Answer:

The correct option is;

C. 1,715 m

Explanation:

We are given the information from the group of teen at the City edge

Time of arrival of explosion sound = 5 s after sighting

Time of sighting explosion = 5 s before hearing the boom

Speed of sound in air ≈ 343 m/s

Speed of light = 299,792 km/s

Therefore, distance covered by sound in 5 seconds is given by the following equation;

Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time}

\therefore 343 \ m/s= \frac{Distance}{5 \, s}

Hence Distance = 343 m/s × 5 s = 1715 m

To check, we compare the time it would take for the light to cover 1715 m

That is Time = \frac{Distance}{Speed} =  \frac{1715}{299,792,000} = 0.00000572 \, s which is instantaneous hence the distance can be approximated by the time duration for the speed of sound.

Therefore, the distance of the students from the factory is approximately 1,715 m

marusya05 [52]

From what we know, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

<h3>What is the Weber fraction?</h3>

This fraction describes the ratio needed for change to a stimulus in which the change is just barely noticeable. This question is a prime example in that it seeks to find out just how low of a difference is needed in TV volume in order for the difference to be noticeable.

Therefore, we can confirm that this ratio (turning up the volume by one click relative to the TV's overall volume) can be quantified as the Weber fraction.

Technician A says that the governor is used to measure vehicle speed in a hydraulically-controlled automatic transmission. Techn
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

Both technicians are correct

Explanation:

In automobiles, governors are being used. Governors are also known for speed limiters as they can regulate and measure the speed of the automobile.

Hydraulic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by mechanical sensors according to vehicle speed and throttle position/manifold vacuum through valving operated by hydraulic 'pilot' signals.

Electronic Transmission: Shifting is controlled by an on-board computer that receives signals from electronic sensors.

Answer:

<h2>C. <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u></h2>

Explanation:

Using the conservation of law of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Momentum = Mass (M) * Velocity(V)

BEFORE COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at 1.0m/s = 0.25*1 = 0.25kgm/s

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.0m/s(body at rest) = 0kgm/s

AFTER COLLISION

Momentum of 0.25kg body moving at x m/s = 0.25* x= 0.25x kgm/s

<u>x is the final velocity of the 0.25kg ball</u>

Momentum of 0.15kg body moving at 0.75m/s(body at rest) =

0.15 * 0.75kgm/s = 0.1125 kgm/s

Using the law of conservation of momentum;

0.25+0 = 0.25x + 0.1125

0.25x = 0.25-0.1125

0.25x = 0.1375

x = 0.1375/0.25

x = 0.55m/s

Since the 0.15 kg ball moves off to the right after collision, the 0.25 kg ball will move at <u>0.55 m/s towards the right</u>

3.50 µf capacitor has a charge with a magnitude of 4.50 µC on each parallel plate. Find the potential difference between the pla
n200080 [17]

Answer:

b) 1.29 V

Explanation:

Potential Difference: This is the work done when one coulomb of charge moves from one point to another in an electric field

The expression for the potential difference is

Q = CV .................... Equation 1

Where Q = amount of charge, C = Capacitance of the capacitor, V = potential difference.

Making V the subject of the equation,

V = Q/C................. Equation 2

Given: Q = 4.5  µC = 4.5×10⁻⁶ C, C = 3.5  µF = 3.5×10⁻⁶ F

Substituting into equation 2

V = 4.5×10⁻⁶ /3.5×10⁻⁶

V = 1.2857 V

V ≈ 1.29 V.

Hence the right option is  b) 1.29 V

Calculate the angular velocity of a clocks second hand, its minute hand, and its hour hand. State in Rad/s. What is its angular
fenix001 [56]

Second hand:

1 rev per minute = (2π radians/minute) x (1 min/60sec) = π/30 rad/sec

Minute hand:

1 rev per hour = (2π radians/hour) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/1800 rad/sec

Hour hand:

1 rev per 12 hours = (2π rad/12 hr) x (1 hr/3600 sec) = π/21,600 rad/sec

As long as the clock is in good working order, and the hands are turning steadily at their normal rate, there is no angular acceleration.
