Given parameters;

Time taken to complete a lap = 8.667s

Radius of flower = 13.9cm

convert to SI unit of m, 100cm = 1m

13.9cm gives $\frac{13.9}{100}$ = 0.139m

Unknown = speed

To solve this problem, we need to first find the circumference of the flower.

Circumference of the circular flower = 2 π r

where r is the radius of the flower;

Circumference = 2 x 3.142 x 0.139 = 0.87m

Now to find the how fast the bug is travelling,

Speed = $\frac{distance}{time}$

Since the bug covered 1 lap, the distance is 0.87m

Now input the parameters and solve for speed;

Speed = $\frac{0.87}{8.667}$ = 0.1m/s

The bug is travelling at a speed of 0.1m/s

A grandfather clock is controlled by a swinging brass pendulum that is 1.2 m long at a temperature of 27°C. (a) What is the leng

stealth61 [152]

Answer:

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

Explanation:

Given;

Initial length L1 = 1.2m

Initial temperature T1 = 27°C

Final temperature T2 = 0.0°C

Linear expansion coefficient of brass x = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C

The change i length ∆L;

∆L = L2 - L1

L2 = L1 + ∆L ...........1

∆L = xL1(∆T)

∆L = xL1(T2 - T1) ......2

Substituting the given values into equation 2;

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (0 - 27)

∆L = 1.9 × 10^-5 /°C × 1.2m × (- 27)

∆L = -6.156 × 10^-4 m

From equation 1;

L2 = L1 + ∆L

Substituting the values;

L2 = 1.2 m + (- 6.156 × 10^-4 m)

L2 = 1.2 m - 6.156 × 10^-4 m

L2 = 1.1993844 m

L2 = 1.1994 m

the length of the pendulum rod when the temperature drops to 0.0°C is 1.1994 m

A dc motor with its rotor and field coils connected in series has an internal resistance of 3.2 Ω. When running at full load on

pochemuha

Answer:

The current drawn by the motor from the line is 4.68 A.

Explanation:

Given that,

Internal resistance of the dc motor, r = 3.2 ohms

Voltage, V = 120 V

Emf in the motor, $\epsilon=105\ V$

We need to find the current drawn by the motor from the line. A dc motor with its rotor and field coils connected in series, applying loop rule we get :

$V=\epsilon+Ir$

I is current drawn by the motor

$I=\dfrac{V-\epsilon}{r}\\\\I=\dfrac{120-105}{3.2}\\\\I=4.68\ A$

So, the current drawn by the motor from the line is 4.68 A. Hence, this is the required solution.

What did James Madison foresee as an important element of the political system?

Papessa [141]

An important element of the political system as foreseen by James Madison is Interest groups.

Option c

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

The group of people with specific political interest is known as political interest group. Many efforts are organized to influence laws and policies of government. These political groups pass laws which benefits their own political group. This group can also be known as special interest group or advocacy groups.

The main purpose of Interest group is to influence public group. The work done by them is to educate the public and also policy makers and their issues. Many ways to fund their causes is also found. The function of interest group is to influence the policy of public in its favor.
