A normal human being can rotate his neck at maximum angle of 70 degree at one stretch

So here the maximum angle is 70 degree upto which he can see the height

now we will have

tan\theta = \frac{H}{d}

tan70 = \frac{227.4 - 4.3}{d}

now we have

d = 81.2 m

so he is able to see the top at minimum distance of 81.2 m from that gate

Choose the sequence of energy forms that best fits each item.
levacccp [35]

Answer:

1. chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

2. Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

3. Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

4. Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

5. Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

6. Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

7. Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

8. Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

Explanation:

1.<u>FLASHLIGHT</u>:

chemical energy --> electrical energy --> light energy

The chemical energy from the cell batteries is converted to electrical energy, which is used to produce the light energy in form of flashlight.

2.<u>ELECTRIC SAW</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Mechanical Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the mechanical energy used to run the saw blade.

3.<u>TOASTER</u>:

Electrical Energy --> Heat Energy

The electrical energy from the socket is converted to the heat energy (thermal energy) used in browning the bread.

4.<u>GAS POWERED SCOOTER</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Thermal Energy  --> Mechanical Energy

The chemical energy from fuel, such as petrol is converted to heat (thermal energy) in the engine by the process of combustion. This heat is then used to do work by conversion into mechanical energy, through piston movement, which in turn moves the shaft and the scooter.

5.<u>THE SUN</u>:

Nuclear Energy --> Light energy and thermal energy

The nuclear reactions on Sun provide nuclear energy which is converted into light and thermal energy that reaches us on earth.

6.<u>WIND TURBINE</u>:

Mechanical Energy --> Electric Energy

The mechanical energy is provided by wind when it rotates the blade of turbine. This is then converted to electrical energy b the turbine.

7.<u>IPOD</u>:

Chemical Energy --> Electrical Energy --> Sound Energy

The chemical energy i supplied by the battery of ipod, which is converted to electrical energy and that electrical energy is used to produce sound by ipod.

8.<u>SPEAKER VIBRATES</u>

Mechanical Energy --> Sound Energy

The mechanical energy due to vibration produces sound energy.

Say that you are in a large room at temperature TC = 300 K. Someone gives you a pot of hot soup at a temperature of TH = 340 K.
lora16 [44]

Answer:

Explanation:

Heat energy given out by the soup

= C_v  x ( t₂ - t₁ )

= 33 x ( 340 - 300)

= 1320 J

This heat is given to Carnot engine . Efficiency of engine

= (340 - 300 ) / 340

= 40 / 340

2 / 17

This fraction of total heat given is converted into useable work by the engine.

What is a centripetal acceleration of a point on a bicycle wheel of a radius of 0.70 m when a bike is moving 8.0 m/s
Furkat [3]

Answer:

The acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

Explanation:

The centripetal acceleration acts on a body when it is performing a circular motion.

Here, a point on the bicycle is performing circular motion as the rotation of the wheel produces a circular motion.

The centripetal acceleration of a point moving with a velocity v and at a distance of r from the axis of rotation is given as:

a=\frac{v^2}{r}

Here, v=8\ m/s,r=0.70\ m

∴ a=\frac{8}{0.70}=11.43\ m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of a point on the wheel is 11.43 m/s² acting radially inward.

A skateboarder travels on a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 4.0 m/s toward the south and a constant acceleration
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

a) 0.32 m b) -2.4 m c) 1.08 m/s d) -4 m/s

Explanation:

a)

  • As the x and y axes (as chosen) are perpendicular each other, the movements along these axes are independent each other.
  • This means that we can use the kinematic equations for displacements along both axes.
  • In the x direction, as the only initial velocity is in the south direction (-y axis), the skateboarder is at rest, so we can write:

        x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} (1)

  • In the y-direction, as no acceleration is acting on the skateboarder, we can write  the following displacement equation:

        y = v_{0y} * t  (2)

  • For t = 0.6s, replacing by the givens, we get the position (displacement from the origin) on the x-axis, as follows:

       x =\frac{1}{2}*a*t^{2} =\frac{1}{2} * 1.8 m/s2*(0.6s)^{2}\\ x = 0.32 m

b)

  • From (2) we can get the position on the y-axis (displacement from the origin) as follows:

        y = v_{0y} * t  =  -4 m/s * 0.6 s = -2.4 m

c)

  • In the x- direction, we can find the component of the velocity along this direction, as follows:

        v_{fx} = a*t

  • Replacing by the values, we have:

        v_{fx} = a*t = 1.8 m/s2 * 0.6 s = 1.08 m/s

d)

  • As the skateboarder moves along the y-axis at a constant speed equal to her initial velocity, we  have:

        vfy = voy = -4 m/s
