Sam is walking at 2m/s down the hallway when he realized he will be late to class. He speeds up to 4m/s and makes it to English

class just before the bell. If it took him 4 seconds to speed up what was his acceleration?

Answer:

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

Explanation:

The corrosion rate is the rate of material remove.The formula for calculating CPR or corrosion penetration rate is

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

K= constant depends on the system of units used.

W= weight =485 g

D= density =7.9 g/cm³

A = exposed specimen area =100 in² =6.452 cm²

K=534 to give CPR in mpy

K=87.6 to give CPR in mm/yr

mpy

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{534\times( 485g)\times( 10^3mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3) \times (100in^2)\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=37.4mpy

mm/yr

$CPR=\frac{KW}{DAT}$

$=\frac{87.6\times (485g)\times (10^3 mg/g)}{(7.9g/cm^3)\times (100in^2)\times(2.54cm/in)^2\times (24h/day)\times (365day/yr)\times 1yr}$

=0.952 mm/yr

Therefore the rate of corrosion 37.4 mpy and 0.952 mm/yr.

the maximum intensity levels of a trumpet, trombone, and a bass drum, each at a distance of 3m are 94 dB, 107dB, and 113dB respe

Gwar [14]

Answer:

β = 114 db

Explanation:

The intensity of sound in decibles is

β = 10 log $\frac{I}{I_{o}}$

in most cases Io is the hearing threshold 1 10-12 W / cm²

let's calculate the intensity of each instrument

I / I₀ = 10 (β / 10)

I = I₀ 10 (β / 10)

trumpet

I1 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (94/10)

I1 = 2.51 10⁻³ / cm²

Thrombus

I2 = 1 10⁻¹² 10 (107/10)

I2 = 5.01 10-2 W / cm²

low

I3 =1 1-12 (113/10) W/cm²

I3 = 1,995 10-1 W / cm²

when we place the three instruments together their sounds reinforce

I_total = I₁ + I₂ + I₃

I_ttoal = 2.51 10-3 + 5.01 10-2 + 1.995 10-1

I_total = 0.00251 + 0.0501 + 0.1995

I_total = 0.25211 W / cm²

let's bring this amount to the SI system

β = 10 log (0.25211 / 1 10⁻¹²)

β = 114 db

A 10.00-kilogram block slides along a horizontal, frictionless surface at 12.0 meters per second for 6.00 seconds. The magnitude

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

120 kg m/s

Explanation:

The magnitude of the momentum of an object is given by

$p=mv$

where

m is the mass of the object

v is its speed

For the block in this problem,

m = 10.0 kg (mass of the block)

v = 12.0 m/s (speed of the block)

Therefore the magnitude of the block's momentum is

$p=(10.0 kg)(12.0 m/s)=120 kg m/s$

The 9-inch-long elephant nose fish in the Congo River generates a weak electric field around its body using an organ in its tail

Alik [6]

Answer:

$1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C$

Explanation:

The strength of the electric field produced by a charge Q is given by

$E=k\frac{Q}{r^2}$

where

Q is the charge

r is the distance from the charge

k is the Coulomb's constant

In this problem, the electric field that can be detected by the fish is

$E=3.00 \mu N/C = 3.00\cdot 10^{-6}N/C$

and the fish can detect the electric field at a distance of

$r=63.5 cm = 0.635 m$

Substituting these numbers into the equation and solving for Q, we find the amount of charge needed:

$Q=\frac{Er^2}{k}=\frac{(3.00\cdot 10^{-6} N/C)(0.635 m)^2}{9\cdot 10^9 Nm^2 C^{-2}}=1.34\cdot 10^{-16} C$
