Answer:

<h3>The answer is 61,200 m</h3>

Explanation:

To find the distance covered by the dolphin , we use the formula

<h3>distance = velocity × time</h3>

From the question

velocity = 17 m/s

time = 3600 s

We have

distance = 17 × 3600

We have the final answer as

Hope this helps you

Determine the maximum shearing stress in a solid shaft of 1.5-in. diameter as it transmits 75 hp at a speed of 1800 rpm. (Round

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

$\tau=3.96\ ksi$

Explanation:

Given that

d= 1.5 in ( 1 in = 0.0254 m)

d= 0.0381 m

P= 75 hp ( 1 hp = 745.7 W)

P= 55927.5 W

N= 1800 rpm

We know that power P is given as

$P=\dfrac{2\pi N\ T}{60}$

T=Torque

N=Speed

$55927.5=\dfrac{2\times \pi \times 1800\ T}{60}$

T=296.85 N.m

The maximum shear stress is given as

$\tau=\dfrac{16 T}{\pi d^3}$

$\tau=\dfrac{16\times 296.85}{\pi \times 0.0381^3}$

$\tau=27.35\ MPa$

We know that 1 MPa =0.145 ksi

$\tau=3.96\ ksi$

Charge is uniformly distributed around a ring of radius R and the resulting electric field magnitude E is measured along the rin

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

Explanation:

Given that

Radius =r

Electric filed =E

Q=Charge on the ring

The electric filed at distance x given as

$E=K\dfrac{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{3/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$E=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}$

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}$

For maximum condition

$\dfrac{dE}{dx}=0$

$K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-3/2}}-\dfrac{3}{2}\times 2\times x\times K{Q}{(r^2+x^2)^{-5/2}}=0$

$r^2+x^2-3x^2=0$

$x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$

At $x=\dfrac{r}{\sqrt2}$ the electric field will be maximum.

Your iclicker operates at a frequency of approximately 900 mhz (900x106 hz). what is the approximate wavelength of the em wave p

Umnica [9.8K]

The clicker emits EM (electromagnetic) wave which travels at the speed of light, that is
v = 3 x 10⁸ m/s

The frequency is
f = 900mHz = 9 x 10⁸ Hz

Because velocity = frequency * wavelength, the wavelength, λ, is given by
fλ = v
λ = v/f
= (3 x 10⁸ m/s) / (9 x 10⁸ 1/s)
= 1/3 m

Answer: 1/3 m

You are helping your friend move a new refrigerator into his kitchen. You apply a horizontal force of 252 N in the negative x di

pentagon [3]

(a) 252 N, opposite to the applied force

There are two forces acting on the refrigerator in the horizontal direction:

- the pushing force of 252 N, F, forward

- the frictional force, Ff, pulling backward

In this case, the refrigerator is not moving: this means that its acceleration is zero. According to Newton's second law, this also means that the net force acting on the refrigerator is also zero:

$\sum F = ma = 0$
