For this problem, you should use Pythagorean Theorem.

The formula for this is a^2 + b^2 = c^2.

The plane is moving north, and then moves to the right. Therefore, we need to find the hypotenuse, or resultant velocity. Plugging it into the equation we get, (245 m/s)^2 + (55 m/s)^2 = c^2

Solving for this, you will get 250 m/s.

the temperature of a 2.0-kg increases by 5*c when 2,000 J of thermal energy are added to the block. What is the specific heat of

nata0808 [166]

To calculate the specific heat capacity of an object or substance, we can use the formula

c = E / m△T

Where
c as the specific heat capacity,
E as the energy applied (assume no heat loss to surroundings),
m as mass and
△T as the energy change.

Now just substitute the numbers given into the equation.

c = 2000 / 2 x 5
c = 2000/ 10
c = 200

Therefore we can conclude that the specific heat capacity of the block is 200 Jkg^-1°C^-1

A 4 cm diameter "bobber" with a mass of 3 grams floats on a pond. A thin, light fishing line is tied to the bottom of the bobber

Tasya [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

Calculate the volume of the lead

$V=\frac{m}{d}\\\\=\frac{10g}{11.3g'cm^3}$

Now calculate the bouyant force acting on the lead

$F_L = Vpg$

$F_L=(\frac{10g}{11.3g/cm^3} )(1g/cm^3)(9.8m/s^2)\\\\=8.673\times 10^{-3}N$

This force will act in upward direction

Gravitational force on the lead due to its mass will act in downward direction

Hence the difference of this two force

$T=mg-F_L\\\\=(10\times10^{-3}kg(9.8m/s^2)-8.673\times 10^{-3}\\\\=8.933\times10^{-3}N$

If V is the volume submerged in the water then bouyant force on the bobber is

$F_B=V'pg$

Equate bouyant force with the tension and gravitational force

$F_B=T_mg\\\\V'pg=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg} \\\\V'=\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2}N)+mg}{pg}$

Now Total volume of bobble is

$\frac{V'}{V^B} =\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+Mg}{pg} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi R^3 }\times100\\\\=\frac{\frac{(8.933\times10^{-2})+(3)(9.8)}{(1000)(9.8)} }{\frac{4}{3} \pi (4.0\times10^{-2})^3 }\times100\\\\$

= $\large\boxed{4.52 \%}$

In a few sentences, describe how the thermostat utilizes a bimetallic strip in order to turn a furnace on and off in one or two

Vilka [71]

Answer:

Explanation:

Bimetallic strips are used in thermostats for measuring and controlling temperature. The strip is connected to a switch and as the temperature changes, the strip flexes and opens or closes a contact. They are also used in ovens for measuring temperature. An electromechanical thermostat typically contains either a bi-metal coil or a metal strip. When the temperature changes, this coil or strip will move, causing a vial containing mercury to tip to one side. The mercury flows to one end of the vial, signaling that the heating or cooling needs to be turned on.
