A pressure cooker is a pot whose lid can be tightly sealed to prevent gas from entering or escaping. even without knowing how bi

g the pressure cooker is, or what altitude it is being used at, we can make predictions about how much force the lid will experience under different conditions.

Even without knowing the size of the pressure cooker or the altitude at which the pressure cooker will be used, we can easily determine the force on the lid by experience because just as boiling water, the amount of pressure inside the vessel (in this case, the cooker) increases as the temperature increases.

An electric iron operating at 120 volts draws 10. amperes of current. how much heat energy
faltersainse [42]
The complete question is how much heat energy is delivered by the iron in 30 seconds.
Heat is given by IVt, Where I is the current in Amperes, V is the voltage, and t is the time in seconds,
Therefore; 
Heat energy = 120 × 10 ×30
                     = 36000 joules or 36 kJ
Heat energy is measured in joules.

A man walks along a straight path at a speed of 4 ft/s. A searchlight is located on the ground 6 ft from the path and is kept fo
BARSIC [14]

We are given that,

\frac{dx}{dt} = 4ft/s

We need to find \frac{d\theta}{dt} when x=8ft

The equation that relates x and \theta can be written as,

\frac{x}{6} tan\theta

x = 6tan\theta

Differentiating each side with respect to t, we get,

\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{dx}{d\theta} \cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{dx}{dt} = (6sec^2\theta)\cdot \frac{d\theta}{dt}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6sec^2\theta} \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}

Replacing the value of the velocity

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{1}{6} cos^2\theta (4)^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} cos^2\theta

The value of cos \theta could be found if we know the length of the beam. With this value the equation can be approximated to the relationship between the sides of the triangle that is being formed in order to obtain the numerical value. If this relation is known for the value of x = 6ft, the mathematical relation is obtained. I will add a numerical example (although the answer would end in the previous point) If the length of the beam was 10, then we would have to

cos\theta = \frac{6}{10}

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{8}{3} (\frac{6}{10})^2

\frac{d\theta}{dt} = \frac{24}{25}

Search light is rotating at a rate of 0.96rad/s

A train whistle is heard at 300 Hz as the train approaches town. The train cuts its speed in half as it nears the station, and t
givi [52]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to the Doppler effect. The Doppler effect is the change in the perceived frequency of any wave movement when the emitter, or focus of waves, and the receiver, or observer, move relative to each other. Mathematically it can be described as,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

Here,

f_0 = Frequency of Source

v_s = Speed of sound

f = Frequency heard before slowing down

f' = Frequency heard after slowing down

v  = Speed of the train before slowing down

So if the speed of the train after slowing down will be v/2, we can do a system equation of 2x2 at the two moments, then,

The first equation is,

f = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v})

300 = f_0 (\frac{343}{343-v})

(300*343) - 300v = 343f_0

Now the second expression will be,

f' = f_0 (\frac{v_0}{v_0-v/2})

290 = (343)(\frac{v_0}{343-v/2})

290*343-145v = 343f_0

Dividing the two expression we have,

\frac{(300*343) - 300v}{290*343-145v} = 1

Solving for v, we have,

v = 22.12m/s

Therefore the speed of the train before and after slowing down is 22.12m/s
