Answer:

See the explanation below

Explanation:

This problem can be better understood graphically, so in the attached image we will use a diagram of a positive displacement air pump.

We can see that when she pushes the plunger, we see that the volume decreases.

Lana71 [14]
<span>To begin, the mouse walks from 5 to 12 cm, for a displacement of 7 cm. Next, it walks 8 cm in the opposite direction, for a total displacement of (7 + [-8]) or (-1) cm. This leaves the mouse on 4 cm, and then it walks from there to the 7cm location, for a displacement of 7-4 or +3 cm. Adding 3cm to -1cm gives a final displacement of +2cm.</span>

Two concrete spans of a 380 m long bridge are
Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

4.163 m

Explanation:

Since the length of the bridge is

L = 380 m

And the bridge consists of 2 spans, the initial length of each span is

L_i = \frac{L}{2}=\frac{380}{2}=190 m

Due to the increase in temperature, the length of each span increases according to:

L_f = L_i(1+ \alpha \Delta T)

where

L_i = 190 m is the initial length of one span

\alpha =1.2\cdot 10^{-5} ^{\circ}C^{-1} is the temperature coefficient of thermal expansion

\Delta T=20^{\circ}C is the increase in temperature

Substituting,

L_f=(190)(1+(1.2\cdot 10^{-5})(20))=190.0456 m

By using Pythagorean's theorem, we can find by how much the height of each span rises due to this thermal expansion (in fact, the new length corresponds to the hypothenuse of a right triangle, in which the base is the original length of the spand, and the rise in heigth is the other side); so we find:

h=\sqrt{L_f^2-L_i^2}=\sqrt{(190.0456)^2-(190)^2}=4.163 m

7. A car moving at 10m/s (about 22.4 mph) crashes into a barrier and stops in 0.25 m.
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) 0.05s

b) 4000N

Explanation:

a)When car is stopped its final velocity become zero

U- 10 m/s

V- 0 m/s

S - 0.25 m

t -?

S = (v+u)*t/2

0.25 =(10+0)*t/2

t = 0.05s

b) If we happened to calculate the avarage force we have to consider about acceleration

V= 0

U = 10

t = 0.05 s

a =?

V = U + at

0 = 10 -a * 0.05

a = 200 m/s2

F = m *a

= 20 * 200

= 4000N

What is your speed (in m/s) if you walk 1000m in 20 minutes? (Hint: how many seconds are in a minute)
labwork [276]

Answer:

20min = 20 × 60 = 1200sec.

Speed in m per sec.

V = 1000/1200

V = 0.833m per sec.

After release of jet, energy is lost by the engine. How principle of conservation of energy is obeyed in this condition.​
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

The principle of conservation of energy states that in a closed system, the energy can neither be created nor destroyed between interacting particles and remains constant or transformed from one form to another

In the jet engine, the release of jet changes the number of interacting particles in the engine, and given that energy cannot be created in the instantaneously closed system of the engine, energy is carried away and therefore lost by particles in the jet exhaust

The conservation of energy principle is therefore obeyed in the condition in which the jet engine losses energy by the release of jet
