Estimate how fast your hair grows, in units of m/s, assuming it takes 30 days for your hair to grow 1 inch. note that 1 inch =2.

54cm
2. how many liters (L) of water does it take to fill a swimming pool that is 15.0 feet long, 15.0 feet wide, and 8.00 feet deep? first compute the volume of the swimming pool in ft^3 and then follow the unit conversion rules to convert the units to L. note that 1ft=0.3048 meter and 1 L =1000cm^3

Answer:

1. 9.8 x 10^-7 cm/s

2. 50970 L

Explanation:

1.

time, t = 30 days = 30 x 24 x 60 x 60 seconds = 2592000 seconds

length of hair, d = 1 inch = 2.54 cm

rate of growth = length of hair grows per second = 2.54 / 2592000

= 9.8 x 10^-7 cm/s

Thus, the grown rate of hair is 9.8 x 10^-7 cm/s.

2. length of the pool, l = 15 feet

width of the pool, w = 15 feet

height of pool, h = 8 feet

Volume of the pool, V = length x width x height

V = 15 x 15 x 8 = 1800 ft^3

To convert ft^3 into m^3 , we use

1 ft = 0.3048 m

so, 1 ft^3 = (0.3048)^3 m^3 = 0.0283 m^3

So, 1800 ft^3 = 1800 x 0.0283 = 50.97 m^3

now, 1 m^3 = 1000 L

So, 50.97 m^3 = 50.97 x 1000 L = 50970 L

Dimas [21]

Answer: the capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use resources effectively.

Explanation:

Intelligence refers to higher level abilities, the ability to learn, being creative, having an emotional knowledge, and ability to adapt to different scenarios.

Since Ashley, a psychology major, remarks that she has become interested in the study of intelligence, then Ashley is interested in the capacity to understand the world, think rationally, and use resources effectively.

If your vehicle sinks in water, which window should you kick out when the pressure equalizes?

iragen [17]

<span>If your vehicle sinks in water and assuming that you are the driver, you should kick out the driver's window when the pressure equalizes.

You should't waste your time trying to reach the rear window and you shouldn't break the front window. Therefore, just break the one nearest to you which is the driver's window in this case.</span>

A time-dependent but otherwise uniform magnetic field of magnitude B0(t) is confined in a cylindrical region of radius 6.5 cm. I

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The acceleration is $a = 3.45*10^{3} m/s^2$

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The radius is $d = 6.5 cm = \frac{6.5}{100} = 0.065 m$

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $B = 5.5 T$

The rate at which it decreases is $\frac{dB}{dt} = 24.5G/s = 24.5*10^{-4} T/s$

The distance from the center of field is $r = 1.5 cm = \frac{1.5}{100} = 0.015m$

According to Faraday's law

$\epsilon = - \frac{d \o}{dt}$

and $\epsilon = \int\limits {E} \, dl$

Where the magnetic flux $\o = B* A$

E is the electric field

dl is a unit length

So

$\int\limits {E} \, dl = - \frac{d}{dt} (B*A)$

${E} l = - \frac{d}{dt} (B*A)$

Now $l$ is the circumference of the circular loop formed by the magnetic field and it mathematically represented as $l = 2\pi r$

A is the area of the circular loop formed by the magnetic field and it mathematically represented as $A= \pi r^2$

So

${E} (2 \pi r)= - \pi r^2 \frac{dB}{dt}$

$E = \frac{r}{2} [ - \frac{db}{dt} ]$

Substituting values

$E = \frac{0.015}{2} (24*10^{-4})$

$E = 3.6*10^{-5} V/m$

The negative signify the negative which is counterclockwise

The force acting on the proton is mathematically represented as

$F_p = ma$

Also $F_p = q E$

So

$ma = qE$

Where m is the mass of the the proton which has a value of $m = 1.67 *10^{-27} kg$

$q = 1.602 *10^{-19} C$

So

$a =\frac{1.60 *10^{-19} *(3.6 *10^{-5}) }{1.67 *10^{-27}}$

$a = 3.45*10^{3} m/s^2$
