To solve this problem we will start by defining the length of the shortest stick as 'x'. And the magnitude of the longest stick, according to the statement as

x+2.93

Both cover a magnitude of 8.32 ft, therefore

x +(x+2.97) = 8.32

Now solving for x we have,

x + (x + 2.93) = 8.32

2x + 2.93 = 8.32

2x = 8.32 - 2.93

x = \frac{ 8.32 - 2.93}{2}

x = 2.695 ft

Therefore the shorter stick is 2.695ft long.

A pail in a water well is hoisted by means of a frictionless winch, which consists of a spool and a hand crank. When Jill turns
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

166 W

Explanation:

Power is the rate at which work is done.

\text{Power} = \dfrac{\text{Work done}}{\text{time}}

The work done by Jill is the product of the weight of the pail and the height it moves.

The weight is the product of the mass and acceleration of gravity, <em>g</em>. Taking <em>g</em> as 9.81 m/s², the weight is

<em>W</em> = (6.90 kg)(9.81 m/s²) = 67.689 N

Work done = (67.689 N)(27.0 m) = 1827.603 J

Power = (1827.603 J) ÷ (11.0 s) = 166 W

Convection occurs when thermal energy is transferred by the movement of
madam [21]

Answer:

Convection is the transfer of thermal energy from one place to another by the movement of gas or liquid particles. How does this happen? As a gas or liquid is heated, the substance expands. This is because the particles in liquids and gases gain kinetic energy when they are heated and start to move faster.
