Answer:

4miles/hour

Explanation:

the solution for this question requires that the quantities are converted to the appropriate units as required by the question.

Rate in miles per hour = distance in miles / time in hour

to convert 12 minutes to hours; recall that 60 minutes make 1 hour

12 minutes to hour = 12/60 = 0.2hr

to convert 4224 feet to miles; recall 5280 feet is equivalent to 1 mile

4224 feet to miles = 4224/5280 = 0.8 miles

∴ rate = 0.8 / 0.2

rate = 4 miles per hour

the constant rate in miles per hour = 4 miles/hour

Describe the sequence of mechanical energy events that lets you hear the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Starting from the beginning.

There is a radio signal that is received by the radio.

The radio interprets the signal and produces a current in response to it.

That current goes to a membrane that oscillates producing sound, the oscillation of the membrane is the first mechanical energy event here.

These oscillations can travel in material mediums, for example, the air. Then there is a production of waves (soundwaves) that travel in the air (second event).

Those waves now hit the wall that separates you and your neighbor, as the wall is made of a material, the soundwaves can travel through it, but they will be dispersed (a part of the waves rebounds on the wall, and another part is dissipated as the wave travels through the wall), there is also a transmitted part of the wave, that is now in your house. (this change of medium will be the third event). Now only the lower frequencies survive, this is why the sound is "muffled".

Those remaining frequencies now travel in your house, and when they reach your ear, your ear sends a signal to your brain and your brain interprets them as sound. The wave interacting with your ear will be the fourth and last mechanical energy event.

The speed of water flowing through the 4in diameter section of the piping system is 3ft/s. What is the volume flow rate of water
olga_2 [115]
1 ft =12 in 
4 in = 0.333 ft 
volume = (п/4)*(0.333)² = 0.087 ft²
vol. flow = spead *volume
              =3 ft/s * 0.087 ft² 

vol flow = 0.261 ft³/s

newton's second law states that when a net force acts on an object, it accelerates it.Explain how it would be possible for two o
Alika [10]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to Newton's second law of motion, the acceleration of a body is proportional to the net external force that acts on the body.

A body accelerated when it is acted upon by an unbalanced net external force.

When the external forces acting on a body are balanced, the effect of each force is cancelled by the other hence the body is not accelerated according to Newton's second law.

a particle is moving along a circular path having a radius of 4 in such that its position as a function of time is given by thet
ANTONII [103]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

radius of circular path r=4\ in.

Position is given by

\theta =\cos 2t---1

Differentiate 1  to angular velocity we get

\frac{\mathrm{d} \theta }{\mathrm{d} t}=\omega =-2\sin 2t----2

Differentiate 2 to get angular acceleration

\frac{\mathrm{d} \omega }{\mathrm{d} t}=-2^2\cos 2t ---3

Net acceleration is the vector summation of tangential and centripetal force

a_t=\alpha \times r

a_t=-4\cos 2t\times 4=-16\cos 2t

a_r=\omega ^2\cdot r

a_r=(-2\sin 2t)^2\cdot 4

a_r=16\sin^2(2t)

a_{net}=\sqrt{a_r^2+a_t^2}

a_{net}=\sqrt{(16\sin ^2(2t)+(-16\cos 2t)^2}

a_{net}=\sqrt{256\cos ^2(2t)+256\sin ^4(2t)}
