The New England Merchants Bank Building in Boston is 152 mm high. On windy days it sways with a frequency of 0.20 HzHz , and the

acceleration of the top of the building can reach 2.5 %% of the free-fall acceleration, enough to cause discomfort for occupants.What is the total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation?

Answer:

The total distance, side to side, that the top of the building moves during such an oscillation = 31 cm

Explanation:

Let the total side to side motion be 2A. Where A is maximum acceleration.

Now, we know know that equation for maximum acceleration is;

A = α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)]

So 2A = 2[α(max) / [(2πf)^(2)] ]

α(max) = (0.025 x 9.81) while frequency(f) from the question is 0.2Hz.

Therefore 2A = 2 [(0.025 x 9.81) / [((2π(0.2)) ^(2)] ] = 2( 0.245 / 1.58) = 0.31m or 31cm

A lamp draws a current of 0.50 A when it is connected to a 120 V source? What is the resistance of the lamp?
emmainna [20.7K]
Given,
Current (I) = 0.50A
Voltage (V) = 120 volts
Resistance (R) =?
We know that:-
Voltage (V) = Current (I) x Resistance (R)
→Resistance (R) = Voltage (V) / Current (I)
= 120/0.50
= 24Ω
∴ Resistance (R) = 24Ω

Gasoline burns in the cylinder of an automobile engine. During the combustion reaction, the production of gas forces the piston
serg [7]

Answer:

\Delta U = 1640 J

Explanation:

As we know by first law of thermodynamics that for ideal gas system we have

Heat given = change in internal energy + Work done

so here we will have

Heat given to the system = 2.2 kJ

Q = 2200 J

also we know that work done by the system is given as

W = 560 J

so we have

\Delta U = Q - W

\Delta U = 2200 - 560

\Delta U = 1640 J

The greatest variation in size, mass, and luminosity occurs in:.
Sidana [21]

The greatest variation in size, mass, and luminosity occurs in elliptical galaxies.

<h3>What is Variation?</h3>

This is defined as the difference from the norm which is exhibited by objects.

In the solar system, variation in features such as size, mass, and luminosity occurs mostly in elliptical galaxies due to presence of array of stars thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

The relationship between linear velocity and angular velocity
bonufazy [111]

In linear motion , when a body moves with uniform velocity , in time t , its linear displacement will be ;

S = r∅     S = vt

r∅ =  vt

r.∅ / t = v

As

v = rw

where ∅ = 90° is the angle between between radius vector r  and angular velocity w (omega )

In case ∅ ≠ 90° , we can write v = r w sin∅

It gives us v = w× r
