Assume the population of a large city like New York City is about 4 × 10^6 people, with about 1.97 people per household. Approxi

mately 1 household in 16.1 has a piano. The piano keyboard has about 64 notes (8 octaves) with about 2 strings per note. A piano should be tuned once per year (365.25 days). A piano tuner can tune about 3 pianos per day. And, finally, pianos tuners work 250 days per year. How many pianos tuners are there in New York City?

So here are the given information:

4 x 10^6 people 

1.97 people = 1 household 

16.1 households = 1 piano 


1 piano = 1 tuning/year 

1 tuner = 3 tunings/working day 

<span>1 year = 250  working days </span>


Multiplying everything: 

4 x 10^6 people x (1 household/1.97 people) x (1 piano/16.1 households) = 126115.33 pianos in NYC 

126115.33 pianos x (1 (tuning/year)/1 piano) x (1 year/250 working days) x (1 working day/3 pianos/tuner) = 168.15 tuners 


<span>Therefore about 168 piano tuners in NYC.</span>

What causes an electric current in a wire?
Rina8888 [55]
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option B. It is the electrons that  flow because of electrical attraction and repulsion causes an electric current in a wire. Electrons, which continuously move in wire, are called Electric Current. Hope this answers the question.

A ball with 100 J of PE is released from a height of 10 m. What will be the KE of the ball at 5
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

The kinetic energy is: 50[J]

Explanation:

The ball is having a potential energy of 100 [J], therefore

PE = [J]

The elevation is 10 [m], and at this point the ball is having only potential energy, the kinetic energy is zero.

E_{p} =m*g*h\\where:\\g= gravity[m/s^{2} ]\\m = mass [kg]\\m= \frac{E_{p} }{g*h}\\ m= \frac{100}{9.81*10}\\\\m= 1.01[kg]\\\\

In the moment when the ball starts to fall, it will lose potential energy and the potential energy will be transforme in kinetic energy.

When the elevation is 5 [m], we have a potential energy of

P_{e} =m*g*h\\P_{e} =1.01*9.81*5\\\\P_{e} = 50 [J]\\

This energy is equal to the kinetic energy, therefore

Ke= 50 [J]

jet is flying at 500 mph east relative to the ground. A Cessna is flying at 150 mph 60° north of west relative to the ground. Wh
Greeley [361]

Answer:

C. 590 mph

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph

Explanation:

Given:

  • velocity of jet, v_j=500\ mph
  • direction of velocity of jet, east relative to the ground
  • velocity of Cessna, v_c=150\ mph
  • direction of velocity of Cessna, 60° north of west

Taking the x-axis alignment towards east and hence we have the velocity vector of the jet as reference.

Refer the attached schematic.

So,

\vec v_j=500\ \hat i\ mph

&

\vec v_c=150\times (\cos120\ \hat i+\sin120\ \hat j)

\vec v_c=-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the vector of relative velocity of Cessna with respect to jet:

\vec v_{cj}=\vec v_j-\vec v_c

\vec v_{cj}=500\ \hat i-(-75\ \hat i+75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j )

\vec v_{cj}=575\ \hat i-75\sqrt{3}\ \hat j\ mph

Now the magnitude of this velocity:

\vert v_{cj}\vert=\sqrt{(575)^2+(75\sqrt{3} )^2}

\vert v_{cj}\vert=589.49\ mph is the relative velocity of Cessna with respect to the jet.
