Alan leaves Los Angeles at 8:00 A.M. to drive to San Francisco 400 mi away. He manages to travel at a steady 50 mph in spite of

traffic. Beth leaves Los Angeles at 9:00 A.M. and surprisingly manages to also drive at a constant speed, in this case 60 mph. (Knight 2.1) a. Who gets to San Francisco first? (Beth) b. How long does the first to arrive have to wait for the second? (20 minutes)

Answer:

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

Explanation:

let 'd' be distance b/w Los Angeles and San  Francisco i.e 400 mi

considering ,

Alan's speed v_A=50mph

Beth's speed v_B=60mph

->For Alan:

The time required t_A= d/v_A= 400/50 => 8h

-> For beth:

The time required t_B=\frac{d}{v_B} =\frac{400}{60} =>6\frac{2}{3} h => 6h 40m

Alan will reach at 8:00 a.m +8h = 4:00p.m.

Beth will reach at 9:00 a.m +6h 40m= 3:40p.m.

a) Beth will reach before Alan

b)Beth has to wait 20 min for Alan to arrive

Compare and contrast electric motors and generators.
Marrrta [24]
Electric motors require electricity to move the motor parts and do work (like an electric fan).

Elecgric generators actually burn diesel fuel to spin a motor around and around and around to GENERATE, or MAKE, electricity that you can then use to power your fans and lights in your house.

an athlete in a hammer-throw event swings a 7.0-kilogram hammer in a horizontal circle at a constant speed of 12 meters per seco
Semenov [28]

Answer:

ac = 72 m/s²

Fc = 504 N

Explanation:

We can find the centripetal acceleration of the hammer by using the following formula:

a_c = \frac{v^2}{r}

where,

ac = centripetal acceleration = ?

v = constant speed = 12 m/s

r = radius = 2 m

Therefore,

a_c = \frac{(12\ m/s)^2}{2\ m}

<u>ac = 72 m/s²</u>

<u></u>

Now, the centripetal force applied by the athlete on the hammer will be:

F_c = ma_c\\F_c = (7\ kg)(72\ m/s^2)

<u>Fc = 504 N</u>

Compare the benefits of wildfires to grasslands, northern forests, and deciduous forests.
Dimas [21]
Wildfires benefit grasslands, northern forests, and deciduous forests. Grasslands are benefited by improved soil quality and control of tree cover. Invertebrate species diversity is maintained through wildfire as well. Northern forests, like grasslands, experience increased production and nutritional quality of food as a result of wildfires. Deciduous forests experience an increase in the nutritional quality of food as well, but the effects are more temporary. The amount of shrubs in deciduous forests is reduced as a result of wildfires, allowing more herbaceous plants such as mosses and lichens to grow.

Based on the second law of thermodynamics, how would you expect a system to change over time?
deff fn [24]

B. It's randomness would increase

Because the Second Law of Thermodynamics states that as energy is transferred or transformed, more and more of it is wasted. It also states that there is a natural tendency of any isolated system to degenerate into a more disordered state.

 Keisha follows the instructions for a demonstration on gas laws.
 1. Place a small marshmallow in a large plastic syringe.
 2. Cap the syringe tightly.
 3. Pull the plunger back to double the volume of gas in the syringe.

Now, this activity is being done at the same temperature, because there is no mention of the temperature change.  Thus, when the plunger is pulled back, the volume doubles, so pressure will decrease. Therefore, </span>This is a demonstration of Boyle’s law. As the volume increases, the pressure decreases, and the marshmallow will grow larger.
