It’s because warm air is less dense

Because Any object or substance that is less dense than a fluid will float in that fluid, so hot water rises (floats) in colder water. When fluids are cooled, they contract and therefore become more dense. Any object or substance that is more dense than a fluid will sink in that fluid, so cold water sinks in warmer water

A ceiling fan with 90-cm-diameter blades is turning at 64 rpm . Suppose the fan coasts to a stop 28 s after being turned off. Wh

mixas84 [53]

Answer:

the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Explanation:

Given;

diameter of the ceiling fan, d = 90 cm = 0.9 m

angular speed of the fan, ω = 64 rpm

time taken for the fan to stop, t = 28 s

The distance traveled by the ceiling fan when it comes to a stop is calculated as;

$d = vt = \omega r\times t= ( \frac{64 \ rev}{\min} \times \frac{2 \pi \ rad}{rev} \times \frac{1 \min}{60 \ s} \times 0.9 \ m) \times 28 \ s\\\\d = 168.89 \ m$

The speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is calculated as;

$v = \frac{d}{t} \\\\v = \frac{168.89}{10} \\\\v = 16.889 \ m/s$

Therefore, the speed of the tip of a blade 10 s after the fan is turned off is 16.889 m/s.

Which fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck?

Irina18 [472]

Radial fractures tend to occur first when a pane of glass is struck.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

There is a slight difference between radial and concentric fractures and as radial fractures are formed which extends outwards in a radial manner from the point where the glass is struck.

Whereas concentric fractures are circular in pattern and they terminate long before radial crack. Also when a bullet is fired from a gun, a similar reaction is observed as it gets struck on the surface and fractures are formed in the same pattern.

A constant tone is being applied to a speaker. The voltage across the speaker is 5 volts. The voltage across the speaker is incr

lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

decibel gain is 10 db

Explanation:

given data

voltage v1 = 5 volts

voltage v2 = 15 volts

to find out

decibel gain

solution

we have given that 5 volt voltage that is increase to 15 volts

we know here decibel gain formula that is

decibel gain = 20 log(v2/v1) ....................1

put here value of v1 and v2 in equation 1

decibel gain = 20 log(15/5)

decibel gain = 20 log3

decibel gain = 20 × 0.4771

decibel gain = 9.54 db = approx 10 db

so decibel gain is 10 db
