A vessel is filled with a liquid of density 1900 kg/m3 . There are two holes (one above the other) in the side of the vessel. Li

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

110 meters is the distance where they will intersect

Explanation:

given,

liquid density = 1900 kg/m³

distance of upper hole = 19 m

distance of lower hole = 117 m

acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s²

the speed at each point

$v = \sqrt{2gh}$

for upper hole $v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 19}$

v = 19.29 m/s

lower hole $v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 117}$

v = 47.88 m/s

The path for each is parabolic

x = v t

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}gt^2$

$y = \dfrac{1}{2}g(\dfrac{x}{v})^2$

$y = \dfrac{gx^2}{2v^2}$

we get

upper hole

$y = \dfrac{9.8\times x^2}{2\times 19.29^2}= 0.0132 x^2$ lower hole

$y= \dfrac{9.8\times x^2}{2\times 47.88^2}=0.00214x^2$ y for upper hole = 80 + y for lower hole

$0.0132 x^2= 98 + 0.00214 x^2$

$0.0082 x^2 = 98$

x = 109.32 meters

110 meters is the distance where they will intersect

A pipe that is open at both ends has a fundamental frequency of 320 Hz when the speed of sound in air is 331 m/s.

fenix001 [56]

Question

What is the length of the pipe?

Answer:

(a) 0.52m

(b) f2=640 Hz and f3=960 Hz

Explanation:

For an open pipe, the velocity is given by

$v=\frac {2Lf}{n}$

Making L the subject then

$L=\frac {nV}{2f}$

Where f is the frequency, L is the length, n is harmonic number, v is velocity

Substituting 1 for n, 320 Hz for f and 331 m/s for v then

$L=\frac {1*331}{2*320}=0.5171875\approx 0.52m$

(b)

The next two harmonics is given by

f2=2fi

f3=3fi

f2=3*320=640 Hz

f3=3*320=960 Hz

Alternatively, $f2=2\times \frac {v}{2L}$ and $f3=3\times \frac {v}{2L}$

$f2=2\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=636.5 Hz\\f3=3\times \frac {331}{2*0.52}=954.8 Hz$

(c)

When v=367 m/s then

$f1= \frac {v}{2L}\\f1= \frac {367}{2*0.52}=352.9 Hz$

Jenny wants to determine if a new brand name washing detergent is better than her old detergent she washed ten dirty t-shirts wi

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Independent variable: washer detergent

Dependent varaible: cleaing power of effectivenes of the detergent.

Explanation:

When an experiiment is performed there exists one independent variable, one dependent variable, and some other variables that must be controlled.

The goal of the experiment is to test a hypothesis, which is a statement that relates an effect with a cause and that must be proved true or false.

The effect in the dependent variable, and the cause is the independent variable.

Jenny (the scientist) wants to show how an effect or phenomenun, the dependent variable, is explained by the explanatory, independent, variable.

In the stated experiment, Jenny wants to know how the effectiveness of a new brand detergent and an old one compare with each other. Therefore, she designs a test in which she will determine how the brand of detergent may explain (explanatory or independent variable) the cleaning power or effectiveness, the dependent variable.

Jenny only can manipulate the independent variable and observe the effect on the dependent variable.

To be conclusive, other variables must be controlled, like the fabric and the amount of dirt of the t-shirts.

How much current would flow in a device powered by four 1.5 V batteries through a bulb that had a resistance of 51.0 ohms?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

0.12A

Explanation:

Total voltage produced by the batteries;

V = 1.5 × 4 = 6 v

Then the current that is flowing through the device

Current(I) = V/R

; I = 6/51

;Current = 0.12A
