Answer:

The height of the package when it was released was 1102.5 meters

Explanation:

A package is dropped from a hovering helicopter

Dropped means the initial velocity of the package is zero

The package takes 15 seconds to strike the ground

Ignore the air resistance

We need to know the height of the package when it was released

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^{2}$ , where h is the height of the package

from the ground, u is the initial velocity, g is the acceleration of gravity

and t is the time

u = 0 , t = 15 seconds , g = 9.8 m/s²

$h=(0)(15)+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)(15)^{2}$

$h=0+1102.5$

h = 1102.5 meters

<em>The height of the package when it was released was 1102.5 meters</em>

Baseball scouts often use a radar gun to measure the speed of a pitch. One particular model of radar gun emits a microwave signa

Firdavs [7]

Since the Units presented are not in the International System we will proceed to convert them. We know that,

$1 mi/h = 0.447 m/s$

So the speed in SI would be

$V=95mi/h(\frac{0.447m/s}{1mi/h})$

$V=42.465 m/s$

The change in frequency when the wave is reflected is

$f'=f(1+\frac{V}{c})$

Or we can rearrange the equation as

$f' = f + f\frac{V}{c}$

f' = Apparent frequency

f = Original Frequency

c = Speed of light

$f'-f = f\frac{V}{c}$

$\Delta f = f\frac{V}{c}$

Replacing,

$\Delta f = (10.525*10^9)(\frac{42.465}{3*10^8})$

$\Delta f =1489.8 Hz$

Since the waves are reflected, hence the change in frequency at the gun is equal to twice the change in frequency

$\Delta f_T = 2 \Delta f$

$\Delta f_T = 2(1489.8Hz)$

$\Delta f_T = 2979.63Hz$

Therefore the increase in frequency is 2979.63Hz

To what temperature will a 79.0 g piece of glass raise if it absorbs 9457 calories of heat and its specific heat capacity is 0.5

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

T_final = 279.4 [°C]

Explanation:

In order to solve this problem, we must use the following equation of thermal energy.

$Q=m*C_{p}*(T_{f}-T_{i})$

where:

Q = heat = 9457 [cal]

m = mass = 79 [g] = 0.079 [kg]

Cp = specific heat = 0.5 [cal/g*°C]

T_initial = initial temperature = 40 [°C]

T_final = final temperature [°C]

$9457 = 79*0.5*(T_{f}-40)\\239.41=T_{f}-40\\\\T_{f}=279.4[C]$

maks197457 [2]

Let the total weight of the body be = x

Let the weight of the heart of the mammals be = y

Now the given percentage of 0.5 %, we will convert it into decimal form,

so this is equal to 0.005 in decimal form,

so the linear equation that gives the heart weight in terms of body weight will be,

y = 0.005x
