Explain how the fountain pen is filled up with ink

Leno4ka [110]

Answer: A piston-filling fountain pen has a piston — just like in a car — inside the barrel. This piston goes down to expel air or ink and then back up, pulling ink into the barrel. The typical process is very simple, assuming the pen is clean and dry: Push the piston down, expelling any air in the barrel

During a braking test, a car is brought to rest beginning from an initial speed of 60 mi/hr in a distance of 120 ft. With the sa

maw [93]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

Initial speed $u=60\ mi/hr\approx 88\ ft/s$

distance traveled before coming to rest $d_1=120\ ft$

using equation of motion

$v^2-u^2=2as$

where v=final velocity

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

s=displacement

$0-(88)^2=2\times a\times 120---1$

for $u_2=80\ mi/hr\approx 117.33\ ft/s$

using same relation we get

$0-(117.33)^2=2\times a\times (d_2)----2$

divide 1 and 2 we get

$(\frac{88}{117.33})^2=\frac{120}{d_2}$

$d_2=213.32\ ft$

So a distance if 213.32 ft is required to stop the vehicle with 80 mph speed

The North American Plate is moving west at a rate of approximately 20 mm/yr. How long will it take for New York to move 10° long

scZoUnD [109]

Answer:

55000000 years

Explanation:

Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity) = 20 mm/yr

Degrees New York has to move = 10° west

New York's longitude = 110 km/°

Distance of New York = 110×10 = 1100 km

= 1100×10⁶ mm

$\text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac {\text {Distance of New York}}{\text {Rate of North American Plate moving (Velocity)}}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=\frac{1100\times 10^6}{20}\\\Rightarrow \text {Time taken by the continental plate}=55\times 10^6\ years$
