Answer:

It will take both pumps 3.08 hours to fill the tank working together.

Explanation:

Pump A can fill the tank in 5 hours. Assuming that the pump gives out a steady flow of water, in one hour, pump A can fill 1/5th of the tank. Similarly, pump B in an hour, fills up 1/8th of the tank.

We must add up these two values, in order to find how much of the tank the two pumps can fill up together in one hour.

1/5 +1/8 =13/40

So 13/40 of the tank is filled in an hour. We need to find how many hours it will take for the entire tank to be filled. To do so, divide 40 by 13. This gives:

3.08 hours to fill up the tank.

A man runs 1200m on a straight line in 4 min . find his velocity.
luda_lava [24]

Answer:

5m/sec^2

Explanation:

Distance=1200m

Time=4 min

1=60sec

4=4 x 60

=240sec

Velocity=Distance/Time

Velocity=1200/240

Velocity=5m/sec^2

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.

Are the units of the formula ma = mv2/2 dimensionally consistent? Select the single best answer.
Vesnalui [34]

To solve the problem we will simply perform equivalence between both expressions. We will proceed to place your units and develop your internal operations in case there is any. From there we will compare and look at its consistency

ma = \text{Mass}\times \text{Acceleration}

ma = kg \cdot \frac{m}{s^2}

At the same time we have that

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \text{Mass}\times \text{Velocity}^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg ( \frac{m}{s})^2

\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = kg \cdot \frac{m^2}{s^2}

Therefore there is not have same units and both are not consistent and the correct answer is B.

A woman walked 115 m. As she did so, her speed increased from 4.20 m/s to 5.00 m/s. How long did it take her to walk this distan
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

25 seconds

Explanation:

Assuming the woman is accelerating at a constant rate of a \;\;m/s^2 from the initial velocity, u=4.20 m/s, to the final velocity, v=5.00 m/s.

Let she takes t seconds to cover the distance, s=115 m.

As acceleration, a=\frac{v-u}{t}=\frac{5-4.2}{t}

\Rightarrow at=0.8\cdots(i)

Now, from the equation of motion

s=ut+\frac 12 at^2

\Rightarrow s=ut+\frac 12 at(t)

\Rightarrow 115=4.2t+\frac 12 \times 0.8 t [ from equation (i)]

\Rightarrow 115=(4.2+0.4)t

\Rightarrow t= 115/4.6 = 25 seconds.

Hence, she takes 25 seconds to walk the distance.

What is the mechanical advantage of the wheel and axle shown below?
BigorU [14]

The correct answer is A. 32.5

Mechanical advantage is the ratio of force that is input into a machine to the force output.

Mechanical advantage of a wheel and axle is calculated by dividing the radius of the wheel by that of the axle.

MA=R/r where R is the radius of the wheel and  r is the radius of the axle.

Substituting for the values in the question gives:

MA=26cm/0.8cm

    =32.5
