Answer:

the distance between the lawyer's home and her office is 124 miles

Explanation:

given information:

first lets assume that

x-axis (west = positive, east = negative)

y-axis (north = positive, south = negative)

thus,

distance of the house = (-88,18)

distance of the office = (13, -54)

thus, the distance between the lawyer's home and her office

R = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

= √(13 - (-88))² + (-54 -18)²

= 124 miles

A string under a tension of 50.4 N is used to whirl a rock in a horizontal circle of radius 2.51 m at a speed of 21.1 m/s. The s

Leokris [45]

Answer:

619.8 N

Explanation:

The tension in the string provides the centripetal force that keeps the rock in circular motion, so we can write:

$T=m\frac{v^2}{r}$

where

T is the tension

m is the mass of the rock

v is the speed

r is the radius of the circular path

At the beginning,

T = 50.4 N

v = 21.1 m/s

r = 2.51 m

So we can use the equation to find the mass of the rock:

$m=\frac{Tr}{v^2}=\frac{(50.4)(2.51)}{21.1^2}=0.284 kg$

Later, the radius of the string is decreased to

r' = 1.22 m

While the speed is increased to

v' = 51.6 m/s

Substituting these new data into the equation, we find the tension at which the string breaks:

$T'=m\frac{v'^2}{r'}=(0.284)\frac{(51.6)^2}{1.22}=619.8 N$

The barometric pressure at sea level is 30 in of mercury when that on a mountain top is 29 in. If the specific weight of air is

stealth61 [152]

To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to pressure, depending on the product between the density of the fluid, the gravity and the depth / height at which it is located.

For mercury, density, gravity and height are defined as

$\rho_m = 846lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_1 = 1in = \frac{1}{12} ft$

For the air the defined properties would be

$\rho_a = 0.0075lb/ft^3$

$g = 32.17405ft/s^2$

$h_2 = ?$

We have for equilibrium that

$\text{Pressure change in Air}=\text{Pressure change in Mercury}$

$\rho_m g h_1 = \rho_a g h_2$

Replacing,

$(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) = (0.0075)(32.17405)(h_2)$

Rearranging to find $h_2$

$h_2 = \frac{(846)(32.17405)(\frac{1}{12}) }{(0.0075)(32.17405)}$

$h = 9400ft$

Therefore the elevation of the mountain top is 9400ft

Write an expression for a harmonic wave with an amplitude of 0.19 m, a wavelength of 2.6 m, and a period of 1.2 s. The wave is t

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})$

Explanation:

As we know that the wave equation is given as

$y = A sin(\omega t - k x + \phi_0)$

now we have

$A = 0.19 m$

$\lambda = 2.6 m$

so we have

$k = \frac{2\pi}{\lambda}$

$k = \frac{2\pi}{2.6}$

$k = 2.42 per m$

also we have

$T = 1.2 s$

so we have

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{T}$

$\omega = \frac{2\pi}{1.2}$

$\omega = 5.23 rad/s$

now we know that at t = 0 and x = 0 wave is at y = 0.19 m

so we have

$\phi_0 = \frac{\pi}{2}$

so we have

$y = 0.19 sin(5.23 t - 2.42x + \frac{\pi}{2})$

The spin-drier of a washing machine revolving at 900.RPM slows down uniformly to 300.RPM while making 60. revolutions. Find the

jeyben [28]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>Acceleration is </u><u>-10.57 rad/s² </u>

<u>Time is </u><u>6 seconds</u>

<h2>Explanation:</h2><h3>a) </h3>

u=900rpm= 94.248 rad/s

v =300rpm= 31.416 rad/s

s=60 revolutions= 377 rad

v²= u²+ 2as

31.416² = 94.248²+ 2 * a * 377

a = v²-u² / 2s

a= -10.57 rad/s²

<h3>b) </h3>

Using 1st equation of motion

v-u/a = t

Putting the values

t = (31.4 - 94.2)/-10.57

t = 6 seconds
