Answer:

Cape Point lighthouse

Explanation:

The lighthouse is located South of Cape Town, at a point where boats turn to go around the tip of Africa.

The new lighthouse has the most powerful light of all the lighthouses in South Africa, with a power of 10 megacandelas.  That's why it's being visible for up to 63 km around.

It's a very important lighthouse helping to conduct the traffic around dangerous waters where 2 oceans meet.

If the torque required to loosen the nut that is holding a flat tire in a place on a car has a magnitude of 35 N•m what minimum
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer: F = 130 N

Explanation: Solution:

Convert first 27 cm to m.

27 cm  x 0.01 m / 1 cm = 0.27 m

Calculate the torque using T = Fd

Derive to find force F

F = T /d

  = 35 N.m / 0.27 m

  = 130 N

A resistor is connected in series with an AC source that provides a sinusoidal voltage of v of t is equal to V times cosine of b
nekit [7.7K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

In circuits, the average power is defined as the average of the instantaneous power  over one period. The instantaneous power can be found as:

p(t)=v(t)i(t)

So the average power is:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}p(t)dt

But:

v(t)=v_{m}cos(\omega t) \\ \\ i(t)=i_{m}cos(\omega t)

So:

P=\frac{1}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}v_{m}cos(\omega t)i_{m}cos(\omega t)dt \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}cos^{2}(\omega t)dt \\ \\ But: cos^{2}(\omega t)=\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2}

P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}(\frac{1+cos(2\omega t)}{2} )dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}\intop_{0}^{T}[\frac{1}{2}+\frac{cos(2\omega t)}{2}]dt \\\\P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{T}[\frac{1}{2}(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{4\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2T}[(t)\right|_0^T +\frac{sin(2\omega t)}{2\omega} \right|_0^T] \\ \\ P=\frac{v_{m}i_{m}}{2}

In terms of RMS values:

V_{RMS}=V=\frac{v_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ I_{RMS}=I=\frac{i_{m}}{\sqrt{2}} \\ \\ Then: \\ \\ P=VI

What measures the amount of displacement in a transverse wave
MAVERICK [17]
Unlike a longitudinal wave, a transverse wave moves about, perpendicular to the direction of propagation. The particles in a transverse wave do not travel along the direction of propagation, but only oscillate up and down on its equilibrium position. With this, the displacement can be determined by measuring (in the case of electronic waves, using an oscilloscope or spectrum analyzer) and setting the desired units to measure the wave in.

A girl on a spinning amusements park is 12m from the center of the ride and has a centripetal acceleration of 17 m/s^2. What is
Tanya [424]

Answer: 14.28 m/s

Explanation:

Assuming the girl is spinning with <u>uniform circular motion</u>, her centripetal acceleration a_{c} is given by the following equation:  

a_{c}=\frac{V^{2}}{r} (1)

Where:  

a_{c}=17 m/s^{2} is the <u>centripetal acceleration</u>

V is the<u> tangential speed</u>

r=12 m is the <u>radius</u> of the circle

Isolating V from (1):

V=\sqrt{a_{c}r} (2)

V=\sqrt{(17 m/s^{2})(12 m)}

<u />

Finally:

V=14.28 m/s This is the girl's tangential speed
