In a choir practice room, two parallel walls are 5.70 m apart. The singers stand against the north wall. The organist faces the
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

4.98 m

Explanation:

Given that

Width of the mirror, d = 0.6 m

Organist distance to the mirror, s = 0.78 m

Distance between the singer and the organist, S = 5.7 + 0.78 = 6.48 m

Width of north wall, D?

Using the simple relationship

D/S = d/s, on rearranging

D = dS /s

D = (0.6 * 6.48) / 0.78

D = 3.888 / 0.78

D = 4.98 m

Therefore, we can conclude that the Width of north wall is 4.98 m

A light rope is attached to a block with mass 3.60 kg that rests on a frictionless, horizontal surface. The horizontal rope pass
Readme [11.4K]

Answer and Explanation:

(a) The fre-body diagrams for each block is shown below. In the block of mass 3.60 kg, there are 3 forces acting on it: horizontal force due to the rope (F_{t}), vertical gravitational force (F_{g}) and vertical normal force (F_{n}), due to the surface. Since there is no vertical movement, F_{g} and F_{n} cancels it out. So, for this block, net force is horizontal due to the rope F_{t}.

The block of mass m is hanging from the pulley, so there is the force of the rope (F_{t}) and the gravitational force (F_{g}). Both are vertical, because there is no surface "holding" block m.

(b) Since both blocks are attached to each other, the acceleration will be the same. To calculate it, we use the Second Law of Motion:

F_{r}=m.a

a=\frac{F_{r}}{m}

a=\frac{18.8}{3.6}

a = 5.22

The acceleration of either block is 5.22 m/s².

(c) Block m has 2 forces acting on it: tension and gravitational force. Gravitational force is the force of attraction the Earth does over an object. It is calculated as the product of mass and gravitational acceleration, which has magnitude g = 9.8 m/s².

Suppose positive referential is going up. To determine mass:

F_{r}=m.a

F_{t}-F_{g}=m.a

F_{t}-m.g=m.a

18.8-9.8m=5.22m

15.02m=18.8

m = 1.25

Block m has 1.25 kg.

(d) Gravitational force is also called weight. So, as described above: F_{g}=m.g.

The weight for the hanging block is

F_{g}=1.25*9.8

F_{g}= 12.25 N

Comparing tension and weight:

\frac{12.25}{18.8} ≈ 0.65

We can see that, weight of the hanging block is almost 0.65 times smaller than the tension on the rope.

Determine which heat transfers below are due to the process of conduction. I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns y
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Explanation:

In conduction mode of heat transfer we know that the energy is transferred from one system to other system due to direct contact of two bodies

Here due to this direct contact the energy is transferred via a given solid or liquid medium

In this type of heat transfer medium particles will remain in its own position only the energy is transferred.

So here we can say the correct answer will be

I) You walk barefoot on the hot street and it burns your toes.

II) When you get into a car with hot black leather in the middle of the summer and your skin starts to get burned.

Why echo sound cannot be heard in small room
Art [367]
They can't hear an echo in small room because in it the sound can't be reflected back. For an echo of a sound to be heard,the minimum distance between the source of sound and the walls of the roomshould be 17.2 m. Obviously,in asmall room echoes cannot beheard.

A locomotive accelerates a 25-car train along a level track. Every car has a mass of 7.7 ✕ 104 kg and is subject to a friction f
MaRussiya [10]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to Force of Friction and Tension between the two bodies.

In this way,

The total mass of the cars would be,

m_T = 25(7.7*10^4)Kg

m_T = 1.925*10^6Kg

Therefore the friction force at 29Km / h would be,

f=250v

f= 250*29Km/h

f = 250*29*(\frac{1000m}{1km})(\frac{1h}{3600s})

f = 2013.889N

In this way the tension exerts between first car and locomotive is,

T=m_Ta+f

T=(1.925*10^6)(0.2)+2013.889

T= 3.8701*10^5N

Therefore the tension in the coupling between the car and the locomotive is 3.87*10^5N
