Answer:

she need to use 20 cm thick

Explanation:

given data

wants the attic insulated = R-30

purchased = 10 cm thick

solution

as per given we can say that

10 cm is for the R 15

but she want for R 30

so  

R 30 thickness = \frac{30}{15} \times 10  

R 30 thickness = 20 cm

so she need to use 20 cm thick

Freight trains can produce only relatively small acceleration and decelerations. (a) what is the final velocity (in m/s) of a fr
m_a_m_a [10]
(a) We will use the equation v = u + at
Initial velocity u = 5.00 m/s 
Acceleration a = 0.0600 m/s² 
time = 8 min = 8 x 60 = 480 s 
Final velocity 
= u + at 
= 5.00 + 0.0600(480) 
= 33.8 m/s

The final velocity is 33.8 m/s

The speed of light in air is 3.0 x 10^8 m/s. The speed of light in particular glass is 2.3 x 10^8 m/s. Use the information to de
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

33.61°

Explanation:

Refractive index is equal to velocity of the light 'c' in empty space divided by the velocity 'v' in the substance.

Or ,

n = c/v.

v is the velocity in the medium  (2.3 × 10⁸ m/s)

c is the speed of light in air = 3.0 × 10⁸ m/s

So,  

n = 3.0 × 10⁸ /  2.3 × 10⁸

n = 1.31

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 25.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( ? )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (air, n=1)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (glass, n=1.31)

Hence,  

1.31\times {sin25.0^0}={1}\times{sin\theta_r}

Angle of refraction = sin^{-1}0.5536 = 33.61°

Calculate the acceleration of a turtle going from 0.3 m/s to 0.7 m/s in 30 seconds.
Hoochie [10]
Acceleration = velocity/ time
Acceleration = 0.7-0.3 /30= 0.01 m/s^2
Notice that velocity is calculated the final speed minus the initial !

A solenoid has 100 turns per cm and a total resistance of 60 Ω center of the solenoid when it is connected to a 12 volt battery
charle [14.2K]

Answer:

2.5 x 10^-3 T

Explanation:

n = 100 turns / cm = 10000 turns / m, R = 60 ohm, V = 12 V

i = V / R = 12 / 60 = 0.2 A

Magnetic field due to solenoid is

B = μ0 x n x i

B = 4 x 3.14 x 10^-7 x 10000 x 0.2

B = 2.5 x 10^-3 T

A cable might experience crosstalk, where the electrical signal bleeds from one wire pair to another, creating __________.
DochEvi [55]
A cable might experience crosstalk, where the electrical signal bleeds from one wire pair to another, creating interference. 
Interference is the process in which two or more waves such as light, sound or electromagnetic waves of the same frequency combine to reinforce or cancel each other, the amplitude of the resulting wave being equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the combining waves.
