Answer:

v = 3321.85 mph

Explanation:

Equivalences :

1 mile = 1609.34 m

1 hour = 3600 seconds

Data

v= 1485 m/s : speed of sound in water

Problem Development

To calculate the speed of sound in mph (mile / hour), we multiply by the conversion factors using the equivalences:

$v= (1485 \frac{m}{s} )*(\frac{1mile}{1609.34 m} )*(\frac{3600s}{hour})$

We cancel the units in seconds (s) and meters (m) to get the answer in miles per hour (miles / hour or mph)

$v=\frac{1485*3600}{1609.34} \frac{mile}{hour}$

v= 3321.85 mile/hour

v = 3321.85 mph

Ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33degrees north of east starting at point 1. Draw Ann's path. Represent Ann's walk with a

zubka84 [21]

The x-component of Anne's path:
80 x cos(33)
= 67.1 meters
y-component of Anne's path:
80 x sin(33)
= 43.6 meters
To draw he diagram, you draw a horizontal line starting at point 1 to the right representing 67.1 meters. At the end of this line, draw a vertical line upwards representing 43.6 meters.
Connect the start of the horizontal line at point 1 to the end of the vertical line with an angle of 33° between them.

PLEASE HELP! Explain how energy travels outward from the core and is emitted from the Sun. Include what happens in each layer of

xxMikexx [17]

Fusion occurs in the Sun's core, releasing energy that is transferred outward. Once in the radiative zone, gamma rays are transferred by radiation. They are converted to other types of photons, which move into the convective zone, where they are transferred by convection. Finally, energy is emitted from the photosphere.

In a tug of war, two teams exerts a force of 30 N each. What is the net force acting on the rope?

Arte-miy333 [17]

The force exerted by each team is 30 N. The forces are in the direction opposite to each other.

Force exerted by team 1, $F_{1}=30 N$

Force exerted by team 2, $F_{2}=-30 N$

Net force, $F=F_{1} +F_{2}$

$=30+(-30)=0$

Therefore, net force on the rope is 0 N.

16 grams of ice at –32°C is to be changed to steam at 182°C. The entire process requires _____ cal. Round your answer to the nea

ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:

12432 cal.

Explanation:

The process to change ice at -32 ºC to steam at 182 ºC can be divided into 5 steps:

1. Heat the ice to 0 ºC, which is the fusion temperature.

2. Melt the ice (obtaining liquid water), which is a process at constant pressure and temperature, so the liquid obtained is also at 0ºC.

3. Heat the liquid water from 0 ºC to 100 ºC, which is the vaporization normal temperature of the water.

4. Vaporization of all the water; this is also a process that occurs at constant pressure and temperature, so the produced steam will be at 100ºC.

5. Heat the steam from 100 ºC to 182 ºC.

Each process has a required energy, and the sum of the energy required for each and all of the steps is the total amount of energy required for the whole process:

$E_T=E_1+E_2+E_3+E_4+E_5$
