Two carts, a and b, are connected by a rope 39 ft long that passes over a pulley p. the point q is on the floor h = 12 ft direct

ly beneath p and between the carts. cart a is being pulled away from q at a speed of 3 ft/s. how fast is cart b moving toward q at the instant when cart a is 5 ft from q? (round your answer to two decimal places.)

<span>I've added an attachment to this post to explain the problem. Two carts, A and B, are connected by a rope 39 feet long that passes over a pulley P. The point Q is on the floor h = 12 ft directly beneath P and between the carts. Cart A is being pulled away at a speed of 2.5 ft/s. How fast is cart B moving toward Q at the instant when cart A is 5 ft from Q. (round to 2 decimal places) From the problem, I know the following things: PQ = h = 12 AQ = 5 AP = 13 (by Pythagoras) APB = 39 PB = 39-13 = 26 QB = 2\sqrt{133} (by Pythagoras) (work to follow in next posting for organization)</span>

Why is the specific heat capacity of the human body close to, but somewhat less than, that of water?
vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

Because most of the human body (about 70% of it) consists of water

Explanation:

The main reason why the specific heat capacity of the human body is very close to that of water is that water makes approximately 70% of the substances of which the human body consists. However, the human body has a slightly smaller specific heat capacity than water, because it contains also other elements/substances, and since water is one of the substances with the higher specific heat capacity at all, the specific heat capacity of the body is a bit smaller.

How many photons are absorbed during the dental x-ray?
MariettaO [177]
<span>E=hc/wav. len
E = (6.62 x 10^-34 x 3 x 10^8)/0.0275 x 10^-9
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15 J
To convert to eV divide by 1.6 x 10^-19
E = 7.22182 x 10^-15/1.6 x 10^-19 eV
E =45.36 x 10^3 eV
Th energy, E, of a single x-ray photon in eV is = 45.36keV.

Number of photons, n = total energy/ energy of photon
n = 3.85 x 10^-6/7.22182 x 10^-15
n = 5.33 x 10^8 photons </span>
