The first international standard of length was a metal bar kept at the International Bureau of Weights and Measures. One meter o

f length was defined to be the distance between two fine lines engraved near the ends of the bar. Why was it important that the bar be kept at a constant temperature?

Answer:

International Bureau of Weights and Measures have the standard bar for one meter length and it is made up of the platinium-iridium alloy. As these are metals so they have the thermal expansion. So the length of the bar depends upon the temperature. Temperature changes can effect the length of the standard bar. That's reason behind keeping the bar at the constant temperature as the change in temperature will result in the change of length.

The tub of a washer goes into its spin-dry cycle, starting from rest and reaching an angular speed of 6.0 rev/s in 11.0 s. At th
sleet_krkn [62]

Answer

given,

ω₁ = 0 rev/s

ω₂ = 6 rev/s

t = 11 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  11 α = 6 - 0

      = 0.545 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₁= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₁= 0 + (1/2) (0.545)(11)^2

  θ₁= 33 rev

case 2

ω₁ = 6 rev/s

ω₂ = 0 rev/s

t = 14 s

Using equation of rotational motion

The angular acceleration is

  ωf - ωi = α t

  14 α = 0 - 6

        = - 0.428 rev/s²

The angular displacement

  θ₂= ωi t + (1/2) α t²

  θ₂= 6 x 14 + (1/2) (-0.428)(14)^2

  θ₂= 42 rev

total revolution in 25 s is equal to

θ =  θ₁ +  θ₂

θ =  33 + 42

θ = 75 rev

Explain what happens to light when it is refracted at the surface of water.
stepan [7]
Light will make the object appear “broken” or in an irregular shape.

Refraction is the change in direction of waves.

Assume that you have a rectangular tank with its top at ground level. The length and width of the top are 14 feet and 7 feet, re
ch4aika [34]

To solve this problem we will use the work theorem, for which we have that the Force applied on the object multiplied by the distance traveled by it, is equivalent to the total work. From the measurements obtained we have that the width and the top are 14ft and 7ft respectively. In turn, the bottom of the tank is 15ft. Although the weight of the liquid is not given we will assume this value of 62 lb / ft ^ 3 (Whose variable will remain modifiable until the end of the equations subsequently presented to facilitate the change of this, in case be different). Now the general expression for the integral of work would be given as

W = \gamma A * \int_0^15 dy

Basically under this expression we are making it difficult for the weight of the liquid multiplied by the area (Top and widht) under the integral of the liquid path to be equivalent to the total work done, then replacing

W = (62)(14*7)\int^{15}_0 (15-y)dy

W = (14*7*62)\big [15y-\frac{y^2}{2}\big ]^{15}_0

W = (14*7*62)[15(15)-\frac{(15)^2}{2}]

W = 683550ft-lbs

Therefore the total work in the system is 683550ft-lbs

By what factor must the sound intensity be increased to increase the sound intensity level by 13.8 db ?
Oliga [24]
Increasing the sound intensity by a factor of:

10 raises its level by 10 dB
100 raises its level by 20 dB
1,000 raises its level by 30 dB
10,000 raises its level by 40 dB 

therefore, we would be using the 10dB since we are only looking for 13.8 dbSo: 10^1.38 = 23.99 or 24 times.
