The highest waterfall in the world is the Salto Angel in Venezuela. Its longest single falls has a height of 807 m. If water at

the top of the falls is at 17.3°C, what is the maximum temperature of the water at the bottom of the falls? Assume all the kinetic energy of the water as it reaches the bottom goes into raising its temperature.

Answer:

Temperature at the bottom will be 19.18°C

Explanation:

We have given height h = 807 m

Temperature at the top =17.3^{\circ}C

Specific heat of water c = 4200 J/kg/^{\circ}C

From energy conservation

Kinetic energy at the bottom = potential energy at the top

So mc\Delta T=mgh

\Delta T=\frac{gh}{c}=\frac{9.8\times 807}{4200}=1.88^{\circ}C

So temperature at the bottom = 17.3+1.88 = 19.18°C

Which of the following happens during cell division? Question 7 options: It becomes more difficult for the cell to get rid of wa
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer;

B. Each daughter cell receives its own copy of the parent cell's DNA.

Explanation;

Cell division is the process in which a parent cell divides, giving rise to two or more daughter cells. It is an essential biological process in many organisms.

There are two types of cell division. Mitosis is used for growth and repair and produces diploid cells identical to each other and the parent cell. Meiosis is used for sexual reproduction and produces haploid cells different to each other and the parent cell.

If only 10 pounds is required to lift a 500-lb block, how much chain must be played out to lift the engine 3.0 inches?
adelina 88 [10]

Answer:

150 inches (12.5 ft)

Explanation:

The work done to lift the 500 pound block 3 inches should be the same as that to lift the 10 pond object a given distance.

The following is the equation one needs to solve:

10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,500\,lb\,*\,3\,in\\10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\

therefore solving for the distance "x" gives as the answer (in inches):

10 \,lb\,* \,x\,=\,1500\,lb\,in\\x\,=\,\frac{1500\,lb\,in}{10\,lb} \\\\x\,=150\,in

which can also be given in feet as: 12.5 ft

a fast charged particle passes perpendicularly through a thin glass sheet of index of refraction 1.5. The particle emits light i
NeX [460]

The minimum speed of the particle is the Speed of light in glass is c/μ=2×108m/s.

<h3>Why is the refractive index important?</h3>

The higher the refractive index the slower the light travels, which causes a correspondingly increased change in the direction of the light within the material. What this means for lenses is that a higher refractive index material can bend the light more and allow the profile of the lens to be lower.

Refractive index values are usually determined at standard temperature. A higher temperature means the liquid becomes less dense and less viscous, causing light to travel faster in the medium.

An athlete jumping vertically on a trampoline leaves the surface with a velocity of 8.5 m/s upward. what maximum height does she
Mumz [18]
<span>Her center of mass will rise 3.7 meters. First, let's calculate how long it takes to reach the peak. Just divide by the local gravitational acceleration, so 8.5 m / 9.8 m/s^2 = 0.867346939 s And the distance a object under constant acceleration travels is d = 0.5 A T^2 Substituting known values, gives d = 0.5 9.8 m/s^2 (0.867346939 s)^2 d = 4.9 m/s^2 * 0.752290712 s^2 d = 3.68622449 m Rounded to 2 significant figures gives 3.7 meters. Note, that 3.7 meters is how much higher her center of mass will rise after leaving the trampoline. It does not specify how far above the trampoline the lowest part of her body will reach. For instance, she could be in an upright position upon leaving the trampoline with her feet about 1 meter below her center of mass. And during the accent, she could tuck, roll, or otherwise change her orientation so she's horizontal at her peak altitude and the lowest part of her body being a decimeter or so below her center of mass. So it would look like she jumped almost a meter higher than 3.7 meters.</span>
