-- First, we need to know how many total sockets there are in the auditorium.

(75 chandeliers) x (12 sockets/chandelier) = 900 sockets

-- Now, in order to fill 900 sockets, we'll need 900 bulbs.

(900 bulbs) / (4 bulbs/box) = 225 boxes

If all the bulbs we buy are good ones, and we don't drop any while we're installing them, then we can just exactly do the job with <em>225 boxes</em>.

You are designing an elevator for a hospital. The force exerted on a passenger by the floor of the elevator is not to exceed 1.7

HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

5.62 m/s

Explanation:

Newton's law of motion can be used to determine the maximum speed of the elevator. In the question, we are given:

Force exerted by the elevator (R) = 1.7 times the weight of the passenger (m*g)

Thus: R = 1.7*m*g

Distance (s) = 2.3 m

Newton's second law of motion: R - m*g = m*a

1.7*m*g - m*g = m*a

a = 0.7*m*g/m = 0.7*g = 0.7*9.8 = 6.86 m/s²

To determine the maximum speed:

$v^{2} _{f} = v^{2} _{i} + 2as$ $= 0 + 2(6.86)(2.3) = 31.556$

$v_{f} = \sqrt{31.556} = 5.62 m/s$

Therefore, the elevator maximum speed is equivalent to 5.62 m/s.

As SCUBA divers go deeper underwater, the pressure from the weight of all the water above them increases tremendously which comp

faltersainse [42]

Answer: The volume of gas expands because of the decrease in pressure as he tries to exit the water body, therefore he must take necessary precaution.

Explanation:

Using Boyle's law which states that the the pressure of a given mass of an ideal gas is inversely proportional to its volume at a constant temperature

ie P1VI=P2V2

A diver absorbs compressed nitrogen gas when he dives into the water body, As he ascends out of the water body having less pressure, the volume of nitrogen gas which he absorbs will tend to expand following Boyle's Law. Therefore a scuba driver should not rises quickly but slowly to the surface or else the expanding nitrogen gas can cause tiny bubbles in his blood and tissue to form together with joints pains and eventually cause decompression sickness needing medical attention.

user100 [1]

The three phases of matter differ in properties just because of the proximity of their molecules. The solid phase is the most organized of all. Its atoms are compactly arranged together and has the strongest intermolecular forces to keep them together. This is why they have a definite shape and volume. The liquid phase have molecules that are far away from each other, but not as far as that of the gas phase. The liquid and gas phases can be lumped into one group called fluids because they have the same property - they take the shape and volume of their container.

To make an analogy, see the attached picture for your reference.
