At summer camp, the swimming course runs the length (L) of a small lake. To determine the length of the course, the camp counsel

ors measure the two "dry" legs of a right triangle. What is the length in meters of the swimming course in the figure below?

Answer:

47 m

Explanation:

Data obtained from the question include the following:

Length of dry leg 1 (L1) = 40 m

Length of dry leg 2 (L2) = 25 m

Length of swimming course (L) =..?

The length of the swimming course can be obtained by using pythagoras theory as shown below:

L² = L1² + L2²

L² = 40² + 25²

L² = 1600 + 625

L² = 2225

Take the square root of both side.

L = √2225

L = 47.1 ≈ 47 m

Therefore, the length of the swimming course is approximately 47 m.

Tems11 [23]

<span>10 hertz Hertz is the frequency of oscillation which is the number of oscillations per second. So if something takes 0.10 s per oscillation, divide 1 second by the period to get the frequency. So 1 / 0.10s = 10 1/s = 10 Hertz Therefore the object is vibrating at 10 hertz.</span>

Discuss velocity by providing at least one example and explain why velocity is either a scalar or vector quantity.

grandymaker [24]

Velocity is speed plus direction, so an example of velocity would be a vehicle traveling at 75mph north. Velocity is a vector quantity because it describes both magnitude and direction.

ioda

Answer:c

Explanation:

Given

object is falling Freely with an odometer

Suppose it falls with zero initial velocity

so distance fallen in time t is given by

$h=ut+\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

here u=0 and t=time taken

$h=\frac{1}{2}gt^2$

for $t=1 s$

$h_1=\frac{1}{2}g$

for $t=2 s$

$h_2=\frac{1}{2}g(2)^2=\frac{4}{2}g=2g$

distance traveled in 2 nd sec $=2g-\frac{1}{2}g=\frac{3}{2}g$

for $t=3 s$

$h_3=\frac{1}{2}g(3)^2=\frac{9}{2}g$

distance traveled in 3 rd sec $=\frac{9}{2}g-2g=\frac{5}{2}g$

so we can see that distance traveled in each successive second is increasing

At the race track, one race car starts its engine with a resulting intensity level of 104.0 dB at point P. Then 6 more cars star

dem82 [27]

To solve the problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to sound intensity. The most common approach to sound intensity measurement is to use the decibel scale:

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{I}{I_0})$

Where,

$I_0 = 1*10^{-12}$ is a reference intensity. It is the lowest or threshold intensity of sound a person with normal hearing can perceive at a frequency of 1000 Hz.

I = Sound intensity

Our values are given by,

$\beta = 104dB$

$\#Autos = 7$

For each auto the intensity would be,

$104 = 10log\frac{I}{1*10^{-12}}$

$10.4= log_{10} (\frac{I}{10^{-12}})$

$10^{10.4}*10^{-12}=I$

$I = 0.02511W/m^2$

Therefore the sound intesity for the 7 autos is

$I= 7* 0.02511$

$I = 0.1748W/m^2$

The sound level for the 7 cars in dB is

$\beta (dB) = 10log_{10}(\frac{0.1748}{1*10^{-12}})$

$\beta (dB) = 112.42dB$
