Answer: True

Explanation:

Pencils indeed should not be used as tools when working inside a computer because it is made of Lead.

Lead is a conductor of electricity and as such if it is left inside the computer at even miniscule quantities, it can redirect electricity and damage components in the process.

If one wants to work inside a computer, it is best to use tools like tweezers and needle-nose pliers.

A boat heads north at 30 mph while a steamer heads east at 40 mph at the same time. When is the distance between them 50 mi? Ans

Reil [10]

Answer:

1 hour

Explanation:

Speed of the first boat = 30 mph

Speed of the second = 40 mph

The boats will cover different distances but the time taken will be the same.

Time taken by the boats = t

Distance = Speed × Time

Distance covered by the first boat = 30t

Distance covered by the second boat = 40t

Distance between the boats = 50 mi

From the Pythagoras theorem

$\sqrt{(30t)^2+(40t)^2}=50\\\Rightarrow \sqrt{2500t^2}=50\\\Rightarrow 50t=50\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{50}{50}=1\ hour$

Time taken by the boats when they are 50 mi away is 1 hour

A car traveling in a straight line has a velocity of 6m/s at some instant. After 6.32s its velocity is 13.2m/s . What is the ave

NeX [460]

Average acceleration = (change in speed) / (time for the change) .

Average acceleration = (13.2 - 6) / (6.32) = 7.2 / 6.32 = about <em>1.139... m/s²</em> .

The amplitude of a simple harmonic oscillator will be doubled by:a) doubling only the initial speedb) doubling the initial displ

OLEGan [10]

Answer:

When both initial speed and initial displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

Explanation:

Given that :- Amplitude of simple harmonic Oscillator is doubled.

So,

Formula of Simple harmonic oscillator is $X=A\sin\ (2\pi ft +\phi)$ ...........(1)

Where X = Position in (m,cm,km.....)

A = Amplitude in (m,cm,km.....)

F = Frequency in (Hz)

T = Time in (sec.)

Ф = Phase in (rad)

For initial displacement taking t=0 we get,

Initial displacement = $A\sin(\phi)$ .................(2)

Now taking equation (1) and differentiating it w.r.t to (t) we get

$\frac{dx}{dt} = 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

$V= 2\pi fA\cos\ (2\pi ft+\phi)$

taking t=0 for initial speed then we get,

Initial speed = $2\pi fA\cos\phi$ ...............(3)

observing equation (2) & (3) that the initial displacement and initial speed depends on the Amplitude of the Oscillator.

Hence,

when both initial speed and displacement is doubled then amplitude will be doubled.

A 2,000 g quantity of C-14 is left to undergo radioactive decay. The half-life of C-14 is approximately 5,700 years. After going

Katyanochek1 [597]

Start with 2,000 grams.
After 1 half-life, 1,000 grams are left.
After another half-life, 500 are left.
After another half-life, 250 are left.
After another half-life, 125 are left.

That was FOUR half-lifes.
