Answer:

$\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t$

Explanation:

Represent the car's position as a function

$x_o=$ "head start"

$x_{A}(t) = x_{o} + v_{A}t\\x_B(t)=v_Bt \\$

$Remember: v_B>v_A$

"cathching up means" that $x_A(t)=x_B(t)$

$x_{o} + v_{A}t =v_Bt\\x_{o} = v_Bt -v_{A}t\\x_{o} = t(v_B-V_A)\\\frac{x_{o}}{v_B-V_A} =t, where \ v_B>v_A$

A heater is being designed that uses a coil of 14-gauge nichrome wire to generate 300 W using a voltage of V = 110 V . How long

Mazyrski [523]

Answer:

The length of the wire is 83.2 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Power of heater, P = 300 W

Voltage, V = 110 V

The resistivity of nichrome wire is, $\rho=100\times 10^{-8}\ \Omega-m$

The electric power of a wire is given by :

$P=\dfrac{V^2}{R}\\\\R=\dfrac{V^2}{P}\\\\R=\dfrac{(110)^2}{300}\\\\R=40.34\ \Omega$

Area of cross section of the wire is :

$A=\pi r^2\\\\A=\pi (0.000815)^2\\\\A=2.08\times 10^{-6}\ m^2$

Resistance of a material is given by :

$R=\rho \dfrac{L}{A}\\\\L=\dfrac{RA}{\rho}\\\\L=\dfrac{40\times 2.08\times 10^{-6}}{10^{-6}}\\\\L=83.2\ m$

So, the length of the wire is 83.2 m. Hence, this is the required solution.

The speed of sound in aluminum is 5200 m/s. Can you hear a sound with a

romanna [79]

Answer:

v = wavelength * frequency

frequency = 5200 m/s / .2 m = 26000 / sec

20,000 / sec is optimistic for the upper frequency of human hearing

So 26,000 is above the hearing range for human ears
