The return-air ventilation duct in a home has a cross-sectional area of 900 cm^2. The air in a room that has dimensions 7.0 m ××

11.0 m ×× 2.4 m is to be completely circulated in a 40-min cycle. What is the speed of the air in the duct? (Express your answer to two significant figures.) (m/s)

Answer:

0.86 m/s

Explanation:

A = cross-sectional area of the duct = 900 cm² = 900 x 10⁻⁴ m²

v = speed of air in the duct

t = time period of circulation = 40 min = 40 x 60 sec = 2400 sec

V = Volume of the air in the room = volume of room = 7 x 11 x 2.4 = 184.8 m³

Volume of air in the room is given as

V = A v t

inserting the values

184.8 = (900 x 10⁻⁴) (2400) v

v = 0.86 m/s

How did astronomers precisely determine the length of an Astronomical Unit in the 1960s?
zaharov [31]

Answer:

Use of telemetry and radar astronomy

Explanation:

An astronomical Unit (AU) is a unit of measuring distances in outer space, which is based on the approximate distance between the earth and the Sun.

After several years of trying to approximate the distance between the Sun and the Earth using several methods based on geometry and some other calculations, advancements in technology made available the presence of special motoring equipment, which can be placed in outer space to remotely monitor and measure the position of the sun.

The use of direct radar measurements to the sun (radar astronomy) have also made the determination of the AU more accurate.

A standard radar pulse of known speed is sent to the Sun, and the time with which it takes to return is measured,  once this is recorded, the distance between the Earth and the Sun can be calculated using

distance = speed X time.

However, most of these means have to be corrected for parallax errors

A physicist found that a force of 1.32 N was measured between two charged spheres. The distance between the spheres was 95 cm. C
labwork [276]

The electric force (and the gravitational force too) is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects involved.

In this question, the distance is increased by a factor of  (1.25/0.95) .

So the electric force will change by the factor of  (0.95/1.25)² .

The new force is

           (1.32 N) · (0.95/1.25)²  =  0.762... newton   (rounded)
