Answer:

T = 5.36 s

Explanation:

given,

depth of the mine shaft = 122.5 m

speed of the sound = 340 m/s

time taken = ?

time taken by the stone to reach at the bottom

using equation of motion

$s = u t + \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

initial speed , u = 0 m/s

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2s}{g}}$

$t = \sqrt{\dfrac{2\times 122.5}{9.8}}$

t = 5 s

time taken by the sound to travel

d =v x t

$t = \dfrac{d}{v}$

$t = \dfrac{122.5}{340}$

t = 0.36 s

total time taken for the sound to reach carol after dropping the stone

T = 5 + 0.36

T = 5.36 s

(a) Calculate the magnitude of the gravitational force exerted on a 445-kg satellite that is a distance of 1.77 earth radii from

victus00 [196]

Answer:

a)1396.52 N

b)1396.52 N

c) $a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

d) $a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

Explanation:

The force experienced by the satelite is giveb by

$F= \frac{Gm_{satellite}m_{earth}}{r^2} \\$

m_{satellite}= 445 Kg

m_{earth}= 6×10^24 Kg

radius r= 1.77Re= 1.77×6.38×10^6 m

now putting values we get

$F= \frac{6.67\times10^{-11}(445)(6\times10^24)}{(1.77\times6.38\times10^6)^2}$

⇒F= 1396.52 N

now,

$a_{satellite}= \frac{F}{m_{satellite}}$

$a_{satellite}= \frac{1396.52}{445}$

$a_{satellite}= 3.13 m/sec^2$

also,

$a_{earth}= \frac{F}{m_{earth}}$

$a_{earth}= \frac{1396.52}{(6\times10^24)}$

$a_{earth}=2.32\times10^{-22} m/s^2$

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Frequency is $213.04\ s^{-1}.$

Explanation:

Distance between source 1 from the receiver , $S_1 =\sqrt{10^2+22^2}=24.17\ m.$

Distance between source 2 from the receiver , $S_2=\sqrt{5^2+22^2}=22.56\ m.$

Now ,

Path difference , $r = S_1-S_2=24.17-22.56=1.61\ m.$

We know, for constructive interference path difference should be integral multiple of wavelength .

Therefore, $r=n\times \lambda$

It is given that n = 1,

Therefore, $\lambda=1.61\ m.$

Frequency can be found by , $\nu=\dfrac{v}{\lambda}= \dfrac{343}{1.61}= 213.04\ s^{-1} .$

Hence, this is the required solution.

Which is part of an AC generator?

There is no such thing as an AC Generator, if its a generator, its DC. I think you are talking about an AC Alternator, in which case the answer would be -wrong answer, deleted-

Why are viruses hard to fight

ki77a [65]

Answer:Compared to other pathogens, such as bacteria, viruses are minuscule. And because they have none of the hallmarks of living things — a metabolism or the ability to reproduce on their own, for example — they are harder to target with drugs.
