above 75°, during the day, 
the thermostat turns on the air conditioner, and keeps it running until
the house cools down to 75°.  Then it shuts the air conditioner off.  

-- On Sunday morning, you put the slow cooker on the kitchen counter,
and you throw in a big roast, a sliced onion, some baby carrots, some
sliced potatoes, some vegetable stock, salt, pepper, garlic, chili powder,
and tomato paste.  Then you put the cover on, turn the power on, and
set the slow cooker to "LOW".  The heater in the slow cooker turns on.
  Whenever the temperature in the crock gets higher than 160°, the
thermostat in the slow cooker turns off the heater, and keeps it off
until the crock cools down to 160°.  Then the thermostat turns the
heater on again.
  By dinner time, you have a hot, juicy, scrumptious pot roast, ready
to eat.  It's not too hot, not too cold, not too tough, not dried out, and
it melts in your mouth.
You're still thinking about it when you go to bed, and your mom gives you
a slice to take to school for your lunch on Monday.

A 6.5 x 104 W engine exerts a constant force on of 5.5 x 103 N on a car, the resulting velocity is?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

12m/s

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Power = 6.5 x 10⁴W

Force  = 5.5 x 10³N

Unknown:

The resulting velocity  = ?

Solution:

 The velocity of a body is related to force and power using the expression below;

            Power  = Force x velocity

Insert the parameters and solve for velocity

         6.5 x 10⁴  = 5.5 x 10³ x velocity

          velocity  = \frac{6.5 x 10^{4} }{5.5 x 10^{3} }   = 12m/s
