For this case we must do a conversion. By definition we have to:

1 inch equals 2.54 centimeters

1 day equals 24 hours.

So, we have: $18 \frac {in} {day} * \frac {1} {24} \frac {day} {h} * \frac {2.54} {1} \frac {cm} {in} =$

Canceling units we have:

$\frac {18 * 1 * 2.54} {24 * 1} \frac {cm} {h} =\\\frac {45.72} {24}\frac {cm} {h} =$

$1,905 \frac {cm} {h}$

Answer:

$1,905 \frac {cm} {h}$

Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

A. Using

Sinစ= y/ L = 0.013/2.7= 0.00481

စ=0.28°

B.here we use

Alpha= πsinစa/lambda

= π x (0.0351)sin(0.28)/588E-9m

= 9.1*10^-2rad

C.we use

I(စ)/Im= (sin alpha/alpha) ²

{= (sin0.091/0.091)²

= 3*10^-4

How much heat is removed from 60 grams of steam at 100 °C to change it to 60 grams

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

45200J

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Heat of vaporization of water = 2260J/g

Mass of steam = 20g

Temperature = 100°C

Unknown:

Energy released during the condensation = ?

Solution:

This change is a phase change and there is no change in temperature

To find the amount of heat released;

H = mL

m is the mass

L is the latent heat of vaporization

Insert the parameters and solve;

H = 20g x 2260J/g

H = 45200J

On the earth, when an astronaut throws a 0.250-kg stone vertically upward, it returns to his hand a time T later. On planet X he

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

d) g/2

Explanation:

We need to use one of Newton's equations of motion to find the position of the stone at any time t.

x(t) = x₀(t) + ut - ¹/₂at²

Where

x₀(t) = initial position of the stone.

x(t) - x₀(t) = distance traveled by the stone at any time.

u = initial velocity of the stone

a = acceleration of the stone

t = time taken

On both planets, before the stone was thrown by the astronaut, x = 0 and t = 0.

=> 0 = x₀(t)

=> x₀(t) = 0

On earth, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut at time T on earth, x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + uT - ¹/₂gT² (a = g)

=> uT = ¹/₂gT²

=> g = 2u/T

On planet X, when the stone returns into the hand of the astronaut, time = 2T , x = 0.

=> 0 = 0 + u(2T) - ¹/₂a(2T)²

=> 2uT = 2aT²

=> a = u/T

By comparing we see that a = g/2.

Like the filters falling through the air, a car on the freeway represents an object with a high Reynolds number traveling throug

Goshia [24]

Answer:

ΔF=125.22 %

Explanation:

We know that drag force on the car given as

$F_D=\dfrac{1}{2}\rho C_DA v^2$

$C_D$ =Drag coefficient

A=Projected area

v=Velocity

ρ=Density

All other quantity are constant so we can say that drag force and velocity can be given as

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

Now by putting the values

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{v_1^2}{v_2^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=\dfrac{50^2}{75^2}$

$\dfrac{F_D_1}{F_D_2}=0.444$

Percentage Change in the drag force

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-F_D_1}{F_D_1}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{F_D_2-0.444F_D_2}{0.444F_D_2}\times 100$

$\Delta F=\dfrac{1-0.444}{0.444}\times 100$

ΔF=125.22 %

Therefore force will increase by 125.22 %.

Consider an electron with charge −e and mass m orbiting in a circle around a hydrogen nucleus (a single proton) with charge +e.

alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$ , $2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$

Explanation:

The magnitude of the electromagnetic force between the electron and the proton in the nucleus is equal to the centripetal force:

$k\frac{(e)(e)}{r^2}=m_e \frac{v^2}{r}$

where

k is the Coulomb constant

e is the magnitude of the charge of the electron

e is the magnitude of the charge of the proton in the nucleus

r is the distance between the electron and the nucleus

v is the speed of the electron

$m_e$ is the mass of the electron

Solving for v, we find

$v=\sqrt{k\frac{e^2}{m_e r}}$

Inside an atom of hydrogen, the distance between the electron and the nucleus is approximately

$r=5.3\cdot 10^{-11}m$

while the electron mass is

$m_e = 9.11\cdot 10^{-31}kg$

and the charge is

$e=1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C$

Substituting into the formula, we find

$v=\sqrt{(9\cdot 10^9 m/s) \frac{(1.6\cdot 10^{-19} C)^2}{(9.11\cdot 10^{-31} kg)(5.3\cdot 10^{-11} m)}}=2.18\cdot 10^6 m/s$
