A column of soldiers, marching at 114 steps per minute, keep in step with the beat of a drummer at the head of the column. It is

observed that the soldiers in the rear end of the column are striding forward with the left foot when the drummer is advancing with the right. What is the approximate length of the column? (Take the speed of sound to be 343 m/s.)

Answer:

length of column is 140.42 m

Explanation:

in 1 min the soldiers travels 114 steps

so to complete 1 step the time taken by the soldiers =

t =  \dfrac{1\ min}{114}

t =  \dfrac{60}{114}  

t = 0.526 s

speed of sound = 343 m/s

length of the column = v × t

                                   = 343 m/s × 0.526 s

                                   = 140.42 m

hence the length of column is 140.42 m

Does the distance a person kicks a soccer ball
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

Independent variable: how far the soccer ball is kicked.

Dependent variable: how well the person does on their math test

Explanation:

The distance the ball is kicked is what the scientist can change. On the other hand, in this experiment, how well the person does on their test supposedly relies on how far the soccer ball is kicked.

The Hubble Space Telescope is stabilized to within an angle of about 2-millionths of a degree by means of a series of gyroscopes
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

The answer to the question is;

The required torque that it would take to cause the gyroscopes to precess through an angle of 1.0×10−6 degree during a 5.0-hour exposure of a galaxy is 2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m  

Explanation:

To solve the question we first resolve the units of the given quantities as follows

The gyroscopes spin at 19,200 rpm that is 19,200 revolutions per minute

1 revolution = 2π rad and

1 minute = 60 seconds

Therefore 19,200 revolutions per minute = 2π×19,200÷60 rad/s

= 2010.619 rad/s

The angle of precess is given as 1.0×10⁻⁶ °. We convert the angle to radians as follows

360 ° = 2π radians

1 ° = \frac{\pi }{180} radians and

1.0×10⁻⁶ ° =  \frac{\pi }{180} radians × 1.0×10⁻⁶ ° = 1.745×10⁻⁸ rad

To find the torque we note that the torque is given by

Precession angular speed × The moment of inertia × angular velocity

The precession angular speed is given by \frac{Precession. Angle}{time}

The precession angle was determined in rad as 1.745×10⁻⁸ rad

The precession time is 5 hours which is equal to 5×60×60 = 18000 s

Therefore the precession velocity = \frac{1.745*10^{-8} rad}{18000 s} =  9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s

The moment of inertia is given by

Formula for the moment of inertia of a thin walled cylinder I = m·r²

Where:

r = Radius of the gyroscope = Diameter/2 = 5.0 cm/2 = 2.5 cm = ‪0.025‬ m

m = Mass of each gyroscopes = 2.0 kg

Therefore I = m·r² = 2.0 kg × (0.025‬ m)² = 0.00125 kg·m²

Torque, τ = Ω·I·ω

Where:

Ω = Precession velocity = 9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s

I = Moment of inertia = 0.00125 kg·m²

ω = Angular speed = 2010.619 rad/s

τ = 9.696×10⁻¹³ rad/s × 0.00125 kg·m² × 2010.619 rad/s =

2.44 ×10⁻¹² kg·m²/ s² =   2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m  

The required torque is 2.44 ×10⁻¹² N·m.

5.00 kg of liquid water is heated to 100.0 °C in a closed system. At this temperature, the density of liquid water is 958 kg/m3.
user100 [1]

Answer:

1.04\times 10^7\ J.

Explanation:

In the question given :

Pressure is constant

Therefore, Work done, W=P\times\Delta V

Pressure, P=1.01 × 105 Pa.

Final volume, V_f=8.50\ m^3.

Initial volume, V_i=\dfrac{Mass}{density}=\dfrac{5}{958}=5.22\times10^-3\ m^3.

Therefore, W=8.58\times 10^{5}\ J.

Also, Heat Given, Q=m\times L=5\times 2.26\times 10^{6}\ J=1.13\times 10^7\ J.

Also, according to First law of thermodynamics:

\Delta U=Q-W=(1.13\times 10^7)-(8.58\times 10^5)=1.04\times 10^7\ J.

Hence, this is the required solution.
