You watch distant Sally Homemaker driving nails into a front porch at a regular rate of 1 stroke per second. You hear the sound

of the blows exactly synchronized with the blows you see. And then you hear one more blow after you see the hammering stop. Calculate the distance of Sally from you.

Answer:

343m

Explanation:

From the question Sally hits one blow every second

However, the sound is delayed by that same amount of time (1 sec)

If the speed of sound is 343m/s

Speed = Distance/Time

Speed = 343m/s

Time = 1s

Distance = Speed x Time

= 343 x 1 = 343m

In which of the following elevator situations would the acceleration be positive. Select TWO answers
kap26 [50]

Both options 5 and 6

Explanation:

Let us consider option 5,

In option 5 body is moving up with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Let us consider option 6,

In option 6 body is moving down with initial velocity lower than that of final velocity which gets accelerated. Therefore the acceleration is positive in this case.

Air, considered an ideal gas, is contained in an insulated piston-cylinder assembly outfitted with a paddle wheel. It is initial
Maru [420]

Our data are,

State 1:

P_1= 10psi=68.95kPa\\V_1 = 1ft^3=0.02831m^3\\T_1 = 100\°F = 310.93K

State 2:

P_2 =5psi=34.474kPa\\V_2 = 3ft^3=0.0899m^3

We know as well that 3BTU=3.16kJ/K

To find the mass we apply the ideal gas formula, which is given by

P_1V_1=mRT_1

Re-arrange for m,

m= \frac{P_1V_1}{RT_1}\\m= \frac{68.95*0.02831}{(0.287)310.9}\\m=0.021893kg=0.04806lbm\\

Because of the pressure, temperature and volume ratio of state 1 and 2, we have to

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

Replacing,

T_2 = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_1V_1}T_1\\T_2 =\frac{34.474*0.0844}{68.95*0.02831}*310.93\\T_2 = 464.217K=375.5\°F

For conservative energy we have, (Cv = 0.718)

W = m C_v = 0.718  \Delta T +dw\\dw = W - mv\Delta T\\dw = 3.16-(0.0218*0.718)(454.127-310.93)\\dw = 0.765kJ=0.72BTU

A 350-N child is in a swing that is attached to a pair of ropes 2.10 m long. Find the gravitational potential energy of the chil
o-na [289]

Answer:

a)  U = 735 J , b) U = 125.7 J , c)   U = 0 J

Explanation:

The gravitational power energy is

      U = mg y - mg y₀

The last value is a constant, for simplicity we can make it zero, if the lowest point is at the origin of the coordinate system, which in this case we will place in the lowest part

a) Rope is horizontal

The height in this case is the same length of the rope

     y = 2.10 m

    w = mg = 350 N

    U = 350 2.10

    U = 735 J

b) when the angle is 34º

     y = L - L cos 34

    y = L (1- cos34)

    y = 2.10 (1- cos 34)

    y = 0.359 m

    U = 350 0.359

    U = 125.7 J

c) in this case this point coincides with the reference system

     y = 0

     U = 0 J

alisha [4.7K]
<span>If you think about it, changing the scale to which something is measured does not affect the repeatability of the measurement. For instance, if you have a meter stick which was labeled incorrectly, that doesn't affect the fact that every measurement you take of a certain fixed distance will still be the same. Precision does not equal accuracy.</span>
