An object completes one and half revolution of a circle of radius R calculate the displacement and distance
Papessa [141]

Answer:

Distance is path length covered by particle. When particle moves along half circle, it covers half the circumference therefore distance covered is (2×pi×r)/2 = pi× r. ... Hence displacement is equal to diameter or 2 times the radius of circle.

An above ground swimming pool of 30 ft diameter and 5 ft depth is to be filled from a garden hose (smooth interior) of length 10
STALIN [3.7K]

This question involves the concepts of dynamic pressure, volume flow rate, and flow speed.

It will take "5.1 hours" to fill the pool.

First, we will use the formula for the dynamic pressure to find out the flow speed of water:

P=\frac{1}{2}\rho v^2\\\\v=\sqrt{\frac{2P}{\rho}}

where,

v = flow speed = ?

P = Dynamic Pressure = 55 psi(\frac{6894.76\ Pa}{1\ psi}) = 379212 Pa

\rho = density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Therefore,

v=\sqrt{\frac{2(379212\ Pa)}{1000\ kg/m^3}}

v = 27.54 m/s

Now, we will use the formula for volume flow rate of water coming from the hose to find out the time taken by the pool to be filled:

\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t =\frac{V}{Av}

where,

t = time to fill the pool = ?

A = Area of the mouth of hose = \frac{\pi (0.015875\ m)^2}{4} = 1.98 x 10⁻⁴ m²

V = Volume of the pool = (Area of pool)(depth of pool) = A(1.524 m)

V = [\frac{\pi (9.144\ m)^2}{4}][1.524\ m] = 100.1 m³

Therefore,

t = \frac{(100.1\ m^3)}{(1.98\ x\ 10^{-4}\ m^2)(27.54\ m/s)}\\\\

<u>t = 18353.5 s = 305.9 min = 5.1 hours</u>

A child looks at his reflection in a spherical Christmas tree ornament 8.0 cm in diameter in season that the image of his face i
malfutka [58]

From the information given,

diameter of ornament = 8

radius = diameter/2 = 8/2

radius of curvature, r = 4

Recall,

focal length, f = radius of curvature/2 = 4/2

f = 2

Recall,

magnification = image d

Please help with this science question and please explain if you can! I'm so confused
forsale [732]
In this experiment, the independent variable is the surface, the dependant variable is the distance one end of the surface must be lifted to see movement of the object, and the control variable is the object. Since the surface height at one end is changed and the object is kept the same, the only conclusion that can be made is whether the surface has an effect on the force of friction. Of course, basic physics tells you that it does, therefore A is correct.
