Answer:

Sodium-vapour lights

Explanation:

Sodium-vapour lights are lights that are a type of gas discharge lamp that uses sodium in a high energy state to produce light,sodium discharge lamps are one of the brightest form of lighting used in motor parks and streets. There are basically two types of sodium-vapour lights, they include the low pressure sodium-vapour lights and the high pressure sodium-vapour lights.

Water is discharged from a pipeline at a velocity v (in ft/sec) given by v = 1306p(1/2), where p is the pressure (in psi). If th

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

$a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

Explanation:

Note that acceleration is the rate change of velocity i.e

$acceleration=\frac{change in velocity}{change in time}\\a=\frac{dv}{dt} \\$ .

Since the velocity is giving as a variable dependent on the pressure, we have to differentiate implicitly both side with respect to time,i.e

$\frac{dv}{dt}=1306*(1/2)p^{-1/2}\frac{dp}{dt} \\$

if we substitute value for the pressure as giving in the question and also since the rate change of pressure is 0.354psi/sec, we have

$a=653*0.1667*0.354\\$

$a=\frac{dv}{dt}=653(36)^{-1/2}*0.354\\ a=38.5 ft/sec^{2}$

estion: Why is it important to use vector quantities and not just scalar quantities to describe the motion of an object? Vector

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

Vector quantities are important in the study of motion. Some examples of vector quantities include force, velocity, acceleration, displacement, and momentum. The difference between a scalar and vector is that a vector quantity has a direction and a magnitude, while a scalar has only a magnitude. Vector, in physics, a quantity that has both magnitude and direction. It is typically represented by an arrow whose direction is the same as that of the quantity and whose length is proportional to the quantity's magnitude. A quantity which does not depend on direction is called a scalar quantity. Vector quantities have two characteristics, a magnitude and a direction. The resulting motion of the aircraft in terms of displacement, velocity, and acceleration are also vector quantities. A vector quantity is different to a scalar quantity because a quantity that has magnitude but no particular direction is described as scalar. A quantity that has magnitude and acts in a particular direction is described as vector.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

82.4 cm

Explanation:

The object and screen are kept fixed ie the distance between them is fixed and by displacing lens between them images are formed on the screen . In the first case let u be the object distance and v be the image distance

then ,

u + v = 184 cm

In the second case of image formation , v becomes u and u becomes v only then image formation in the second case is possible.

The difference between two object distance ie( v - u ) is the distance by which lens is moved so

v - u = 82.4 cm
