Answer:

697 m

Explanation:

From the question above,

Note: Alice hears the splash of the rock in the well through the help of echo.

Applying,

v = 2x/t........................ Equation 1

Where v = speed of sound, x = depth of the well, t = time.

make x the subject of the formula in equation 1

x = vt/2................... Equation 2.

Given: v = 340 m/s, t = 4.1 s

Substitute these values into equation 2

x = 340(4.1)/2

x = 697 m.

How high would you have to lift a 1000kg car to give it a potential energy of:

Elza [17]

Given parameters:

Mass of the car = 1000kg

Unknown:

Height = ?

To find the heights for the different amount potential energy given, we need to understand what potential energy is.

Potential energy is the energy at rest due to the position of a body.

It is mathematically expressed as:

P.E = mgh

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity = 9.8m/s²

h is the height of the car

Now the unknown is h, height and we make it the subject of the expression to make for easy calculation.

h = $\frac{P.E }{mg}$

For 2.0 x 10³ J;

h = $\frac{2000}{1000 x 9.8}$ = 0.204m

For 2.0 x 10⁵ J;

h = $\frac{200000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 20.4m

For 1.0kJ = 1 x 10³J;

h = $\frac{1000}{9.8 x 1000}$ = 0.102m

A silver bar 0.125 meter long is subjected to a temperature change from 200°C to 100°C. What will be the length of the bar after

Delicious77 [7]

$\Delta L= \alpha L_0 (T_f-T_i)$

= (18 x 10^-6 /°C)(0.125 m)(100° C - 200 °C)

= -0.00225 m

New length = L + ΔL
= 1.25 m + (-0.00225 m)
= 1.248

Part a:

$Q_{1}$ = 56

$Q_{2}$ = 60

$Q_{3}$ = 63

The quartiles are found by finding the medium of the data, and then the mediums of the two different data sets on either side of the medium. The $Q_{2}$ is the overall medium, $Q_{1}$ is the medium of the first half, and $Q_{3}$ is the medium of the second half.

-> How is the medium found? When finding the medium we put the values in order least to greatest and pick the middle value.

[] See attached

Part b:

The range is 7.

The interquartile range is the range of numbers between $Q_{1}$ and $Q_{3}$ . In other words, it is 50% of the data, directly in the middle.

This becomes 63 - 56 = 7

Part c:

79 is an outlier.

It is an outlier because it is 1.5 above or below (in this case, above) the interquartile range.

-> 63 + (7 + $\frac{7}{2}$ ) ≤ 79

-> 63 + 10.5 ≤ 79

-> 73.5 ≤ 79

Have a nice day!

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly.

Naya [18.7K]

Answer: A

Explanation:

A pneumatic control system uses compressed air as a method of control for HVAC systems. ... Each senor responds to changes in temperature, humidity, and static pressure as examples, to provide feedback in a control loop to open or close the actuator to meet the control set point.
