You're reading an article about forest fires in california and it features a photograph of firefighters battling a fire on a hil

lside next to a freeway. the firefighters are at the bottom of the hill using a firehose to control a fire that's in the middle of the hill. you're curious how fast the water is exiting the nozzle. analyzing the photograph in photoshop, you determine that the firehose nozzle is being held 2.1 m above the ground and is angled 43 ∘ above the horizontal. furthermore, the water from the hose lands on the hill 30 m from the feet of the firefighters. the article mentions that the grade of the hill is 37%, which corresponds to a slope of 20∘ above the horizontal. what is the speed the water when it exits the hose?

I think the logical question here is to either find the distance or the displacement. They differ in such a way that distance is a scalar quantity that does not focus on the direction. Displacement is a vector quantity that covers the distance from the starting point to end point. Because it travels only in one direction (to the east), in this condition, distance is equal to displacement.

Distance =  Displacement = 3,000 m + 1,500 m = 4,500 m

The correct answer is Dr. Patel, a cardiologist, presents her findings on heart disease.

A cardiologist is a heart doctor, so he would be the highest authority to speak about heart disease. The others are all amateurs in their businesses.

A 50-kg copper block initially at 140°C is dropped into an insulated tank that contains 90 L of water at 10°C. Determine the fin
Kaylis [27]

Answer:

16.33°C

Explanation:

Applying,

Heat lost by copper = heat gained by water

cm(t₁-t₃) = c'm'(t₃-t₂).............. Equation 1

Where c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, c' = specific heat capacity of water, m' = mass of water, t₁ = initial temperature of copper, t₂ = initial temperature of water, t₃ = final equilibrium temperature.

From the question,

Given: m = 50 kg, t₁ = 140°C, m' = 90 L = 90 kg, t₂ = 10°C

Constant: c = 385  J/kg°C, c' = 4200J/kg°C

Substitute these values into equation 1

50(385)(140-t₃) = 90(4200)(t₃-10)

(140-t₃) = 378000(t₃-10)/19250

(140-t₃) = 19.64(t₃-10)

140-t₃ = 19.64t₃-196.6

19.64t₃+t₃ = 196.4+140

20.64t₃ = 336,4

t₃ = 336.4/20.6

t₃ = 16.33°C

vodka [1.7K]
We are given
r = 0.6 m
n = 1.5
D = 0.6 m, R1 = 30 cm
R2 = 120 cm

We are asked to get the focal length and the distance of the focal plane from the lens

We use the formula
1 / f = ( n - 1) (1/R1 - 1/R2)
Substituting and solving for f
1/ f = (1.5 - 1) (1/30 - 1/120)
f = 80 cm

The focal length is 80 cm and the distance of the focal plane from the lesn is 80 cm - 30 cm = 50 cm.<span />
