About once every 30 minutes, a geyser known as Old Faceful projects water 11.0 m straight up into the air. Use g = 9.80 m/s^2, a

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

Explanation:

Given that,

Time = 30 minutes

Distance = 11.0 m

Pressure = 101.3 kPa

Density of water = 1000 kg/m³

We need to calculate the speed of the water

Using equation of motion

$v^2=u^2+2gs$

Where, u = speed of water

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Put the value into the formula

$0=u^2-2\times9.8\times11.0$

$u=\sqrt{2\times9.8\times11.0}$

$u=14.68\ m/s$

Hence, The speed of the water is 14.68 m/s.

A bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

93 km/h

Explanation:

Given that a bus took 8 hours to travel 639 km. For the first 5 hours, it travelled at an average speed of 72 km/h

Let the first 5 hours journey distance = F

From the formula of speed,

Speed = distance/time

Substitute speed and time

72 = F/5

F = 72 × 5 = 360 km

The remaining distance will be:

639 - 360 = 279km

The remaining time will be:

8 - 5 = 3 hours

Speed = 279/3

Speed = 93 km/h

Therefore, the average speed for the remaining time of the journey is equal to 93 km/h

Suppose the three resistors in the picture represents a 240 W

Airida [17]

A fuse is an electrical safety device which should not blow, which should overheat and melts if current is too high. Its placed in the live wire before the switch. This prevents overheating and catching fire. A fuse have a specific current value for example - 3000 amps. So when choosing a suitable fuse you must use the above minimum value but less than maximum value. For example in a circuit there is 1000W flowing, you should choose more than 1000 amps fuse not less or else, it will melt.

A uniform rod is 2.0 m long. The rod is pivoted about a horizontal, frictionless pin through one end. The moment of inertia of t

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

Angular acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately, Angular acceleration =

6.4 rad/sec²

Explanation:

Length of the rod = 2.0m long

Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

Mass of the rod is not given so we would refer to it as = M

Rotational Inertia of the Rod(I) = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration = ?

There is an equation that shows us the relationship between Torque and Angular acceleration.

The equation is :

Torque(T) = Inertia × Angular Acceleration

Angular acceleration = Torque ÷ Inertia

Where:

Torque = L/2(MgCosθ)

Where M = Mass

L = Length = 2.0m

θ = Inclination of the rod (horizontal) = 30°

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81m/s²

Inertia = 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration = (Mass × g × Cos (30°) × (L÷2)) ÷ 1/3ML²

Angular Acceleration =

(3 × g × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = (3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× L

Angular Acceleration = 3 × 9.81m/s² × cos 30°) ÷ 2× 2.0m

Angular Acceleration = 6.37rad/sec²

Approximately Angular Acceleration =

6.4rad/sec²
