We use the formula,

v = \frac{d}{t}.

Here, v is velocity and its value given 26 mi/h ( in m/s,  \frac{26 \times 1.609 \times 10^{3} m}{60 \times 60 s} =11.62 \ m/s ) and d is distance and its value is given 80 m.

Substituting these values in above formula we get,

t = \frac{80 m}{11.62m/s } = 6.88 \ s

Thus, the time delay between green lights on successive blocks to keep the traffic moving continuously is 6.88 s

A snowball is launched horizontally from the top of a building at v = 19.6 m/s. If it lands d = 64 meters from the bottom, how h
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: height of building = 18.8m

Explanation: The question is a projectile motion, a two dimensional motion with a vertical constant acceleration (g = - 9.8m/s²) and a constant horizontal velocity (thus making horizontal component of acceleration zero).

From the question, distance between bottom of building and where the object lands = 64m, initial velocity for throwing the object = 19.6m/s

The horizontal range formulae is given as

d= vt

Where d= horizontal range = 64m, v = initial velocity of throw.

64 = 19.6 × t

t = 64/ 19.6

t = 3.265 s.

Height (h) of the building is gotten by using the formulae

h =vt - 1/2gt²

h = (19.6×3.265) - 1/2×9.8×(3.265)²

h = 71.05 - (104.47/2)

h = 71.05 - 52.235

h = 18.8m

s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

It is located at a distance of 5.94 light years from Earth.

Explanation:

Since light transmitted from the star takes approximately 5.94 years to reach the earth, it means the star is  located at a distance of 5.94 light years from Earth.

13. A transformer has a primary coil with 600 turns and a secondary coil with 300 turns. If the output voltage is 320 volts, wha
vivado [14]
His is a step down transformer since n(primary) is greater than n(seconcary). You relate the input voltage with the ouput voltage with the following equation: 

<span>Vout = n2/n1*Vin (n2/n1 is essentially your 'transfer function' that dictates what a specified input would produce) </span>

<span>Solving the equation: </span>

<span>Vin = Vout*n1/n2 = (320V)*(600/300) = 640 V </span>

<span>This is checked by seeing if Vin is greater than Vout, which it is for a step down transformer.</span>
