We simply use the formula,

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

Given, velocity = 4 m per s and distance = 120 m.

Substituting these values, we get

$4\ m/s =\frac{120\ m}{time}\\\\\ time=\frac{120\ m}{4\ m/s} = 30\ s$ .

Thus, required time for the elevator in order to travel 120 m upwards is 30 s.

What happens to energy and frequency of a wave if its wavelength increases?

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

Waves can be measured using wavelength and frequency. ... The distance from one crest to the next is called a wavelength (λ). The number of complete wavelengths in a given unit of time is called frequency (f). As a wavelength increases in size, its frequency and energy (E) decrease.

50 grams of ice cubes at -15°C are used to chill a water at 30°C with mass mH20 = 200 g. Assume that the water is kept in a foam

Arada [10]

Answer : The final temperature is, $25.0^oC$

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

$q_1=-q_2$

$m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)$

where,

$c_1$ = specific heat of ice = $2.09J/g^oC$

$c_2$ = specific heat of water = $4.18J/g^oC$

$m_1$ = mass of ice = 50 g

$m_2$ = mass of water = 200 g

$T_f$ = final temperature = ?

$T_1$ = initial temperature of ice = $-15^oC$

$T_2$ = initial temperature of water = $30^oC$

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$50g\times 2.09J/g^oC\times (T_f-(-15))^oC=-200g\times 4.184J/g^oC\times (T_f-30)^oC$

$T_f=25.0^oC$

Therefore, the final temperature is, $25.0^oC$

An air-filled pipe is found to have successive harmonics at 700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 Hz . It is unknown whether harmonics belo

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

The successive harmonics are; 700 Hz , 900 Hz , and 1100 H

Now, for a closed pipe,

length of pipe (L) = λ/4

Harmonics; 1x, 3x, 5x, 7x, 9x, 11x

1100Hz - 900Hz = 200Hz

⇒ 2x = 200Hz

x = 100Hz ( fundamental frequency )

λ = V/f = 340 /100 = 3.4 m

Now

Length L = λ / 4

L = 3.4 / 4

L = 0.85 m or 85 cm

Therefore, the length of the pipe is 0.85 m or 85 cm

Racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speeds. A typical greyhound track has turns that are 45 m diamete

Readme [11.4K]

Answer:

In m/s^2:

a=11.3778 m/s^2

In units of g:

a=1.161 g

Explanation:

Since the racing greyhounds are capable of rounding corners at very high speed so we are going use the following formula of acceleration for circular paths.

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