Answer:

Since this is a linear equation

y = m x + b or

U = m F + b is a linear equation

when ΔF = (212 - 32) = 180

and ΔU = (60 - (-15)) = 75

m = 75 / 180 = 2.4 if converting F to U and a = .417

U = .417 F + b

If F = 32 then U = -15 and

-15 = .417 * 32 + b

b = -15 - 13.3 = -28.3 and our equation becomes

U = .417 F - 28.3

Check: let F = 212

U = .417 * 212 - 28.3 = 60 as it should

44. A rescue helicopter is hovering over a person whose boat has sunk. One of the rescuers throws a life preserver straight down

Vladimir [108]

Answer:

18.4 m

Explanation:

(a)

The known variables in this problem are:

u = 1.40 m/s is the initial vertical velocity (we take downward direction as positive direction)

t = 1.8 s is the duration of the fall

a = g = 9.8 m/s^2 is the acceleration due to gravity

(b)

The vertical distance covered by the life preserver is given by

$d=ut + \frac{1}{2}at^2$

If we substitute all the values listed in part (a), we find

$d=(1.40 m/s)(1.8 s)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8 m/s^2)(1.8 s)^2=18.4m$

In what way could a random mutation provide an organism with an advantage? With a example please

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

They are called beneficial mutations. They lead to new versions of proteins that help organisms adapt to changes in their environment. Beneficial mutations are essential for evolution to occur. They increase an organism's changes of surviving or reproducing, so they are likely to become more common over time.

One end of an insulated metal rod is maintained at 100 ∘C and the other end is maintained at 0.00 ∘C by an ice–water mixture. Th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

$k=105.0359\times 10^4\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$

Explanation:

Given:

temperature at the hotter end, $T_H=100^{\circ}C$

temperature at the cooler end, $T_C=0^{\circ}C$

length of rod through which the heat travels, $dx=0.7\,m$

cross-sectional area of rod, $A=1.1\times 10^{-4}\,cm^2$

mass of ice melted at zero degree Celsius, $m=8.7\times 10^{-3}\,kg$

time taken for the melting of ice, $t=15\times60=900\,s$

thermal conductivity k=?

By Fourier's Law of conduction we have:

$\dot{Q}=k.A.\frac{dT}{dx}$ ......................................(1)

where:

$\dot{Q}$ =rate of heat transfer

dT= temperature difference across the length dx

Now, we need the total heat transfer according to the condition:

we know the latent heat of fusion of ice, $L = 334000\,J.kg^{-1}$

$Q=m.L$

$Q=8.7\times 10^{-3}\times 334000$

$Q=2905.8\,J$

Now the heat rate:

$\dot{Q}=\frac{Q}{t}$

$\dot{Q}=\frac{2905.8}{900}$

$\dot{Q}=3.2287\,W$

Now using eq,(1)

$3.2287=k\times 1.1\times 10^{-4} \times \frac{100}{0.7}$

$k=205.4606\,W.m^{-1}.K^{-1}$
