Answer:

Victor will always be able to select 4 of those cards with the following property

Explanation:

Number of trading cards = 100

victor selects 21 cards

let the 4 cards be labelled : A,B,C and D

The average power level of : A,B,C,D = ( A + B + C + D )/ 4 = P

let the two pairs be : ( A + B ) and ( C + D )

note: average power of each pair = P and this shows that

( A + B ) = ( C + D ) for Victor to select 4 cards out of the 21 cards that exhibit the same property

we have to check out the possible choices of two cards out of 21 cards yield distinct sums.

= C(21,2)=(21x20)/2 = 210.

from the question the number of distinct sums that can be created using 101 through 200 is < 210 .

hence it is impossible to get 210 distinct sums therefore Victor will always be able to select 4 of those cards

A glass flask whose volume is 1000 cm3 at a temperature of 0.300 ∘C is completely filled with mercury at the same temperature. W

RSB [31]

Answer: $2.04\times 10^{-5}/K$

Explanation:

Given

initial volume $V_0=1000 cm^3$

initial Temperature $T_i=0.3^{\circ}C$

Final Temperature $T_f=52^{\circ}C$

Volume of overflow of mercury $=8.25 cm^3$

We know volume expansion of Mercury $\beta _{Hg}=1.80\times 10^{-4} /K$

Volume Expansion of Mercury

$V_f=V_0(1+\beta _{Hg}\Delta T)$

$V_f=1000(1+1.80\times 10^{-4}\times 51.7)$

$V_f=1009.306 cm^3$

therefore volume Expansion of flask

$V_f-8.25=1009.306-8.25=1001.056 cm^3$

Volume Expansion of Glass

$V_f'=V_0(1+\beta _{glass}\Delta T)$

$1001.056=1000(1+\beta _{glass}\times 51.7)$

$1.001056=1+\beta _{glass}\times 51.7$

$\beta _{glass}\times 51.7=0.001056$

$\beta _{glass}=\frac{0.001056}{51.7}=2.04\times 10^{-5}/K$

What is the magnitude of force required to accelerate a car of mass

mart [117]

Answer:

<h2>The answer is 8075 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

<h3>force = mass × acceleration</h3>

From the question

mass = 1.7 × 10³ kg = 1700 kg

acceleration = 4.75 m/s²

We have

force = 1700 × 4.75

We have the final answer as

<h3>8075 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

What is a warming sign that suggest a weight loss plan is a fad diet rather than a healthy weight loss plan?

Serga [27]

Answer:

Warming signs before fad diet includes:

1. When a special type of diet is recommended for weight loss.

2. When quick weight loss is promised instead of advice on the need to exercise, eat healthy foods including fruits and vegetables, and adopt a good feeding behavior.

3. Promises rapid weight loss in a short period of time.

After taking the fad diet the following might be experienced:

1. Constipation.

2. Weakness and fatigue.

3. More accumulation of fats in the body in the long run after a short term normal BMI (Body mass index).

4. Lower metabolic rates over time.

Explanation:

weight loss is a practice adopted by people for various reasons ranging from the desire to stay healthy to, ability to pursue a career that requires a good Body Mass Index. For instance, A BMI (Body mass index) which is equal to a person's weight (kg) / (height(m))^2 of 30 and higher is considered obese.

Fad diet which may give a temporary result of weight loss is not considered totally healthy as it doesn't capture the need to eat a healthy balanced diet instead focuses on more routine consumption of a particular kind of diet.

A healthy weight loss plan captures the need to exercise, reduce body fats while eating healthy. Eating fruits, vegetables are also encouraged.

1750 N irregular beam is hanging horizontally by its ends from the ceiling by two vertical wires (A and B), each 1.25 m long and

Arturiano [62]

The time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling is 2.33 ms.

<h3>What is center of gravity?</h3>

Any object of mass is attracted towards another by point where whole mass is supposed to be concentrated is called center of gravity.

A 1750 N irregular beam is hanging horizontally by its ends from the ceiling by two vertical wires (A and B), each 1.25 m long and weighing 0.290 N.

The center of gravity of this beam is one-third of the way along the beam from the end where wire A is attached.

Taking moments about one end, to find the tension at other end.

Tb X L = WxL/3

here, W is the weight, L is the length of wire and Tb is the tension at point B.

So, Tb = W/3

and
Tb - Ta = W

here, Ta is the tension in end A.

Substitute the values, we get

Tb = 583.33N and Ta = 1166.66N

Velocity of end A, Va = (1166.66 x1.25 x 9.81/0.290 )^(1/2)

Va = 222 m/s

Velocity of end B, Vb = (583.33 x1.25 x 9.81/0.290 )^(1/2)

Va = 157 m/s

Time delay t is related with the velocities as

t = L/Vb - L/Va

Substitute the values, we get

t= 0.00233 s

t = 2.33 ms

Thus, time delay between the arrival of the two pulses at the ceiling is 2.33 ms.
