Answer:

a.Beth

b.2232 s

Explanation:

We are given that

Distance,d=400 mi

Speed of Alan,v=45 mph

Speed of Beth,v'=55 mph

a.Time =\frac{distance}{speed}

Using the formula

Time taken by Alan=\frac{400}{45}=8.89 hr

Time taken by Beth=\frac{400}{55}=7.27hr

Alan will reach San Francisco at 4:53 PM

Beth will reach San Francisco at 4:16 PM

Beth will reach before Alan.

b.Difference between time=8.89-7.27=1.62 hr

t=1.62 hr

1.62-1=0.62 hr

0.62 hr=0.62\times 60\times 60=2232 s

Hence, Beth has to wait 2232 s for Alan to arrive .

TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

No, the acceleration is not always zero.

Explanation:

It does not mean that the acceleration of the particle is zero.

The velocity of wave is different from the velocity of particle.

The acceleration of wave is different from the acceleration of particle.

the acceleration of the particle is given by

a =- w^2 y

where, w is the angular frequency and y is the displacement from the mean position.

So, the acceleration is zero at mean position only and it varies as the position changes.

Ivan

Answer:

400 kg.m/s

Explanation:

In a closed system, the principle of conservation of momentum applies. It means. the total momentum before collision equals to the total momentum after collision hence since the initial momentum is given as 400 kg.m/s, the final sum will be the same.

A Carnot engine absorbs 1, 3 MJ of heat at 427 degree C and exhausts heat to a reservoir at 90 degree C. How much work does it d
Alex17521 [72]
<span>Carnot cycle efficiency = work done/heat supplied = (Th - Tc)/Th where, Th is temperature of hot reservoir and Tc is temperature of cold reservoir. we have given the values as Heat supplied = 1.3 MJ or 1300 KJ, Th = 427 degree C and Tc = 90 degree C. converting degree Celsius to kelvin temperatures, Th = 427 + 273 = 700 K Tc = 90 +273 = 363 solving equations, (700 - 363)/700 = work done / 1300 work done = 625.86 KJ i.e. 0.626 MJ work is done .</span>
