After a big snowfall, you take your favorite rocket‑powered sled out to a wide field. The field is 223 m223 m across, and you kn

ow that your sled accelerates at a rate of 3.25 m/s23.25 m/s2 when the rocket is on. How much time will it take the sled to cross the field starting from rest, assuming the rocket is on the whole time?

Answer:

11.7 s

Explanation:

In this problem, the rocket is moving in a uniform accelerated motion. We have the following data:

d = 223 m, the distance that the sled has to cover

a=3.25 m/s^2, the acceleration of the rocket

We can use therefore the following SUVAT equation:

d=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where

d is the distance

u = 0 is the initial velocity of the sled (it starts from rest)

t is the time

a is the acceleration

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the numbers, we find the time it takes for the rocket to cross the field:

d=\frac{1}{2}at^2\\t=\sqrt{\frac{2d}{a}}=\sqrt{\frac{2(223)}{3.25}}=11.7 s

While walking along the shore of a lake Travis felt a cold breeze. What type of heat energy transfer is this an example of?
AfilCa [17]
Out of the 3 types of heat transfer, this scenario would be most likely to be an example of convection.

Convection is where the transferring of heat is resulted through the movements of fluid, but in this case it is air. What happens is that when a part of the whole mass of air is heated, the hotter air rises and the cooler air descends and takes place of the hotter air before it was heated. Then, the cooler air becomes hotter and the hotter air before becomes the cooler air of both, which then results to the repeat of the exchange of places. This creates a motion until the whole mass has achieved mutual temperature, the heat source has stopped or extinguished, or there is a shift of temperature.

STatiana [176]

Answer:

3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

Explanation:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

A = Area = 1.5 cm²

m = Mass of woman = 51 kg

F = Force = mg

When we divide force by area we get pressure

P=\frac{F}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{mg}{A}\\\Rightarrow P=\frac{51\times 9.81}{1.5\times 10^{-4}}\\\Rightarrow P=3335400\ N/m^2

1\ N/m^2=\frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2

3335400\ N/m^2=3335400\times \frac{1}{6894.757}\ lb/in^2=483.75889\ lb/in^2

The pressure exerted on the floor is 3335400 N/m² or 483.75889 lb/in²

joja [24]

Answer: Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

Explanation: In the 1600s, Boyle measured the volumes of gases at different pressures. Boyle found that when the pressure of a gas at a constant temperature is increased, the volume of the gas decreases. When the pressure of a gas is decreased, the volume increases. This relationship between pressure and volume it's called Boyle's law.

What important factor does the ozone layer serve in earth's atmosphere?
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

The Ozone layer is responsible for the absorption of harmful radiation from the sun before it hits the surface or exterior structure of our planet. It is known to be a belt of a known occurring gas, known as “ozone” which is sealed around the Earth’s atmosphere. It serves as a shield, which absorbs most of the sun’s ultraviolet radiation.
