A lighthouse is located on a small island 5 km away from the nearest point p on a straight shoreline and its light makes two rev

olutions per minute. how fast is the beam of light moving along the shoreline when it is 1 km from p? (round your answer to one decimal place.)

The distance starting from the point to the lighthouse would be regarded as the hypotenuse.

And also will be the radius of the circle the beam of light is generating at that point. 


So get the radius first

r = sqrt (1^2 + 5^2)

r = 5.099 km


find the circumference:

C = 2*pi * 5.099 km

C = 2 * 16.01898094

C = 32.04 km


Then find the speed in km/sec

One revolution: 60/2 = 30 sec per revolution

Speed = 32.04 km/30 sec

S = 1.068 km/sec is the speed of light

Which type of matter is gold an element used in making jewelry A.) A heterogeneous mixture B.) A pure substance C.) A crystallin
Mnenie [13.5K]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

<em>The gold used in the making of jewelry is usually not pure but a heterogeneous mixture of metals. Pure gold is quite soft and even though it may look better in appearance compared to those made using heterogeneous mixtures, it usually bends easily. Hence, in order to make the jewelry more durable, gold is usually mixed with other metals to form a heterogeneous mixture. </em>

The correct option is A.

Explain how Pascal's principle can be used to design a fluid power system and describe how a fluid power system works.
zhenek [66]
Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.

A spherical gas-storage tank with an inside diameter of 9 m is being constructed to store gas under an internal pressure of 1.50
lutik1710 [3]

Answer: 33 mm

Explanation:

Given

Diameter of the tank, d = 9 m, so that, radius = d/2 = 9/2 = 4.5 m

Internal pressure of gas, P(i) = 1.5 MPa

Yield strength of steel, P(y) = 340 MPa

Factor of safety = 0.3

Allowable stress = 340 * 0.3 = 102 MPa

σ = pr / 2t, where

σ = allowable stress

p = internal pressure

r = radius of the tank

t = minimum wall thickness

t = pr / 2σ

t = 1.5*10^6 * 4.5 / 2 * 102*10^6

t = 0.033 m

t = 33 mm

The minimum thickness of the wall required is therefore, 33 mm
