At some airports there are speed ramps to help passengers get from one place to another. A speed ramp is a moving conveyor belt

on which you can either stand or walk. Suppose a speed ramp has a length of 120 m and is moving at a speed of 2.2 m/s relative to the ground. In addition, suppose you can cover this distance in 72 s when walking on the ground. If you walk at the same rate with respect to the speed ramp that you walk on the ground, how long does it take for you to travel the 120 m using the speed ramp?

Answer:

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m of the ramp.

Explanation:

Hi there!

The equation for the position of an object moving in a straight line is:

x = x0 + v * t

Where:

x = position at time t

x0 = initial position

v = velocity

t = time

In this case, we will consider the start of the ramp as the origin of our reference system so that x0 = 0.

Now, let´s calculate the speed of the person walking on the ground:

x = v * t

120 m = v * 72 s

v = 120 m / 72 s

v = 1.7 m/s

If you walk on the ramp with that speed, your total speed will be your walking speed plus the speed of the ramp because both are in the same direction. Then, using the equation for the position:

x = v * t

In this case, v = speed of the ramp + walking speed

v = 2.2 m/s + 1.7 m/s = 3.9 m/s

120 m = 3.9 m/s * t

t = 120 m / 3.9 m/s = 30.8 s

It will take you 30.8 s to travel the 120 m

Suppose you have two solid bars, both with square cross-sections of 1 cm2. They are both 24.6 cm long, but one is made of copper
vodka [1.7K]

Explanation:

Expression to calculate thermal resistance for iron (R_{I}) is as follows.

             R_{I} = \frac{L_{I}}{k_{I} \times A_{I}}  

where,   L_{I} = length of the iron bar

             k_{I} = thermal conductivity of iron

             A_{I} = Area of cross-section for the iron bar

Thermal resistance for copper (R_{c}) = \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c} \times A_{c}}[/tex]

where,  L_{c} = length of copper bar

             k_{c} = thermal conductivity of copper

            A_{c} = Area of cross-section for the copper bar

Now, expression for the transfer of heat per unit cell is as follows.

           Q = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o}}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}

 Putting the given values into the above formula as follows.

       Q = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{\frac{L_{I}}{k_{I}.A_{I}} + \frac{L_{c}}{k_{c}.A_{c}}}

  = \frac{(100^{o} - 0^{o})}{21 \times 10^{-2} m[\frac{1}{73 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}} + \frac{1}{386 \times 10^{-4}m^{2}}}

           = 2.92 Joule

It is known that heat transfer per unit time is equal to the power conducted through the rod. Hence,

                 P = \frac{Q}{T}

Here, T is 1 second so, power conducted is equal to heat transferred.

So,           P = 2.92 watt

Thus, we can conclude that 2.92 watt power will be conducted through the rod when it reaches steady state.

You observe a plane approaching overhead and assume that its speed is 600 miles per hour. The angle of elevation of the plane is
scZoUnD [109]

Answer:4.34 miles

Explanation:

first  Elevation =19^{\circ}

After 1 minute Elevation changes to 59^{\circ}

Ditsance travelled in 1 minute =600\times \frac{1}{60}=10 mile

Now

tan59=\frac{H}{x}

H=xtan59

tan19=\frac{H}{10+x}

H=\left ( 10+x\right )tan19

Equating H

we get

1.319x=10tan19

x=2.61 miles

H=2.61\times tan59=4.34 miles

Determine the minimum size of glass tubing that can be used to measure water level. If the capillary rise in the tube does not e
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Explanation:

The formula to determine the size of a capillary tube is

h = 2•T•Cos θ / r•ρ•g

Where

h = height of liquid level

T = surface tension

r = radius of capillary tube

ρ = density of liquid

θ = angle of contact = 0°

g =acceleration due to gravity=9.81m/s²

The liquid is water then,

ρ = 1000 kg / m³

Given that,

T = 0.0735 N/m

h = 0.25mm = 0.25 × 10^-3m

Then,

r = 2•T•Cos θ / h•ρ•g

r = 2 × 0.0735 × Cos0 / 2.5 × 10^-3 × 1000 × 9.81

r = 5.99 × 10^-3m

Then, r ≈ 6mm

The radius of the capillary tube is 6mm

So, the minimum size is

Volume = πr²h

Volume = π × 6² × 0.25

V = 2.83 mm³

The minimum size of the capillary tube is 2.83mm³
