An 8 foot metal guy wire is attached to a broken stop sign to secure its position until repairs can be made. Attached to a stake

in the ground, the guy wire makes an angle of 51º with the ground. How far from the foot of the stop sign is the stake, to the nearest tenth of a foot?

Answer:

Explanation:

The guy wire is making a right angled triangle  with the ground and stop sign . It makes an angle of 51 degree with the ground. In this triangle stop sign is the perpendicular and distance from the base on the ground forms the base of the triangle . Wire forms the hypotenuse.

base / hypotenuse = cos51

base = hypotenuse x cos51

= 8 x cos51

= 5.03 ft .

The distance of the stake with which guy wire was attached from the foot of the stop sign is 5.03 ft .

A train travels 55 kilometers in 2 hours, and then 52 kilometers in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
bulgar [2K]

The formula for working out speed is distance ÷ time.

55 km ÷ 2 hours = 27.5 km/h (average speed for first part of journey)

52km ÷ 5 hours = 10.4 km/h (average speed for second part of journey)

(27.5 + 10.4) ÷ 2 = 18.95 km/h (average speed throughout the journey)

A cylinder which is in a horizontal position contains an unknown noble gas at 4.63 × 104 Pa and is sealed with a massless piston
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Pressure P=4.63\times10^{4}\ Pa

Remove heat \Delta U= -1.95\times10^{4}\ J

Radius = 0.272 m

Distance d = 0.163 m

We need to calculate the internal energy

Using thermodynamics first equation

dU=Q-W...(I)

Where, dU = internal energy

Q = heat

W = work done

Put the value of W in equation (I)

dU=Q-PdV

Where, W = PdV

Put the value in the equation

dU=-1.95\times10^{4}-(4.63\times10^{4}\times3.14\times(0.272)^2\times(-0.163))

dU=-17746.78\ J

Hence, The change in internal energy of the system is -17746.78 J

Maya uses a tuning fork of frequency 250 Hz to produce transverese waves on a stretched string. Her friend justin measure the di
Goshia [24]

Answer:

The velocity of the wave is 12.5 m/s

Explanation:

The given parameters are;

he frequency of the tuning fork, f = 250 Hz

The distance between successive crests of the wave formed, λ = 5 cm = 0.05 m

The velocity of a wave, v = f × λ

Where;

f = The frequency of the wave

λ = The wavelength of the wave - The distance between crests =

Substituting the known values gives;

v =  250 Hz × 0.05 m = 12.5 m/s

The velocity of the wave, v = 12.5 m/s.
