How many cubic feet are in a 55-gallon drum?

1 answer:

5 0

1 gallon = 231 cubic inches
1 cubic foot = 1728 cubic inches

   (55 gal) x (231 in³/gal) x (1 ft³/1728 in³)

   = (55 x 231 / 1728) ft³

   = 7.352 cubic feet (rounded)

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all __________ waves because they __________.

algol [13]

Answer:

a. mechanical; require a medium to travel through

Explanation:

Longitudinal, transverse and surface waves are types of mechanical waves. For example, within the longitudinal waves are the sound waves, which needs a medium to propagate like the air. This is why sound does not travel in a vacuum.

And an example of a transverse wave is the waves that form in the water when a rock is thrown (ripples), these waves need a medium (the water) to propagate.

On the other hand, electromagnetic waves such as light waves do not need a medium to propagate, this is why we can see the light of distant stars because their light travels through the vacuum until it reaches us.

So, the answer is:

Transverse, surface, and longitudinal waves are all mechanical waves because they require a medium to travel through .

A swimmer bounces straight up from a diving board and falls feet first into a pool. She starts with a velocity of 4.00 m/s, and

garri49 [273]

Answer:

(a) t = 1.14 s

(b) h = 0.82 m

Explanation:

(b)

Considering the upward motion, we apply the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2 - v_i^2$

where,

g = - 9.8 m/s² (-ve sign for upward motion)

h = max height reached = ?

vf = final speed = 0 m/s

vi = initial speed = 4 m/s

Therefore,

$(2)(9.8\ m/s^2)h = (0\ m/s)^2-(4\ m/s)^2\\$

h = 0.82 m

Now, for the time in air during upward motion we use first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\0\ m/s = 4\ m/s + (-9.8\ m/s^2)t_1\\t_1 = 0.41\ s$

(c)

Now we will consider the downward motion and use the third equation of motion:

$2gh = v_f^2-v_i^2$

where,

h = total height = 0.82 m + 1.8 m = 2.62 m

vi = initial speed = 0 m/s

g = 9.8 m/s²

vf = final speed = ?

Therefore,

$2(9.8\ m/s^2)(2.62\ m) = v_f^2 - (0\ m/s)^2\\$

vf = 7.17 m/s

Now, for the time in air during downward motion we use the first equation of motion:

$v_f = v_i + gt_1\\7.17\ m/s = 0\ m/s + (9.8\ m/s^2)t_2\\t_2 = 0.73\ s$

(a)

Total Time of Flight = t = t₁ + t₂

t = 0.41 s + 0.73 s

t = 1.14 s

zepelin [54]

Answer:

You are asked to design a cylindrical steel rod 50.0 cm long, with a circular cross section, that will conduct 170.0 J/s from a furnace at 350.0 ∘C to a container of boiling water under 1 atmosphere.

Explanation:

Given Values:

L = 50 cm = 0.5 m

H = 170 j/s

To find the diameter of the rod, we have to find the area of the rod using the following formula.

Here Tc = 100.0° C

k = 50.2

H = k × A × $\frac{[T_{H -}T_{C} ] }{L}$
