If the price of gasoline at a particular station in Europe is 5 euros per liter. An American student in Europe is allowed to use

40 euros to buy gasoline. Knowing that 4 quarts make a gallon, and that 1 liter is about 1 US liquid quart, about how many gallons can the student buy?

Answer:

Number of gallons =2 gallon

Explanation:

given data:

rate of gasoline ineurope = 5 euro per liter

total money to buy gasoline = 40 euro

total gasoline an american can buy in europe $= \frac{40}{5}$

= 8 litres of gasoline

As given in the question 1 ltr is 1 quarts therefore

Total no. of quarts is 8 quarts

As from question 4 quarts is equal to one gallon, hence

Number of gallons $= \frac{8}{4} = 2 gallon$

A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When the distance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstr

Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

g=9.8m/s²

The spring constant is

k=50N/m

The length of the bungee cord is

Lo=32m

Height of bridge which one end of the bungee is tied is 91m

A steel ball of mass 92kg is attached to the other end of the bungee.

The potential energy(Us) of the steel ball before dropped from the bridge is given as

P.E= mgh

P.E= 92×9.8×91

P.E= 82045.6 J

Us= 82045.6 J

Potential energy)(Uc) of the cord is given as

Uc= ½ke²

Where 'e' is the extension

Then the extension is final height extended by cord minus height of cord

e=hf - hi

e=hf - 32

Uc= ½×50×(hf-32)²

Uc=25(hf-32)²

Using conservation of energy,

Then,

The potential energy of free fall equals the potential energy in string

Uc=Us

25(hf-32)²=82045.6

(hf-32)² = 82045.6/25

(hf-32)²=3281.825

Take square root of both sides

√(hf-32)²=√(3281.825)

hf-32=57.29

hf=57.29+32

hf=89.29m

We neglect the negative sign of the root because the string cannot compressed

Jupiter’s Great Red Spot rotates completely every six days. If the spot is circular (not quite true, but a reasonable approximat

artcher [175]

Answer:

$v = 567.2 km/h$

Explanation:

As we know that if Jupiter Rotate one complete rotation then it means that the it will turn by 360 degree angle

so here the distance covered by the point on its surface in one complete rotation is given by

$distance = 2\pi r$

$distance = \pi D$

now we will have the time to complete the rotation given as

$t = 6 days$

$t = 6 (24 h) = 144 h$

now the speed is given by

$speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

$speed = \frac{\pi D}{t}$

$speed = \frac{\pi(26000 km)}{144}$

$v = 567.2 km/h$

What type of material is good at transferring heat?

MatroZZZ [7]

The answer is A

Materials that are good conductors of thermal energy are called thermal conductors. Metals are very good thermal conductors. Materials that are poor conductors of thermal energy are called thermal insulators. Gases such as air and materials such as plastic and wood are thermal insulators

A DJ starts up her phonograph player. The turntable accelerates uniformly from rest, and takes t1 = 11.9 seconds to get up to it

Degger [83]

Answer:

a) $\omega_1=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

b) $n_1=7.735 \,rev$

c) $\alpha_1 =0.6864\,rad.s^{-2}$

d) $\alpha_2=4.1454\,rad.s^{-2}$

e) $t_2=1.061\,s$

Explanation:

Given that:

initial speed of turntable, $N_0=0\,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_0=0\,rad.s^{-1}$

full speed of rotation, $N_1=78 \,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_1=\frac{78\times 2\pi}{60}=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

time taken to reach full speed from rest, $t_1=11.9\,s$

final speed after the change, $N_2=120\,rpm\Rightarrow \omega_2=\frac{120\times 2\pi}{60}=12.5664\,rad.s^{-1}$

no. of revolutions made to reach the new final speed, $n_2=11\,rev$

(a)

∵ 1 rev = 2π radians

∴ angular speed ω:

$\omega=\frac{2\pi.N}{60}\, rad.s^{-1}$

where N = angular speed in rpm.

putting the respective values from case 1 we've

$\omega_1=\frac{2\pi\times 78}{60}\, rad.s^{-1}$

$\omega_1=8.168\,rad.s^{-1}$

(c)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_1=\omega_0+\alpha . t_1$

here α is the angular acceleration

$78=0+\alpha_1\times 11.9$

$\alpha_1 = \frac{8.168 }{11.9}$

$\alpha_1 =0.6864\,rad.s^{-2}$

(b)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_1\,^2=\omega_0\,^2+2.\alpha_1 .n_1$

$8.168^2=0^2+2\times 0.6864\times n_1$

$n_1=48.6003\,rad$

$n_1=\frac{48.6003}{2\pi}$

$n_1=7.735\, rev$

(d)

using equation of motion:

$\omega_2\,^2=\omega_1\,^2+2.\alpha_2 .n_2$

$12.5664^2=8.168^2+2\alpha_2\times 11$

$\alpha_2=4.1454\,rad.s^{-2}$

(e)

using the equation of motion:

$\omega_2=\omega_1+\alpha_2 . t_2$

$12.5664=8.168+4.1454\times t_2$

$t_2=1.061\,s$

What is the ratio of thicknesses of crown glass and water that would contain the same number of wavelengths of light?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

the thickness of the glass divided by thickness of water is going to be 1.333 divided by 1.52, which is 0.877. So, the height of this glass, in order to have the same number of wavelengths as in water, the height of the glass will be 0.877 times the height of the water, and so it will be smaller.
