Answer:

The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

Explanation:

Given that,

Machmer Hall is 400 m North and 180 m West of Witless.

We need to calculate the distance

Using Pythagorean theorem

$D = \sqrt{(d_{m})^2+(d_{w})^2}$

Where, $d_{m}$ =distance of Machmer Hall

$d_{w}$ =distance of Witless

Put the value into the formula

$D = \sqrt{(400)^2+(180)^2}$

$D=438.63\ m$

Hence, The distance from Witless to Machmer is 438.63 m.

A source produces 20 crests and 20 troughs in 4 seconds. The second crest is 3 cm away from the first crest.Calculate :

sineoko [7]

Answer:

Solution given:

No of waves[N] =20crests & 20 troughs

=20waves

Time[T]=4seconds

distance[d]=3cm=0.03m

Now

Wave length=3cm=3 × ${10}^{ - 2}m$

Frequency= $\frac{No of waves}{time}$

= $\frac{20}{4}$ =5Hertz

and

Wave speed:wave length×frequency=3 × ${10}^{ - 2}m$ ×5=1.5 × ${10}^{ - 1} \tt{ {ms}^{ - 1}}$ .

a lump of putty and a rubber ball have equal mass. both are thrown with equal speed against a wall. the putty sticks to the wall

RUDIKE [14]

The bouncy ball experiences the greater momentum change.

To understand why, you need to remember that momentum is actually
a vector quantity ... it has a size AND it has a direction too.

The putty and the ball have the same mass, and you throw them
with the same speed. So, on the way from your hand to the wall,
they both have the same momentum.
Call it " M in the direction toward the wall ".

After they both hit the wall:

-- The putty has zero momentum.
Its momentum changed by an amount of M .

-- The ball has momentum of " M in the direction away from the wall ".
Its momentum changed by an amount of 2M .

If a man does 4500 J of work from a high rise building of 10 m, what is his mass?

GalinKa [24]

Explanation:

The potential energy (Ep) = 4500 J

Ep = m. g. h

=> m = Ep/(g.h)

m = 4500/(10×10)

= 4500/100

= 45

so, the mass = 45 kgs

Two cubes, one silver and one iron, have the same mass and temperature. A quantity Q of heat is removed from each cube. Which on

scoundrel [369]

Answer:

C) specific heat capacity

Explanation:

As we know that heat given to the system to change the temperature is given as

$Q = ms \Delta T$

here we know that

Q = thermal energy given to the system

s = specific heat capacity of the system

$\Delta T$ = change in temperature

so here we know that

$\Delta T = \frac{Q}{ms}$

here we know that heat given to the two cubes is of same amount as well as the mass is same but the final temperature is different because of the specific heat capacity (s)

So correct answer would be

C) specific heat capacity
