Answer:

The canyon is 884 meter deep at this location

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

He hears his echo back from the Canyon floor 5.20 seconds later. (t= 5.20s)

Speed of sound in air is 340.0 m/s

<u>Step 2:</u> Calculate time echo reaches the bottom

Time the echo reaches bottom + time echo reaches top = 5.20 seconds

So the time the echo needs to reach the bottom = (5.20/2) seconds

<u>Step 3: </u>Calculate the distance

Distance = velocity * time

X = 340.0 m/s * (5.20/2) seconds

X = 884 meters

The canyon is 884 meter deep at this location

4. A meter has a resistance of 100 Ω and gives a full scale deflection when it carries a current of 25 μA. (a) What resistor, Rx
frez [133]

Answer:

A=50mΩ

B≅50mΩ

Explanation:

A) To answer this question we have to use the Current Divider Rule. that rule says:

Ix=.\frac{Req}{Rx} *Itotal (1)

Itotal represents the new maximun current, 50mA, Ix is the current going through the 100 ohms resistor, and Req. is the equivalent resitor.

We now have a set of two resistor in parallel, so:

Req.=\frac{1}{\frac{1}{R1}+\frac{1}{R2}  } (2)

where R1 is the resitor we have to calculate, and R2 is the 100 ohms resistor (25 uA).

substituting and rearranging (2)

Req.=\frac{ 100*R1}{R1+100} (3)

Now substituting (3) in (1).

25*10^{-6} =\frac{\frac{ 100*R1}{R1+100}}{100} *50*10^{-3}

solving this, The value of R1 is: 50mΩ

This value of R1 will guaranty that the ammeter full reflection willl be at 50mA.

Given that R2 (100ohm) it too much bigger than 50mΩ, the equivalent resistor will tend to 50mΩ

If you substitude this values on (2) Req. will be 49.97 mΩ.

The molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.00 a.m.u., and the molecular weight of propane gas (C3H8) is 44.10 a.m.u. Thu
Nina [5.8K]

The molecular weight of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44.00 a.m.u., and the molecular weight of propane gas (C3H8) is 44.10 a.m.u. Thus CO2 diffuses_______ C3H8.

3. Which types of light are not absorbed by genetic material?
Radda [10]

Given what we know, we can confirm that genetic material is not known to absorb light originating from an infrared or microwave radio source.

<h3>What light does genetic material absorb?</h3>
  • Genetic material is known to absorb UV light.
  • This represents ultraviolet light.
  • UV light is electromagnetic radiation, and the primary source of UV light that we are exposed to is the sun.

Therefore, given that the only form of light listed that genetic material is known to absorb is that of Ultraviolet or UV light, we can confirm that the answer to the question proposed is infrared and microwave radio light.

Let A^=6i^+4j^_2k^ and B= 2i^_2j^+3k^. find the sum and difference of A and B​
andreyandreev [35.5K]

Explanation:

Let \textbf{A} = 6\hat{\textbf{i}} + 4\hat{\textbf{j}} - 2\hat{\textbf{k}} and \textbf{B} = 2\hat{\textbf{i}} - 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + 3\hat{\textbf{k}}

The sum of the two vectors is

\textbf{A + B} = (6 + 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - 2)\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 + 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 8\hat{\textbf{i}} + 2\hat{\textbf{j}} + \hat{\textbf{k}}

The difference between the two vectors can be written as

\textbf{A - B} = (6 - 2)\hat{\textbf{i}} + (4 - (-2))\hat{\textbf{j}} + (-2 - 3)\hat{\textbf{k}}

= 4\hat{\textbf{i}} + 6\hat{\textbf{j}} - 5\hat{\textbf{k}}
