The ability of a singer to shatter glass is due to: bending of a wave around an obstacle

The ability of singers to shatter glass is due to the control of frequency in their voices. The sound waves will vibrate the air particles that surround the glass at its resonant frequency. The glass will break if a singer sings too loudly.

A rope is tied to a tree 4.5 feet from the ground and then run through a pulley hooked to a vehicle 33 feet from the tree. If a

Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

The vehicle displacement is 9.90 feet.

Explanation:

Given that,

Height of tree = 4.5 feet

Distance = 33 feet

According to figure,

We need to calculate the value of l

Using Pythagorean theorem

$l=\sqrt{(33)^2+(4.5)^2}$

We need to calculate the vehicle displacement

Using horizontal component

Vehicle displacement =horizontal component of pulled rope

$Vehicle\ displacement= d\cos\theta$

Where, $\theta$ is angle between rope and ground

d = pulled length of rope

$Vehicle\ displacement=10\times\dfrac{33}{\sqrt{(33)^2+(4.5)^2}}$

$Vehicle\ displacement=9.90\ feet$

Hence, The vehicle displacement is 9.90 feet.

The rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between

erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

Considering first question

Generally the coefficient of performance of the air condition is mathematically represented as

$COP = \frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$

Here $T_i$ is the inside temperature

while $T_o$ is the outside temperature

What this coefficient of performance represent is the amount of heat the air condition can remove with 1 unit of electricity

So it implies that the air condition removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ heat with 1 unit of electricity

Now from the question we are told that the rate at which heat enters an air conditioned building is often roughly proportional to the difference in temperature between inside and outside. This can be mathematically represented as

$Q \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)$

=> $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

Here k is the constant of proportionality

since 1 unit of electricity removes $\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i}$ amount of heat

E unit of electricity will remove $Q= k (T_o - T_i)$

$E = \frac{k(T_o - T_i)}{\frac{T_i}{ T_h - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} (T_o - T_i)^2$

given that $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is constant

=> $E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^2$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square of the temperature difference.

Considering the second question

Assuming that $T_i = 30 ^oC$

and $T_o = 40 ^oC$

Hence

$E = K (T_o - T_i)^2$

Here K stand for a constant

$E = K (40 - 30)^2$

=> $E = 100K$

Now if the $T_i = 20 ^oC$

Then

$E = K (40 - 20)^2$

=> $E = 400 \ K$

So from this see that the electricity require (cost of powering and operating the air conditioner)when the inside temperature is low is much higher than the electricity required when the inside temperature is higher

Considering the third question

Now in the case where the heat that enters the building is at a rate proportional to the square-root of the temperature difference between inside and outside

We have that

$Q = k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }$

$E = \frac{k (T_o - T_i )^{\frac{1}{2} }}{\frac{T_i}{T_o - T_i} }$

=> $E = \frac{k}{T_i} * (T_o - T_i) ^{\frac{3}{2} }$

Assuming $\frac{k}{T_i}$ is a constant

Then

$E \ \alpha \ (T_o - T_i)^{\frac{3}{2} }$

From this above equation we see that the electricity required(cost of powering and operating the air conditioner) is approximately proportional to the square root of the cube of the temperature difference.
