Emily and Gemma did a Reaction time lab. Emily dropped the ruler while Gemma tried to catch it. She caught the ruler 5 times and

her average catching distance is 0.12 m. What is Gemma's reaction time?

The average reaction time of Gemma is 0.1564 seconds.

As we know, Gemma is catching the scale and Emily is dropping the scale.

The whole experiment is taking place under gravity, so the acceleration is constant.

As we know, the scale is dropped, it means that the initial velocity of the scale is zero.

We can use the equation of motion,

The equation is,

S = Ut + 1/2at²

Where,

S is the displacement, which is 0.12 m in our case,

U is initial velocity which is 0m/s because the stone is dropped,

t is the time taken, this is equal tot he reaction time here,

a is the acceleration due to gravity whose value is 9.8m/s.

Now, putting all the values,

0.12 = 1/2(9.8)(t)²

t² = 0.24/9.8

t = 0.1564 seconds.

Gemma reacts in 0.1564 seconds to catch the scale.

An insulated pipe carries steam at 300°C. The pipe is made of stainless steel (with k = 15 W/mK), has an inner diameter is 4 cm,
insens350 [35]

Answer:

The answers to the question are

(i) The rate of heat loss per-unit-length (W/m) from the pipe is 131.62 W

(ii) The temperature of the outer surface of the insulation is 49.89 °C

Explanation:

To solve the question, we note that the heat transferred is given by

Q = \frac{2\pi L(t_{hf} - t_{cf}) }{\frac{1}{h_{hf}r_1}+\frac{ln(r_2/r_1)}{k_A} + \frac{ln(r_3/r_2)}{k_B} +\frac{1}{h_{cf}r_3}}

Where

t_{hf} = Temperature at the inside of the pipe = 300 °C

t_{f} = Temperature at the outside of the pipe = 20 °C

r₁ =internal  radius of pipe = 4.0 cm

r₂ = Outer radius of pipe = 4.5 cm

r₃ = Outer radius of the insulation = r₂ + 2.5 = 7.0 cm

k_A = 15 W/m·K

k_B = 0.038 W/m·K

h_{hf} = 75 W/m²·K

h_{cf} = 10 W/m²·K

Plugging in the values in the above equation where for a unit length L = 1 m, we have

Q = 131.32 W

From which we have, for the film of air at the pipe outer boundary layer

Q = \frac{t_A-t_B}{R_T} Where R_T for the air film on the pipe outer surface is given by

R_T= \frac{1}{\alpha A}

where A =area of the outside of the pipe

= \frac{1}{10*2\pi*0.07*1 } = 0.227 K/W

Therefore

131.32 W = \frac{t_A-20}{0.227} which gives

t_A = 49.89 °C

Heat transferred by radiation = q' = ε×σ×(T₁⁴ - T₂⁴)

Where ε = 0.9, σ, = 5.67×10⁻⁸W/m²·(K⁴)

T₁ = Surface temperature of the pipe = 49.89 °C and

T₂ = Temperature of the surrounding = 20.00 °C

Plugging in the values gives, q' = 0.307 W per m²

Total heat lost per unit length = 131.32 + 0.307 =131.62 W

In what subject could we see cross cutting concepts
meriva
A Framework for K–12 Science Education: Practices, Crosscutting Concepts, and Core Ideas (Framework) recommends science education in grades K–12 be built around three major dimensions: science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts that unify the study of science and engineering through their common application across fields, and core ideas in the major disciplines of natural science.

An emf is induced in a conducting loop of wire 1.22 m long as its shape is changed from square to circular. Find the average mag
Afina-wow [57]

Answer:

The induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

Explanation:

Given that,

Length of the wire, L = 1.22 m

It changes its shape is changed from square to circular. Then the side of square be its circumference, 4a = L

4a = 1.22

a = 0.305 m

Area of square, A=a^2=(0.305)^2=0.0930\ m^2

Circumference of the loop,

C=2\pi r=L\\\\r=\dfrac{L}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{1.22}{2\pi}=0.194\ m

Area of circle,

A'=\pi r^2\\A'=\pi (0.194)^2\\\\A'=0.118\ m^2

The induced emf is given by :

\epsilon=\dfrac{\d\phi}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=\dfrac{\d(BA)}{dt}\\\\\epsilon=B\dfrac{A'-A}{t}\\\\\epsilon=0.125 \times \dfrac{0.118-0.0930}{4.25}\\\\\epsilon=7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

So, the induced emf in the loop is 7.35\times 10^{-4}\ V

Define 1 pascal pressure​
Rasek [7]

Answer:For example, standard atmospheric pressure (or 1 atm) is defined as 101.325 kPa. The millibar, a unit of air pressure often used in meteorology, is equal to 100 Pa. (For comparison, one pound per square inch equals 6.895 kPa.)

Explanation:A pascal is a pressure of one newton per square metre, or, in SI base units, one kilogram per metre per second squared.
