Answer:

There's one or two reasons, depending on what is meant by "wind-powered car".

The first reason is that it's impossible for any transfer of energy to be 100% efficient.  There will always be frictional losses.

Secondly, if the company means that they want to attach a wind turbine to the car so that the car is powered by the same wind that it generates, that violates the conservation of energy.

The sound level near a noisy air conditioner is 70 dB. If two such units operate side by side, the sound level near them would b
Schach [20]

Answer:

73 db

Explanation:

A single air conditioner is equivalent to 70 dB frequency. An extra air conditioning unit would therefore double the sound frequency. It does not, however, double the decibels to 140 dB. Instead, it adds only 3 dB to the 70 dB, making the total decibels of two air conditioning units equal to 73 db

Hence the correct option is b that is 73 db

Answer:

A comet is cruising through the solar system at a speed of 50,000 kilometers per hour for 4 hours time. What is the total distance traveled by the comet during this time?

✓ Distance = Speed * Time Distance = 50,000 * 4 Distance = 200,000 km. Hope this helps

How much potential energy does a 50-N box have when lifted at a height of 1.5M?
nikitadnepr [17]

The correct answer is: Option (A) 75 J

Explanation:

First, be careful with the units here. As you can see it is mentioned that there is a 50N box. It means that the weight (<em>mg</em>) of the box is given as the unit is <em>Newton</em>, not its mass (which is in kg).

As,

Potential-energy = mass * acceleration-due-to-gravity * height

PE = m*g*h --- (A)


In equation (A), mg is actually the weight of the box, which is given.

mg = 50N

h = height = 1.5m

Plug the values in equation (A):

PE = 50 * 1.5  = <em>75 J (Option A)</em>

A lighthouse is located on a small island, 3 km away from the nearest point on a straight shoreline, and its light makes four re
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

The beam of light is moving at the peed of:

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3} km/min

Given:

Distance from the isalnd, d = 3 km

No. of revolutions per minute, n = 4

Solution:

Angular velocity, \omega = \frac{d\theta'}{dt} = 2\pi n = 2\pi \times 4 = 8\pi    (1)

Now, in the right angle in the given fig.:

tan\theta' = \frac{y}{3}

Now, differentiating both the sides w.r.t t:

\frac{dtan\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

Applying chain rule:

\frac{dtan\theta'}{d\theta'}.\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

sec^{2}\theta'\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt} = (1 + tan^{2}\theta')\frac{d\theta'}{dt}

Now, using tan\theta = \frac{1}{m} and y = 1 in the above eqn, we get:

(1 + (\frac{1}{3})^{2})\frac{d\theta'}{dt} = \frac{dy}{3dt}

Also, using eqn (1),

8\pi\frac{10}{9})\theta' = \frac{dy}{3dt}

\frac{dy}{dt} = \frac{80\pi}{3}
